Ruben Amorim (Manchester United)
April 2025
Ruben Amorim said he has “no regrets” about taking the Manchester United job mid-season, despite struggles that could lead to the club’s lowest finish since 1990.
Amorim admitted doubts during December’s poor run but feels enduring hardship will strengthen the club’s rebuild. He also defended risky January departures, believing they will benefit United’s long-term future.
Marcus Rashford (Aston Villa), Antony (Real Betis)
End of 2024–25 Season
Manchester United have confirmed that all loaned players, including Marcus Rashford and Antony, will return this summer before final decisions on their futures are made.
The club praised both players’ performances while out on loan, emphasizing that their talent must now be reintegrated effectively into the team or assessed for potential transfer moves.
Joan Garcia (Espanyol)
April 2025
Manchester United have made contact over a potential deal for Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia, who has also attracted interest from Arsenal.
Garcia has a £25m release clause. Espanyol may try to retain him on loan if a big club signs him. United’s doubts over Andre Onana have accelerated their interest.
Freddie Woodman (Preston North End)
April 2025
Manchester United are interested in signing Preston North End goalkeeper Freddie Woodman on a free transfer when his contract expires this summer.
United manager Ruben Amorim sees the 28-year-old as a potential third-choice keeper. Woodman has made 44 appearances this season and previously played for Newcastle United.
Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
April 2025
Manchester United have reportedly reached an agreement to sign Wolves forward Matheus Cunha, with plans to trigger his £62.5m release clause early in the summer window.
Goal Brazil reports that United have also agreed personal terms with the 25-year-old Brazil international, who is expected to be part of Ruben Amorim’s squad rebuild at Old Trafford.
Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle United), Adam James Wharton (Crystal Palace)
April 2025
Manchester United have shortlisted Bruno Guimarães and Adam Wharton to strengthen their midfield this summer, with Christian Eriksen expected to leave the club.
Guimarães is under contract with Newcastle United until 2028, and Wharton with Crystal Palace until 2026. Offloading Carlos Henrique Casimiro (Casemiro) could prove difficult due to his high wages.
Marcus Rashford (Aston Villa)
April 2025
Marcus Rashford wants to join a Champions League club next season and will delay his decision until summer, despite Aston Villa holding a £40m purchase option.
Villa haven’t triggered the option yet, and Rashford’s £350k-a-week wages may be a hurdle. He’s open to returning to United but doubts regular minutes under Ruben Amorim.
Marcus Rashford (Aston Villa), Jadon Sancho (Chelsea), Antony Matheus dos Santos (Real Betis), Tyrell Malacia (PSV Eindhoven), Carlos Henrique Casimiro & Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United)
April 2025 (ahead of summer transfer window)
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly ready to sell six players this summer to finance a major squad overhaul, including loanees and high-profile names like Marcus Rashford and Casemiro.
Amorim has told United they must sell to buy. The listed players include those currently on loan — Rashford, Sancho, Antony, Malacia and two current squad members, Casemiro and Garnacho.
Victor Osimhen (Galatasaray)
April 2025
Manchester United are targeting a £40m move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray, with Ruben Amorim naming him his top striker priority.
With Osimhen entering the final year of his contract, Napoli risk losing him for free next summer. United seek firepower after Højlund and Zirkzee underperformed, combining for just six league goals.
Diogo Costa (FC Porto)
April 2025
Manchester United are leading the chase for Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa, with Manchester City also interested in the €75m-rated Portugal international.
United scouted Costa during Porto’s match vs Famalicão. City are ready to offer €58m, but Porto hope to spark a bidding war after the Club World Cup.
