December 2025

Galatasaray are targeting Manuel Ugarte for a January loan and are open to a permanent deal in summer valued around £22 million. Manchester United are reportedly willing to move him on as Amorim reshapes the midfield. Ugarte has struggled to consistently impose himself since arriving from Paris Saint-Germain in a deal reported up to £51 million, despite recent starts due to injuries and absences. Even after a strong display in a 1-0 win over Newcastle, he is still being listed among potential January exits.

December 2025

Everton are reported to be considering January loan moves for Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee, but any deal is described as complex and expensive, with United undecided on exits. Moyes has played down expectations of heavy January business. Everton’s interest is framed as opportunistic loans rather than quick fixes, with injuries and AFCON absences squeezing depth. Reports claim Grealish’s loan has improved Everton’s pull for higher-profile targets and could be used as part of the pitch, while the club follows a multi-window strategy.

Hojlund’s Napoli Surge Continues as Conte Explains His Fit

Rasmus Hojlund
December 2025

Rasmus Hojlund scored twice in Napoli’s 2-0 Serie A away win at Cremonese, continuing a strong run since joining on a season-long loan from Manchester United. Conte said the striker is thriving because he is learning the role and applying it more consistently within the team’s structure. Napoli adjusted tactically due to injuries and absences but still created chances through a system that suited Hojlund’s movement and physical presence. His brace followed the Supercoppa win and helped Napoli keep momentum after a recent league wobble, as Conte stressed they are still chasing the top standard.

Zirkzee says yes to Roma as minutes dry up under Amorim at Man Utd

Joshua Zirkzee
December 2025

Zirkzee has reportedly given a verbal green light to join Roma in January after just one goal and four starts this season, having slid behind Sesko and Cunha in United’s striker pecking order. He sees Serie A as the best route to secure regular minutes before the 2026 World Cup. Roma sporting director Ricky Massara and coach Gian Piero Gasperini convinced him he fits their 3-4-2-1 system, but any move hinges on United’s depth during AFCON absences for Mbeumo and Amad. Amorim has warned no exit will be sanctioned without a replacement, arguing the squad is already thin and cannot afford to weaken further.

Semenyo wants January clarity as £65m release clause puts Man City in pole

Antoine Semenyo
December 2025

Semenyo is pushing for his future to be resolved by the opening of the window as a £65m clause, active only until January 10, tempts multiple giants. After eight goals and three assists this season, Manchester City are viewed as favourites, with Liverpool, United, Chelsea and Spurs monitoring the situation. Bournemouth tied him to a long-term deal to 2030 but accepted a time-limited clause to protect value and allow replacement planning. Iraola has made clear he wants to keep his “massive” attacking threat, yet admits some decisions lie beyond his control, leaving the Cherries braced for a late elite bid that could force a sale.

Rashford wins early backing from Barca members for permanent move

Marcus Rashford
December 2025

Rashford’s strong Barcelona form, with two goals and six assists on loan from United, has helped Flick’s side string together eight straight wins and build a four-point La Liga lead, prompting a member poll in which a majority backed turning his season-long loan into a permanent transfer. Mundo Deportivo reported 54.6 percent of voting socios in favour of signing him, 35.6 percent against and 6.3 percent preferring to wait, reinforcing Rashford’s public wish to stay even though any final agreement would likely require a wage reduction and a definitive decision closer to summer 2026.

Man Utd still circling Brighton’s Baleba for 2026 midfield rebuild

Carlos Baleba
December 2025

United remain interested in Brighton midfielder Baleba after balking at a £100m valuation last summer and have continued internal discussions about a future bid as they look for long-term midfield reinforcements despite already spending about £230m on transfers earlier this season. Coach Hurzeler has admitted that talk of a “big, big offer” from United affected the 21-year-old emotionally, while Baleba says he put extra pressure on himself but is working every day to rediscover last season’s level, insisting his focus stays on Brighton despite persistent links.

Man Utd line up AFCON forward Sinayoko on free transfer for 2026

Lassine Sinayoko
December 2025

United are in serious talks with Auxerre forward Lassine Sinayoko, whose deal expires next summer, aiming to secure a pre-contract for a free transfer at the end of the 2025-26 season while he features for Mali at AFCON. Having already added Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, Amorim still wants more attacking depth and values Sinayoko’s versatility across the front line. United are now focused on finalising personal terms this month, viewing the Auxerre striker as a low-cost way to deepen their long-term forward options.

Since leaving Manchester United for Napoli in 2024, McTominay has transformed into a title-winning talisman, scoring 13 goals in his debut season, lifting Serie A and collecting MVP and Serie A Player of the Year honours, becoming the first Scottish winner of the award. Now 29 and treated “like a god” in Naples, McTominay is reportedly feeling the strain of constant attention and scrutiny. Linked with Spurs, Newcastle and even Barcelona, he is understood to be considering his long-term future, with a potential Premier League return no longer ruled out.
