Manchester United is expected to have a busy window in the summer transfer, because Ruben Amorim wants to build a team that justifies the mistakes of a sad campaign 2024/25
The fate of the 2025/26 season of Manchester United is shifting from the transfers that they can deducted in the next two months. The 2024/25 campaign was the worst of the club in recent memory, where the men of Ruben Amorim repeatedly established unwanted records.
They finished 15th in the Premier League and missed the Champions League football after a defeat in the Europa League final in May. However, a spark of hope came out of their misery. It was clearly clear that a rebuilding – built in Amorim's vision – was needed for their Portuguese boss to have a chance of success next season.
United started the transfer window by signing Wolves striker Matheus Cunha in a £ 62.5 million deal earlier this month. The hierarchy of the club continues to work behind the scenes to orchestrate more signing sessions and sales, with various high-profile names linked to an old Trafford relocation this summer.
Here Mirror Football looks a look at three recent developments that can influence United's transfer processes in the coming weeks.
Alejandro Garnacho Transfer Blow
It is clear that Garnachos are numbered at Old Trafford days. The 20-year-old expressed his dissatisfaction towards Amorim after the loss of United's Europa League against Spurs in Bilbao, which was only caused during the final from the 71st minute.
It was just the last in a series of behavioral issues in which the Argentinian winger was involved, where the interest of Chelsea and Napoli offered the perfect opportunity to sell him this summer. Garnacho's own preference is to stay in the Premier League, which Chelsea initially made the front runners for his signature.
However, it seems that the blues have now changed their Garnacho interest in favor of another winger, Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund, who is said to be approaching a deal for a fee of £ 55.5 million. The move from Gittens to Stamford Bridge would probably put an end to their pursuit of Garnacho.
That is what United lets for another buyer for a player whose sales would generate substantial funds for new players. Chelsea could send Josh Acheampong of £ 35 million to Dortmund in exchange in a separate deal, with the independent claim that the Bundesliga side is interested in signing it.
Viktor Gyokees Twist
Amorim is clearly a fan of Gyokeres who played a crucial role in the evolution of the striker in a world -class player during their time at Sporting CP. So far, however, the Swede has insisted that this summer he only wants to switch to Premier League rivals Arsenal, while the Gunners weigh whether he should buy him or RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko.
Sesko is considered the favorite signing of Mikel Arteta, but Gyokees was still very contrary because of his lower price tag. But according to Bildzig, Leipzig has now reduced their initial asking price of £ 68- £ 85 million to around £ 59.7 million, which Arsenal could see with their deal for Sesko.
This can put Gyokeres in an unwanted position because his agent has already fallen with the bosses of Sporting by trying to orchestrate a move. However, the development offers the perfect opportunity for United to dive in, if Gyokees prefer a Premier League move to other options in Europe, where Juventus and other teams are also lurking.
Bryan Mbeumo makes a decision
On Friday, the Athletic reported that United Target Mbeumo Brentford said that he would rather sign for the Red Devils if he will continue this summer. Mbeumo's current contract runs until June 2026, although the bees have the option to extend it by another 12 months.
Nevertheless, United has made two offers, the second is £ 55 million plus £ 7.5 million in bonuses, both of which were rejected. The negotiations are underway between the two clubs, but a potential deal was threatened by Tottenham, who recently named Mbeumo's former Brentford -Baas, Thomas Frank, as head coach.
However, it is clear that the Cameroon International only has eyes for United, with the interest of Spurs that is now being thought. With the position of the player clear, it is up to United and Brentford to agree on a transfer that would considerably strengthen the Amorim team next season.
