André Onana (Manchester United) and Éderson (Manchester City)
Summer 2025
Saudi Pro League clubs — including Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad — want both keepers.
United and City are scouting Senne Lammens (Royal Antwerp) and Lucas Chevalier (Lille) as replacements. Newcastle United and West Ham are also interested in Lammens.
Marcus Rashford (Manchester United / Aston Villa)
24 March 2025
Rashford will not return to Manchester United after his loan at Villa; the club plans to sell him permanently.
New manager Ruben Amorim has ruled Rashford out of future plans. United will look to strike a £60m deal with Aston Villa.
Kenan Yildiz → Manchester United
Summer 2025 (pending Juventus’s UCL qualification)
United scouts have closely tracked the €80m-rated 19-year-old forward, who is emerging as a key target for Ruben Amorim’s setup.
Juventus currently consider him unavailable, but a failure to reach the Champions League could shift their stance. Other clubs interested include Aston Villa, Chelsea, and Liverpool.
Adam Wharton → Manchester United / Manchester City
Summer 2025
Both clubs are monitoring the Crystal Palace midfielder, who’s also drawn interest from Spurs, Chelsea, and clubs abroad.
The 21-year-old has impressed at Palace and was recently training with England’s senior team.
Marcus Rashford, Aston Villa, Manchester United
Decision expected before June 2025
Aston Villa are undecided on activating a £40 million purchase option for on-loan forward Marcus Rashford.
Rashford has 4 assists in 9 games; he could return to United if Villa don’t exercise the clause.
Felix Nmecha, Borussia Dortmund
Summer Transfer Window
Manchester United have shown interest in signing Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha, who is valued at £40 million.
United are looking to bolster their midfield options, and Nmecha has emerged as a potential target. Dortmund, however, may demand a significant transfer fee before considering a sale.
Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig)
Summer 2025
Manchester United remain interested in Simons, but RB Leipzig’s €80M asking price could be a stumbling block.
United are prioritizing an attacking midfielder and a striker, with Simons, Benjamin Sesko, and Hugo Ekitike among their targets.
Jobe Bellingham (Sunderland → Manchester United)
Summer 2025
Manchester United are one of six Premier League clubs interested in Bellingham if Sunderland fail to secure promotion.
The 19-year-old midfielder is under contract until 2028, meaning Sunderland are not under financial pressure to sell, but interest from United, Brentford, and Nottingham Forest is strong.
Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting CP → Manchester United/Bayern Munich)
Summer 2025
Manchester United and Bayern Munich are among the clubs interested in signing Gyökeres.
Sporting CP are demanding that his €100m release clause be met. United may need to sell players before making a move, while Bayern are also monitoring his situation.
Mason Mount, Luke Shaw (Manchester United)
Ongoing injury concerns since December 2024
Mount and Shaw remain sidelined due to hamstring and calf injuries, respectively, with their availability uncertain.
Mount has missed 51 games since joining United, while Shaw has been absent more than he has played since 2014. Both are facing scrutiny over their prolonged absences.
