Manchester United made solid reinforcements last summer. Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko and Senne Lammens have all played an important role in Manchester United’s journey to 7 points down to losing their Champions League ticket for the coming season. It is still unclear whether Carrick will be in charge of United next season, but there is much to suggest that what works will continue. And there’s more to come.
Casemiro is done at Man Utd, Manuel Ugarte is expected to have to give way, with management hoping to recoup as much as possible of the approximately £50 million they paid PSG two summers ago.

The hyperactive transfer journalist Romano has in the last 48 hours reported Man Utd are preparing for TWO great midfielders this summer, not just one.
Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton are still on Man Utd’s radar, with multiple sources confirming that Nottingham Forest’s Anderson is the biggest target for Jason Wilcox and co. According to transfer journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the Red Devils are not deterred by Forest’s expectations of cashing in between £100m and £120m for the 23-year-old.
Tavolieri urges Man Utd supporters to keep an eye on Aston Villa’s Amadou Onana, who the club has shown long-standing interest in: “Amadou Onana (Aston Villa) is another option. The Belgian midfielder could leave Villa for a significant sum. Ironically, he turned down Manchester United in 2024 when he left Everton.”

The third and final addition to the midfield involves West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes, although that deal could be postponed until a future transfer window. Fernandes is being considered a strong candidate to succeed Bruno Fernandes himself, according to inked The Sun , the United captain has asked Man Utd management to sign the West Ham player to ensure that a right replaces the line up until the day Bruno resigns at Old Trafford.
What is certain is that United’s next midfield reinforcements have already shown they can handle pace, intensity and punch in the world’s toughest league.
