As of September 14, 2025, Manchester United's transfer activities continue to generate buzz, even with the summer transfer window closed in most major leagues. With the English Premier League transfer window shut until January, the focus has shifted to potential moves in leagues with extended windows, such as Turkey and Saudi Arabia, alongside speculation about future targets for 2026. Below is a roundup of the latest transfer news surrounding the Red Devils, based on recent developments.
Andre Onana’s Loan Move to Trabzonspor
One of the most significant updates involves goalkeeper Andre Onana, who has recently completed a loan move to Turkish Super Lig side Trabzonspor. The transfer was finalized on September 11, 2025, just before the Turkish transfer window closed on September 12. This move comes after Manchester United bolstered their goalkeeping department with the £18.2 million signing of Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp on deadline day. Onana’s departure, albeit temporary, signals a potential shift in United’s goalkeeping hierarchy, with Lammens joining Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton as options for manager Ruben Amorim.
Sam Mather’s Potential January Exit
Young Manchester United winger Sam Mather is reportedly eyeing a move away from Old Trafford in the January 2026 transfer window. A proposed deadline-day transfer to Turkish club Kayserispor fell through, leaving the 20-year-old academy product seeking new opportunities to gain first-team experience. Mather, who has yet to make a senior appearance for United, is likely to attract interest from clubs in lower-tier English leagues or abroad as he looks to kickstart his career.
Interest in Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton
Manchester United are among the clubs considering a move for Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton in January 2026. The 21-year-old has impressed in the Premier League, drawing attention from multiple top clubs. United’s interest in Wharton aligns with their ongoing efforts to strengthen their midfield, a priority area for Amorim’s squad rebuild. While no deal is imminent, Wharton’s performances continue to fuel speculation about a potential transfer battle in the winter window.
Joshua Zirkzee Monitored by Juventus
Italian media reports indicate that Juventus are keeping tabs on Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee as a possible replacement for Dusan Vlahovic. The Dutch striker, who joined United in 2022, has struggled to cement a regular starting spot under Amorim. While no immediate move is expected, Juventus’ interest suggests Zirkzee could be a target in 2026, especially if United pursue another high-profile striker, as rumored with a potential €84 million deal in the works for next summer.
