Manchester United are facing an important transfer window as manager Michael Carrick prepares to build on his early success at Old Trafford. The club will want to improve on last season’s third-place finish and also make an impact upon their return to the Champions League.
Brazilian midfielder Ederson is set to join United from Atalanta after striking an early deal for the 26-year-old. However, more recruits are expected as the club look to replace the outgoing Casemiro and bolster their midfield options.
United reportedly face competition from Tottenham Hotspur in their pursuit of West Ham star Mateus Fernandes. The Portugal international is one of several players to be linked with a move to Old Trafford, alongside Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson and Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali.
In terms of outgoings, goalkeeper Andre Onana is reportedly nearing an exit after spending last season out on loan. Here, Mirror Football looks at some of the biggest stories surrounding United.

United could face a twist in their hopes of signing West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes. The Portugal international is reportedly valued at £80 million by the Hammers.
The Sun reports that Tottenham are “prepared to offer more” than United in terms of wages. Roberto De Zerbi’s side finished 17th last season but are claimed to be ready to pay bigger salaries for their marquee targets.
Unlike Spurs, United can offer Fernandes the chance to play in the Champions League next season. However, it remains to be seen whether Tottenham’s willingness to pay higher wages will impact United’s transfer plans.
Southampton are set to receive 15 per cent of any potential transfer fee for Fernandes after selling him for £38m last year. The midfielder was subsequently unable to help West Ham avoid relegation, scoring three goals and assisting four across 36 league games.

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana is reportedly one step closer to sealing a move away from the club. The 30-year-old joined United from Inter Milan in 2023 but spent last season on loan at Trabzonspor.
Turkish outlet A Spor claims that Onana has “accepted all of Trabzonspor’s financial demands”. It is reported that the Cameroon international is set to return to the club in another loan move.
Onana lost his place as United’s first-choice last term, with new signing Senne Lammens taking his spot. The former Ajax star subsequently made 33 appearances for Trabzonspor, where he won the Turkish Cup.
