There are only a few weeks left until the start of the 2023-2024 season. English club Manchester United are heavily preparing themselves for the new season. After completing the signing of Mason Mount and Andre Onana, Manchester United are now focusing on signing a striker, particularly, Rasmus Hojlund. They are also in talks with Sofiyan Amrabat.
However, the Red Devils are also working on offloading some players in this transfer window. Today, we will talk about the latest transfer updates for Manchester United.
Outgoings
Over the past few seasons, Manchester United couldn’t sell players. But Erik Ten Hag has been very clear about his plan. He doesn’t want players who are not in his plans for the upcoming season.
The offloading process started with terminating the contract with Cristiano Ronaldo. But the most surprising thing is that Man United let De Gea leave for free! However, the club has already replaced De Gea’s position by bringing in Andre Onana.
Manchester United are also in contact with other clubs in order to sell some players. The list of Man United’s outgoings includes Fred, Donny Van De Beek, and Harry Maguire.
Fred
Brazil midfielder Fred has been linked with Galatasaray. Since Man United signed Mason Mount, Fred believes he would not get enough game time at Man United. Moreover, Man United need to sell players to increase their ability of spending in this summer transfer window. Therefore, Fred is likely to leave the Red Devils in the coming days.
Donny Van De Beek
La Liga side Real Sociedad are interested in signing Donny Van de Beek. Man United signed Donny Van De Beek back in 2020 for £40m with lots of expectations. Unfortunately, the player had been out of the squad for a long time and couldn’t show his class for Manchester United. Donny Van de Beek is now a top priority for Real Sociedad. Talks are going on between the clubs.
Harry Maguire
Harry Maguire has already lost the captaincy. His future at Man United is uncertain as Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez have become the regular starters.
However, West Ham United want to sign Maguire. They made an official bid for the former captain of Manchester United. Man United turned down their offer of £20m as they want at least £40m.
Incomings
Rasmus Hojlund
Manchester United are getting closer to signing the Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund. After getting rejected by Atalanta, Manchester United had another round of talks last night with the Italian club regarding the transfer of Hojlund.
According to the reports, Man United improved their offer. The deal is now worth more than €60m. However, Atalanata’s asking price is €70m guaranteed fee plus add-ons.
Paris Saint-Germain tried to HIJACK Hojlund. They offered Atalanta €50m before Man United’s second bid. But Rasmus Hojlund has been very clear. He only wants Manchester United. He is now pushing the club to join Manchester United.
Sofiyan Amrabat
Manchester United are also in talks with Sofiyan Amrabat. But it depends on selling Fred and Donny Van De Beek. Sofian Amrabat has already agreed on the personal terms with Man United. However, it will take time to sign Sofiyan Amrabat.
