Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace)
April 2025
Manchester United could target Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta if their move for Ipswich’s Liam Delap fails, with Mateta scoring 16 goals this season.
Mateta also impressed for France’s U23s at the Paris Olympics, making him a strong alternative striking option for United’s summer plans.
Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
April 2025
Manchester United offered Matheus Cunha a five-year deal and are prepared to activate his £63m release clause, aiming to spread payments over multiple seasons.
Cunha, with 15 goals and six assists this season, continues to attract strong Premier League interest after another standout performance against Leicester City.
André Onana (Manchester United)
April 2025
Saudi Arabian club Neom is in talks with André Onana for a potential summer move, with the goalkeeper open to leaving Europe.
Neom, leading Saudi’s second tier, is planning major signings to strengthen if promoted to the Saudi Pro League.
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.
