Manchester United’s primary objective in the summer transfer window was to strengthen their forward line after finishing in 15th position in the Premier League last season.
Manchester United begins its summer transfer market by paying Matheus Cunha’s 62.5 million pounds release clause, followed by the signing of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford.
The club planned to sign both Matheus Cunha and Liam Delap, then make sales before returning for another number 10, but Delap decided to join Chelsea, which changed their plans.
After the signing of Bryan Mbeumo, the focus is now fully on a striker, with RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins seen as the major targets.
Manchester United held talks with representatives of Ollie Watkins and Benjamin Sesko to ask about the condition of a potential deal. The club also contacted Aston Villa, but were told that Watkins is not for sale, according to multiple reports.
Benjamin Sesko wants to join Manchester United
Benjamin Sesko would prefer a move to Manchester United over Newcastle this summer, according to Jan Aage Fjortoft.
Newcastle sources have also revealed that there’s a feeling at the club that Benjamin Sesko will join Manchester United, and they are looking at other targets, but still in the race.
Ollie Watkins has admirers at the club, but Aston Villa told Manchester United early in the window that he is not for sale and are adamant he is staying. The United hierarchy are reluctant to pay what they thought it may have taken for Villa to consider doing business, reports David Ornstein.
Manchester United open formal talks for Benjamin Sesko after sending a secret delegation to Germany, and it seems like Ruben Amorim will end up with the 22-year-old striker.

Brentford are now working to sign a replacement for Bryan Mbeumo, who is expected to join Manchester United this summer.
Manchester United opened talks with Brentford for the signing of Bryan Mbeumo over one month ago after the player agreed to join the club.
Bryan Mbeumo rejected about four Premier League clubs to prioritize Manchester United. Additionally, he informed Brentford that he would only join the Red Devils if he were to leave the club during the summer transfer window.
Newcastle United, Arsenal, and Tottenham are among the clubs seriously interested in signing him, but his decision to join Manchester United stopped the clubs from entering talks with Brentford.
The gap between Manchester United and Brentford on their valuation of Bryan Mbeumo remains considerable. The two sides are several million pounds apart, according to David Ornstein, who first broke the news about Mbeumo saying yes to Manchester United.
There have been no significant developments over the past couple of weeks, and a deal is still not imminent, but talks continue as United work to complete a move, he added.
However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Brentford are working on a possible replacement for Bryan Mbeumo, who is expected to join Manchester United.
Brentford made an offer for Omari Hutchinson
Brentford has sent a £35 million bid for Ipswich winger Omari Hutchinson, but this offer has been rejected by the club, and they are reportedly demanding £40 million to let the winger leave. He is expected to replace Mbeumo, who is set to join Manchester United.
“Having Bryan Mbeumo for the pre-season tour has been the mission, and efforts are being made to make it happen before then. His wait for United gives hope to the club about his commitment. Manchester United remain optimistic and confident.” According to Fabrizio Romano.

Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has agreed to join Manchester United this summer, but any deal will depend on one player.
Manchester United are looking to strengthen several areas of the squad this summer after a disastrous season, described as the worst in the club’s history.
The goalkeeper position is one of the areas the club wants to strengthen this summer, as reports claimed that Ruben Amorim wants a new number one.
Argentina international Emiliano Martinez has emerged as the preferred choice for the position next season. The 32-year-old appeared to bid farewell to Aston Villa fans after the last home game of the season at Villa Park stadium.
Emiliano Martinez wants to try a new challenge next season, and his family would love to stay in England and continue in the Premier League, according to multiple reports. There’s also interest from Atletico Madrid, but only if Oblak leaves.
Man United to sign Dibu Martinez if Onana leaves
Manchester United has received positive feedback from Emiliano Martinez as a goalkeeper option if Andre Onana leaves the club this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The report also stated that initial contacts had already been made, and Emiliano Martinez is ready to say YES to Manchester United. He is open to joining the club without UEFA Champions League football.
Saudi Arabian Pro League clubs are maintaining interest in Andre Onana, but no proposals have been made yet; this story could develop later this summer. The club is monitoring the goalkeeper situation in case Onana’s future changes. Vanja Milinković-Savić has remained on the shortlist since March, reports Fabrizio Romano.

Manchester United are in search of a new striker in the market this summer, and a lot of names have been discussed, including Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike.
The new name on the list of Manchester United for the striker position is talented French striker Hugo Ekitike. Manchester United aims to sign a number nine this summer after the lack of goals last season.
Reports suggest that Manchester United believes that one of the reasons why they finished so low in the Premier League last season comes down to the lack of goals.
Manchester United are interested in Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres. However, it has been confirmed by multiple sources that the Swedish striker prefers a move to Arsenal due to Champions League football.
Manchester United held talks with Ekitike
Manchester United have held initial talks with Eintracht Frankfurt over the signing of Hugo Ekitike. United are exploring the conditions of a deal, according to Sky Sports News.
The report also stated that personal terms are not expected to be a problem, and the player could be open to a potential move. Eintracht Frankfurt wants around 100 million euros for the striker, with Chelsea and Liverpool also interested.
However, Liverpool would need to sell Darwin Nunez before bringing in a new striker, while Chelsea are not willing to match Hugo Ekitike’s price tag, having signed Liam Delap this summer.
Is Hugo Ekitike A Manchester United fan?
Yes, Hugo Ekitike is a huge Manchester United fan, and he revealed in 2024 during an interview that the Red Devils are his favorite club growing up. He also idolized Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo.
Signing Hugo Ekitike will be expensive, but the player will be open to joining his boyhood club without a Champions League football. Eintracht Frankfurt could reduce the fee, as many clubs are unwilling to match the 100 million valuation of the player.
Hugo Ekitike is a player appreciated by the club and Vivell, who knows him well because he’s worked with Hoffenheim and Leipzig, so he’s always monitoring Bundesliga developments, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Manchester United’s stance on the future of Rasmus Hojlund and Andre Onana has been revealed after a poor season under new manager Ruben Amorim.
Manchester United aims to recruit new players who suit Ruben Amorim’s system after a tough six months in charge of the club, with Omar Barrada and Jason Wilcox providing him with only two defenders, Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven.
Ruben Amorim has been given a transfer budget of around 100 million euros plus for the summer transfer window. The plan at the start of the window was to trigger the release clauses of Matheus Cunha and Liam Delap.
However, the England international decided to join London side Chelsea and refused to return to Manchester due to the club’s lack of participation in the Champions League. Cunha has joined from Wolves, and Manchester United has turned its attention to Bryan Mebuemo.
Manchester United will need some outgoings before making more signings after the arrival of Matheus Cunha and the potential signing of Bryan Mebuemo.
There has been uncertainty around the future of Rasmus Hojlund and Andre Onana, and both have been linked with a move away this summer, with the club reportedly open to offers for any player.
Will Onana and Hojlund stay at Manchester United?
As it stands, Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlund are likely to stay at Manchester United beyond the summer, with multiple reports stating that Hojlund wants to remain at Old Trafford and prove himself.
Andre Onana also wants to stay at Manchester United, and head coach Ruben Amorim enjoys a warm working relationship with the goalkeeper, according to The Manchester Evening News.
Manchester United are not pushing Rasmus Hojlund out of the club despite interest from Serie A side Inter Milan, but they are open to offers for the Danish striker, who wants to stay at the club after a tough season.
Will Man United sign a goalkeeper and a striker?
Yes, Manchester United are expected to sign a new goalkeeper and a striker regardless of what happens with the future of Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlund.
The expectation is that second-choice goalkeeper Altay Bayindir will leave the club this summer in search of game time ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026, as he wants to be the number one for the Turkey national team.
The potential sale of Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Antony Dos Santos will provide the club with funds to invest in a striker and other positions.

Manchester United’s second offer for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo has now been submitted after the Premier League club rejected the first offer worth about 55 million pounds.
Following a disappointing season, Manchester United aims to act swiftly in the transfer market this summer and bring in players who align with the manager’s style of play.
Ruben Amorim took charge of Manchester United in November 2024, succeeding Dutch manager Erik ten Hag. Coming in mid-season without proper signings contributed to the failure last season.
Manchester United has already completed the signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves after they triggered his 62.5 million pounds release clause. He is expected to complete his move after the international break.
Manchester United placed second bid for Mbeumo
Manchester United have submitted an improved second offer worth more than 60 million pounds, according to multiple reports.
Reports have stated that Brentford wants a similar fee to what Manchester United paid for Matheus Cunha because of their age and performance in the Premier League last season.
Rob Dawson from ESPN has claimed that there is an expectation that a deal will soon be agreed between the two clubs.
One thing that has become very CLEAR in discussions about Mbeumo is that United does not want to get stuck in a cycle of continuous bidding. The club is determined not to be taken advantage of by players under the new regime, per MailSport.
Manchester United will walk away and will no longer overpay for players under the new regime. However, given Bryan Mbeumo’s desire to join Manchester United, it’s likely that he will be a Manchester United player.
