If you’re searching for the latest Manchester United transfer news, you’re in the right place. We’ve compiled all the hottest updates, targets, rumors, and official signings in one detailed blog post. Let’s dive in.
Top Story: Manchester United Target Benjamin Šeško in Blockbuster Summer Deal
Manchester United are stepping up efforts to sign Benjamin Šeško from RB Leipzig. Slovenian forward Šeško, who is 22, is United's major target this summer, following a season where there were few goals.
Sources close to negotiations report that Manchester United are also keen on a swap deal with Rasmus Højlund throwing in some cash to get Šeško. Leipzig want around €70 million (£60m+), but with Højlund included, that amount could come down.

Šeško is reportedly favoring a move to the Premier League, and with Newcastle also circling, United must act fast. Manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly making Šeško the focal point of the rebuild strategy.
⚽ Plan B: Ollie Watkins Remains a Solid Plan B
If the Šeško move is stalled, Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins is waiting in the wings. United have had a keen interest in England international Watkins, who netted 19 Premier League goals last season.
Villa would not give him up, though, unless an offer of over £55 million came in. The club values Watkins for speed, pressing, and Premier League experience—attributes United's forwards have sorely missed.
Goalkeeper News: Gianluigi Donnarumma Lined Up for Old Trafford
There is speculation at Old Trafford that the club can sign Gianluigi Donnarumma, PSG's Italian goalkeeper. While United's current No.1, Andre Onana, remains Amorim's top target, Donnarumma could be signed to offer competition and reliability at the back.
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, however, has confirmed that no formal talks have occurred yet. PSG are close to signing Lille youngster Lucas Chevalier, which would release Donnarumma for a possible move later on in the window.

Garnacho Transfer Speculation: Chelsea & Villa Show Interest
Another that hit the headlines is Alejandro Garnacho's future. Rumors state that Chelsea and Aston Villa are going to put in bids for the Argentine winger. United fans were left stunned when darts phenomenon and United fan Luke Littler speculated Garnacho was going to be exchanged for Watkins!
Garnacho to Chelsea rumor gathers pace
While Garnacho's future appears rosy at Old Trafford, United will be inclined to sell if the offer is too good an opportunity to turn down—especially with Šeško and Mbeumo supplemented in the frontline.

⚖️ Possible Departures: Who Might Be Leaving?
To fund future signings, United are open to listening to bids for:
- Rasmus Højlund – might be included as part of a Šeško swap deal
- Jadon Sancho – valued at £17 million
- Alejandro Garnacho – approaching offers from Chelsea and Aston Villa
- Victor Lindelöf and Donny van de Beek – reducing the squad is underway
These exits would balance the wage bill and reduce the squad next season.
