As the 2025/26 season looms on the horizon, Manchester United transfer news today is full of exciting news, high-profile signings, and important decisions that shape the club's future. From confirmed new signings such as Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha to pursuing new strikers like Ollie Watkins and Benjamin Šeško, United are breaking boundaries with Ruben Amorim in charge.
✅ Official Signings at Manchester United
Bryan Mbeumo was officially signed by Manchester United from Brentford on July 21, 2025, for a deal of approximately £65 million. The French winger rejected interests from Champions League sides to sign at United, a statement of the ambition of the club under Amorim.
Another significant signing is Matheus Cunha, who was signed from Wolves on June 12, 2025, for approximately £62.5 million. His pace and creativity will be hoped to contribute more flair to United's attacking arsenal.
Youths like Diego León from Cerro Porteño and Enzo Kana-Biyik, signed on a free transfer from Le Havre, have also been recruited. Kana-Biyik has been subsequently loaned out for development.
Rashford Loaned to Barcelona
In a shocking but strategic move, Marcus Rashford has joined Barcelona on loan for a season, set to take effect from July 23, 2025. Despite many criticizing the forward's temporary exit, this signing is likely intended to resuscitate his form with regular playing time at a better team.
Striker Hunt: Watkins vs. Šeško
United are persevering in an effort to sign a high-calibre striker. Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Šeško are United's primary targets, sources have confirmed.
- Watkins has Premier League experience and is valued at around £60 million. There are talks ongoing, and United seem keen on signing a player who will be able to hit the ground running.
- Šeško, on the other hand, is a young and highly rated forward whose value is around £70 million. Manchester United are reportedly discussing a transfer of around £60 million.
❌ Targets Rule-Outs
Confirmed reports by TalkSPORT reveal that Nicolas Jackson at Chelsea is no longer in consideration due to budgetary planning and other team considerations.
Goalkeeper Rumours: Donnarumma Linked
There is a growing rumor of Gianluigi Donnarumma departing PSG maybe, and Manchester United are among the sides that are rumored to be on his wish list. But with strong competition from Chelsea and Manchester City and having extremely high salary demands, it's an unrealistic prospect, states The Guardian.
Possible Departures: Sancho, Garnacho, Antony
- Jadon Sancho is heavily linked with departure. United are prepared to sell him for about £17–20 million, and Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Borussia Dortmund are keen.
- Alejandro Garnacho could be part of a transfer exchange or sold outright. Chelsea and Aston Villa are reported to have shown interest.
- Antony, whose May Real Betis loan expired, is on the transfer list. A permanent exit can be anticipated this summer.
Manager Ruben Amorim's Vision
Ruben Amorim was vocal in a recent ManUtd.com interview: "We only want players who want to be here." His approach is considered, to rebuild with hungry players who fit the system instead of buying big names for publicity.
