Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
April 2025
United are considering a swap deal involving Marcus Rashford and Ollie Watkins. The 27-year-old striker is seen as a potential long-term option, especially with Rashford possibly staying at Villa.
Rashford, previously valued at £40m, could facilitate Watkins’ move to Old Trafford. Arsenal are also monitoring Watkins’ situation as the summer window approaches.
Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace)
April 2025
Manchester United are eyeing Eze to reinforce their midfield creativity, especially if Marcus Rashford departs. Eze, under contract until 2026, is valued around £50 million and also attracts interest from Aston Villa.
Ruben Amorim sees Eze as a key fit for his reshaped squad. Palace expect bids this summer, and Villa may act if Rashford returns to United or joins another club.
Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United)
April 2025
Manchester United have reportedly reduced their asking price for Alejandro Garnacho to €45M (£34.2M), just months after rejecting bids over £50M.
Garnacho, 20, has struggled to fit into Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 system despite tallying 10 goals and 8 assists in 49 appearances. Napoli, who previously had a £40M bid rejected, remain interested. Garnacho is under contract until 2028.
Leon Goretzka (Manchester United)
April 2025
Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka intends to stay at the Allianz Arena despite ongoing interest from Manchester United.
The 30-year-old has reestablished himself under Vincent Kompany, featuring in 35 matches this season. He plans to see out his contract, which runs until 2026.
Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig)
April 2025
Manchester United are drawing up plans to sign 21-year-old attacking midfielder Xavi Simons, hoping to beat Liverpool and Manchester City to his signature.
Simons has 14 goal contributions in 21 Bundesliga games and is seen as a perfect tactical fit under Amorim. However, Champions League qualification—likely via Europa League victory—may be crucial to securing the deal.
Aaron Ramsdale (Southampton)
April 2025
Manchester United are monitoring Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who is keen to remain in England to boost his chances of making Thomas Tuchel’s England squad.
Ramsdale joined Southampton from Arsenal last summer and has made 26 appearances this season. Despite foreign interest, the 26-year-old prefers a domestic move after Saints’ recent relegation from the Premier League.
Patrik Schick (Bayer Leverkusen)
April 2025
Manchester United have made contact with Bayer Leverkusen over a potential €30M move for striker Patrik Schick, who has scored 17 goals in 26 Bundesliga games this season.
The Czech striker is also attracting Saudi interest but reportedly prefers a Premier League switch. United are keeping close tabs as they explore attacking reinforcements for the summer window.
Newcastle United v Manchester United
April 2025
Manchester United slumped to their 14th Premier League loss of the season, a joint-record since 1989–90 after a 4–1 thrashing by Newcastle. The Magpies, without manager Eddie Howe, moved into the top four.
Goals from Tonali, Barnes (2), and Guimarães punished a poor United side that has now conceded first in 19 league games. Garnacho scored a brief equalizer, but debutant keeper Bayindir’s late error capped another defensive collapse.
