United Update

🚨 AC Milan are now MONITORING Marcus Rashford's situation at Barcelona and are ready to act if Barcelona fail to complete a deal. [@MirrorFootball]

🚨 Ryan Giggs on Michael Carrick: "The change has been amazing. We were all like 'we need 7 or 8 players', and now maybe we need 3 or 4 in the summer." "At this moment I can't see beyond Carrick, I simply can't. He's brought tranquility." "Give him time, I think he'll go from success to success."

🚨 Manchester United are working very hard to renew the contracts of both Harry Maguire and Mainoo and the goal is to sign everything for both players by the end of the season. The plan is to renew Kobbie Mainoo until 2030 with an additional year optional and Harry Maguire till 2027 with an option to extend to 2028. [@FabrizioRomano]

🚨 Manchester United stress that they will not rush his return and there is no timeline set. The aim is to have him back before the end of the season and they will take no risks with him. [@RichFay]

🚨 Patrick Dorgu is BACK doing individual training on grass. He will be back in action before the end of the season and could even make his return later this month. ✅🇩🇰

🚨 Manchester United want to push to sign Elliot Anderson as soon as possible, preferably before the start of the World Cup. United fear that the price tag for Anderson could soar even higher should he perform well in the World Cup. [@samuelluckhurst] #mufc

🚨 Manchester United and Manchester City are preparing to move swiftly for Elliot Anderson this summer. Both rivals are aware that his price tag could rise significantly if he impresses at the upcoming World Cup. United and City aim to make progress before the transfer window opens on June 15 and avoid a potential bidding war. [@samuelluckhurst] #mufc

🚨 Luis Enrique and Julian Nagelsmann are Michael Carrick’s only two remaining rivals for the Manchester United job. There is a feeling inside the club that he has outperformed his Premier League counterparts, including Oliver Glasner, Marco Silva, Unai Emery, and Thomas Frank. [@TyMarshall_MEN] #mufc

🚨 Before joining Tottenham as manager, Roberto De Zorbi contacted United officials to see if he was in the mix. However, he was told that he was not in the reckoning for the permanent head coach role at United.[@alex_crook] #mufc

🚨 If Bruno Fernandes were to be sold, he would cost well over £150m. Currently the BEST player in the Premier League and one of the best ever. I personally wouldn't let him go for even £150m.

🚨 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Manchester United have identified Nico Schlotterbeck as a key defensive target for the summer window. Talks over a new contract at Borussia Dortmund have not progressed as expected. If the situation remains unchanged, the German international could be available for around €30–35M. [@Plettigoal] #mufc

🚨 Manchester United's scouting department are putting increased emphasis on South American recruitment opportunities to find top talent. The club believes they previously missed out on great talent from the Americas, and INEOS are determined to be very active in the region.

🚨 Manchester United is ready to SHATTER their own club record transfer fee to sign a top midfielder this summer. [@RichFay]

🚨 Joshua Zirkzee wants to stay at Manchester United and fight for his place, despite previously considering a January move for more game time. However, with increased competition and limited minutes, the club could hold talks over a possible exit if his situation doesn’t improve. [@JacobsBen] #mufc

🚨 Manchester United may need to recruit an additional central midfielder this summer, particularly if Manuel Ugarte departs amid limited game time following his £50.5m move from PSG. [@TelegraphDucker] #mufc

🚨 Manchester United are aiming to clear at least £1.2 million per week from their wage bill this summer, with potential departures including Casemiro, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Rasmus Højlund and André Onana. The plan is to create significant financial space for new signings while increasing flexibility in the market. With a bigger and stronger squad required—especially if Champions League football is secured—the club are looking to reshape the team and reinvest heavily in key areas ahead of next season. [@RichFay]

🚨 Even if Manchester United sign two top midfielders in the summer transfer window—ideally Elliot Anderson and Sandro Tonali—they will still need a third addition in midfield. However, instead of making another signing, the club is planning to promote a youngster to the first team. Options under consideration include Sekou Kone, Toby Collyer, and Jack or Tyler Fletcher.

🚨 Manchester United are among the clubs keeping tabs on Juventus defender Gleison Bremer. Juventus will only sell the Brazilian for €60M this summer. [@Ekremkonur] #mufc
