Alejandro Garnacho (Chelsea)
August 2025
Alejandro Garnacho gave his first interview as a Chelsea player, calling the club “the best in the world” after sealing a £40m transfer from Manchester United. The 21-year-old winger credited compatriot Enzo Fernandez’s influence on his move and said Chelsea’s sporting project convinced him. Garnacho made 144 appearances for United but was told he was not part of Ruben Amorim’s plans.
Rasmus Hojlund (Manchester United)
August 2025
asmus Hojlund was greeted by jubilant Napoli fans upon landing in Italy to complete a medical before finalising his season-long loan from Manchester United. The deal includes a conditional £38m obligation to buy if Napoli qualify for the Champions League. Left out of all United’s games this season, Hojlund fell down Amorim’s pecking order after scoring just four league goals last campaign. Napoli see him as a long-term attacking solution under Antonio Conte, with fans already hailing him as their newest star.
Alejandro Garnacho (Chelsea)
August 2025
Chelsea sealed the signing of Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United for £40m, with the Argentine winger committing to a seven-year deal. The move includes a 10% sell-on clause and follows his exclusion from Ruben Amorim’s plans at Old Trafford. Garnacho chose Chelsea over Bayern Munich, insisting on a Premier League stay. His arrival continues Chelsea’s heavy recruitment, joining Delap, Joao Pedro, Gittens, and Hato. For United, offloading Garnacho eases financial strain, while Chelsea gain a young winger with strong attacking potential.
Benjamin Sesko (Manchester United)
August 2025
Ruben Amorim clarified why Benjamin Sesko has been benched for three straight Premier League matches despite his £75m signing. Sesko, who played 120 minutes midweek in the Carabao Cup, was deemed unfit to start against Burnley despite fan expectations. Amorim said Sesko’s preseason fitness and heavy workload in the Grimsby loss influenced his decision. With other injury concerns in the squad, he refused to risk the striker. Sesko remains highly rated but will need time to adjust and earn starts.
Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United)
August 2025
Alejandro Garnacho was seen at Stamford Bridge ahead of his near-£40m ($54m) move from Manchester United to Chelsea. The winger is set to become the Blues’ latest signing after weeks of negotiations and United’s attempts to offload surplus players. Garnacho rejected Bayern Munich earlier this month, insisting Chelsea was his only desired destination. United finally reached an agreement, easing financial strain while Chelsea strengthen their attack. The 21-year-old’s unveiling is expected imminently, though his integration into an already packed forward line raises questions.
Jadon Sancho (Manchester United)
August 2025
Tottenham are eyeing Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho as a possible replacement for Son Heung-Min. The 25-year-old, out of favour under Ruben Amorim, has interest from Roma but Spurs could rival them with a £25m offer before the deadline.
United signed Sancho from Borussia Dortmund for €85m in 2021 but his value has plummeted. Spurs, reeling from injuries to James Maddison and transfer setbacks, may move quickly to secure him. His contract includes an option year, allowing United to protect market value.
Antony (Real Betis)
August 2025
Manchester United have accepted a £25m offer from Real Betis for winger Antony, including a 50% sell-on clause. The Brazilian, omitted from United’s squad this summer, is close to ending his torrid three-year spell at Old Trafford.
Antony impressed at Betis last season on loan, scoring nine goals in 26 games, prompting the La Liga club’s push for a permanent deal. United, eager to offload surplus players, await personal terms agreement to complete one of their biggest departures of the window.
Ruben Amorim (Manchester United)
August 2025
Ruben Amorim admitted frustration boiled over after Manchester United’s shock Carabao Cup exit to League Two Grimsby, saying his comments about “hating players” came in the heat of the moment. He now insists his focus is on preparing the squad for Burnley.
The Portuguese coach acknowledged emotions clouded his judgment following the penalties defeat but reassured fans he remains committed to leading United forward. Amorim admitted he sometimes feels like quitting but stressed he remains focused on improvement and bouncing back immediately at Old Trafford.
Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United)
August 2025
Chelsea are in advanced talks with Manchester United for Alejandro Garnacho in a deal worth £35–40m. The winger has rejected Bayern Munich, made clear his wish to move only to Chelsea, and could seal the switch before Monday’s deadline. Garnacho, frozen out under Ruben Amorim alongside United’s unwanted outcasts, hasn’t featured since last season. Chelsea initially balked at United’s £50m valuation but with squad space created by offloading Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson, negotiations resumed to meet a compromise fee and finalise the transfer.
