According to BBC (quoted from FootballTransfers), Man Utd are considering recruiting midfielder Morten Hjulmand from Sporting Lisbon.

Club sources at Paris Saint-Germain say no offers have been made for Manuel Ugarte and Man Utd are currently unwilling to meet their €70m asking price for the midfielder.

Morten Hjulmand is considered less aggressive than Ugarte and is appreciated for his discipline , good positional sense, and experience in a possession-based team.

Morten Hjulmand is an interesting signing that Man Utd are pursuing.

At the same time, this is a cheaper option than Youssouf Fofana. Monaco have told Man Utd they need to pay €35m to sign him and the Frenchman is being seriously considered. Midfielder Hjulmand is currently under contract with Sporting Lisbon until 2028.

In addition to midfield, Man Utd are also looking to strengthen the left-back position. Some reports say Erik Ten Hag has set his sights on Bayern Munich defender Noussair Mazraoui. The player would cost just 20 million euros.

Manchester United plans to recruit Everton’s ‘prodigy’ for the summer transfer season of 2025

According to Daily Mail, Manchester United will soon finalize its transfer plan for the summer of 2025.

The red carpet was rolled out for 18-year-old wonderkid Leny Yoro when he completed a £59m move from Lille earlier this summer, but the young centre-back was injured in pre-season and will need surgery and will be sidelined for the next three months.

Currently, Man Utd’s squad is still in the process of being completed. And the next goal of the Old Trafford club is still to upgrade the defense.

According to the Daily Mail, Man Utd are still interested in Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite. Man United rate the young defender highly and reports say they could make a move if The Toffees lower their £70m valuation.

The source confirmed that Man Utd will not recruit Branthwaite in January 2025. Instead, they identified Branthwaite as the number one deal in the summer of 2025.

On the contrary, Man Utd will let Victor Lindelof go to clear the way for Branthwaite . In fact, this young midfielder wants to come to Old Trafford in the summer of 2023, but is hindered by Everton’s high price tag.

Man United ready to spend €60 million to sign Atalanta ‘superstar’

According to Teamtalk, Man United are ready to make a new offer to sign midfielder Ederson from Atalanta.

Man United spent a lot of money to bring Manuel Ugarte to the club in the summer of 2024. However, the Uruguayan player is only considered phase one of the midfield rebuild that Dan Ashworth wants to carry out.

Man United step up recruitment of Ederson.

According to TEAMtalk, Man United will plan to sell Casemiro in the near future. And they have also targeted a younger, stronger player who can replace the former Real Madrid star, Ederson .

The 25-year-old remains on the Red Devils’ radar after they missed out on him in the summer of 2024. Ederson’s fine performance in midweek’s Champions League clash with Arsenal has only reinforced Ashworth’s desire to sign him.

According to reports, Man United will need to spend at least 50 million euros to convince Atalanta to sell Ederson and may even have to pay a fee closer to 60 million euros if they want to own the Brazilian star in January . However, competition for Ederson’s services will be fierce with Newcastle, Barcelona and Inter Milan all in the race.
