Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (Borussia Dortmund)
Summer 2025 (planned move)
The 20-year-old winger has told Borussia Dortmund he wants to leave this summer after growing dissatisfied with his current role.
Dortmund are willing to sell and are lowering their initial €100m valuation. Manchester United, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich are monitoring closely.
Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United)
April 2025
United legend Paul Scholes warned that Manchester United could sell young stars Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho to raise funds this summer, as Ruben Amorim faces budget limitations under financial fair play restrictions.
Amorim is expected to lead a squad overhaul, but lacks a large transfer budget. Scholes believes selling high-value academy talent like Mainoo and Garnacho may be United’s only way to fund necessary signings, calling the situation “a major concern.”
Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
April 2025
Manchester United are preparing to challenge Arsenal for Wolves forward Matheus Cunha, initiating contact with his agent ahead of a potential summer move.
The 25-year-old Brazilian has a £62.5 million release clause and is open to leaving Wolves. His agent is expected to fly to England soon for negotiations. Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa are also monitoring the situation.
Jadon Sancho (Chelsea)
Decision expected in May 2025
Chelsea will decide whether to activate the £25m clause to sign Sancho permanently from Manchester United or send him back for £5m.
Sancho has two goals and five assists in 25 appearances this season. His performances will influence the Blues’ final call, with Manchester United awaiting clarity on the winger’s long-term future.
Antony (Real Betis)
April 2025
Real Betis sporting director Manu Fajardo says the club will “do everything possible” to keep Antony beyond this season after a successful loan spell. The Brazilian has tallied four goals and four assists since January.
Fajardo praised the teamwork behind securing Antony and said the club will explore multiple options to extend his stay. No formal talks have been confirmed yet, but Betis are determined to retain the forward’s services.
Liam Delap (Ipswich Town)
Summer 2025
Manchester United have identified Ipswich striker Liam Delap as their top target to fix scoring issues, edging out costlier names like Viktor Gyökeres and Benjamin Sesko. Chelsea are also keen due to Enzo Maresca’s City connection.
Delap, who has 12 goals in 30 Premier League games, could be available for £40m if Ipswich are relegated. Despite City’s £40m buyback clause, they’re unlikely to trigger it, though they would earn 20% of any Ipswich profit.
Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace)
Summer 2025 Transfer Window
Mateta’s 13-goal season has caught the attention of multiple clubs, with Manchester United and Nottingham Forest joining the race. The French striker has become a consistent performer and is seen as a proven Premier League goal threat.
United and Forest are expected to compete with Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Atlético Madrid. Palace will likely field offers amid rising interest, and the forward’s strong form may spark a high-stakes bidding war this summer.
Antony (Real Betis)
Ongoing; loaned in January 2025
Manchester United have received a surprising £64 million offer from Atletico Madrid for Antony, who has regained form on loan at Real Betis. United bought him for £86m in 2022, but his Old Trafford future is uncertain.
Antony has scored 4 goals and provided 4 assists in 12 games for Betis under Manuel Pellegrini, reigniting interest in La Liga. Atletico are willing to pay £38m up front plus £26m in add-ons. Amorim blamed Antony’s EPL struggles on “physicality,” but the winger’s agent hit back, citing limited playing time (only 252 minutes under Amorim).
Victor Osimhen (Galatasaray)
Summer 2025
Juventus are ramping up efforts to sign Victor Osimhen after his impressive 28-goal loan spell at Galatasaray.
Osimhen fell out with Napoli but didn’t secure a move last summer. Juventus hope to convince him to stay in Italy despite Premier League interest from Manchester United.
Ademola Lookman (Atalanta)
Summer 2025
Manchester United are strongly interested in signing Atalanta’s in-form forward Ademola Lookman, who has scored 18 goals this season after a stellar 2023 campaign that earned him a Ballon d’Or nomination.
United face competition from Newcastle, Nottingham Forest, and Juventus, but Lookman reportedly prefers a Premier League return.
