Reports say Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants Manchester United to listen to offers for Manuel Ugarte after being unimpressed by his display in the 2-1 loss to Leeds. This is report-based, not an official club confirmation. The latest reporting claims the Leeds performance was a tipping point in a wider INEOS review of underperforming signings. United are said to be preparing a broader summer clear-out and could redirect funds toward midfield targets such as Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton.

Ugarte-Tonali Swap Talk Emerges as United Weigh Midfield Reset

Manchester United are being linked with a possible summer move that could involve Manuel Ugarte as part of a deal for Sandro Tonali. This remains transfer speculation, not a confirmed club-to-club negotiation, but it fits the wider expectation of a midfield rebuild at Old Trafford. Newcastle retain interest in Ugarte, while United continue to be linked with Tonali. The key limit here is that no formal swap agreement has been publicly confirmed, so this should be treated as a developing rumor rather than an advanced deal.

Manchester United are planning a major squad clear-out as part of a broader summer rebuild, with reports saying the club hope to raise more than £100 million through departures. The outgoing list is said to include several senior names as United try to free funds and wages for key additions. More than eight senior players could leave, while separate tabloid-linked reporting named Marcus Rashford, Andre Onana, Joshua Zirkzee, Manuel Ugarte and Rasmus Hojlund among those potentially available. Casemiro’s exit is already part of that wider midfield reshaping, and Elliot Anderson remains one of the names linked as a possible replacement.

Manchester United have put Elliot Anderson at the top of their midfield shortlist as they prepare for uncertainty around Kobbie Mainoo and continued struggles from Manuel Ugarte. United also expect to miss out to Manchester City for Antoine Semenyo, forcing a pivot in January plans. Anderson is viewed as a premium target but is unlikely to be available until summer because Forest are fighting relegation and chasing a Europa League run. United’s wider holding-midfield list includes Carlos Baleba, Conor Gallagher, Adam Wharton, Tyler Adams, Joao Gomes, Ruben Neves and James Garner.

Galatasaray are targeting Manuel Ugarte for a January loan and are open to a permanent deal in summer valued around £22 million. Manchester United are reportedly willing to move him on as Amorim reshapes the midfield. Ugarte has struggled to consistently impose himself since arriving from Paris Saint-Germain in a deal reported up to £51 million, despite recent starts due to injuries and absences. Even after a strong display in a 1-0 win over Newcastle, he is still being listed among potential January exits.

United beat Newcastle 1-0 despite having just a third of possession, as Patrick Dorgu reacted quickest to a half-cleared set piece and lashed home a stunning 15-yard volley. The goal, his first for the club, lifted Amorim’s side up to fifth place. Amorim hailed the win as one of his best at United, praising his players’ willingness to suffer, defend deep and attack every cross. He highlighted Dorgu’s confidence and Ugarte’s revival in a slightly freer role where errors are less costly and risks are encouraged.

Manchester United plan major midfield reset amid uncertainty over key stars

December 2025

Manchester United are drawing up plans for a new long-term midfield partnership next summer, closely tracking Premier League talents including Anderson, Wharton, Baleba and Scott as doubts grow over the futures of Fernandes, Casemiro, Mainoo and Ugarte in Amorim’s evolving squad. With high earners Fernandes and Casemiro potentially sellable, Mainoo frustrated by minutes and Ugarte yet to win Amorim’s trust, United expect to fund at least one big midfield signing via outgoing deals, prioritising younger profiles on sensible wages after missing out on Declan Rice in 2023.

Amorim’s treatment of Mainoo tests United fans’ patience with club ‘identity’ promises

Ruben Amorim
December 2025

Ruben Amorim’s refusal to start Kobbie Mainoo in the Premier League, despite the midfielder’s explosive 2024 breakout and England impact, has fuelled anger among Manchester United fans who see homegrown talent as core to the club’s identity and now question the manager’s direction. Mainoo has logged just 183 league minutes and mostly late cameos while Casemiro starts, with Amorim even sniggering when asked about him after the West Ham draw before defending his selection rights, a reaction branded disrespectful by many supporters and criticised by former players such as Paul Scholes.
