Manchester United have started arguably the most pivotal transfer window in their modern history as INEOS have taken control of football operations at Old Trafford.

Article continues under the video

With a new structure above manager Erik ten Hag, the Red Devils have already seen significant changes this summer.

The Dutchman survived a two-week end-of-season review from the higher-ups at the club so he will be in charge of the team on the opening game of the 2024/25 Premier League campaign.

He has even signed a contract extension at Old Trafford after guiding the club to FA Cup glory in May.

Off the pitch, there is now great hope with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS looking to oversee drastic improvement on the pitch following their arrival earlier this year.

No more Ed Woodward, and hopefully a structure which can set up the club for future success. Expect many players to leave and several to come in during the summer transfer window.

Our live Man Utd transfer blog brings you all the latest news surrounding the Red Devils, including exclusives from our own reporters as well as checking out what the other big names are saying (including the likes of Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein).

There are expected to be many moves this summer with players coming and going, and the Old Trafford rumour mill is already in full swing.

At least SIX names to go

The battle for Rodrygo

Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea all want to sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid.

The Brazilian has developed into a key player for Los Blancos over the years, but the forward line at the club has been left unbalanced following the arrival of Kylian Mbappe.

Madrid may look to sell Rodrygo for €100 million this summer to fund the acquisition of a new midfield playmaker. (Todo Fichajes)

 

Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool want Dembele

Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool are all considering a bid for Ousmane Dembele this summer.

The Paris Saint-Germain winger is enjoying the most influential season of his career and has been a key factor in the club reaching the semi-final of the Champions League, while Ligue 1 has already been sewn up.

He has a current ETV of €67.6m, though PSG would want significantly more as a transfer fee. (Caught Offside)

United REALLY won't give this up

Matheus Cunha 'LOVES' Man Utd

Matheus Cunha reportedly loves Man Utd and is increasingly keen to move to Old Trafford.

The Brazilian has a reported release clause of €78 million which the Red Devils could trigger, though their financial state may depend on qualification to the Champions League.

A report from Sky Sports states: “Cunha thinks United are one of the biggest clubs in the world and their current Premier League position - they are currently one place above Wolves in 14th - would not put him off a potential move to Old Trafford.”

United want BOTH Delap and Matheus Cunha

Man Utd don't view Matheus Cunha as their new starting centre-forward next season as they would rather utilise him as a number 10.

For the centre-forward role, their number one target remains Liam Delap, according to Ben Jacobs.

Delap has a £30 million release clause that can be triggered once Ipswich are relegated at the end of the season.

But by WHO....?

Cunha talks progressing

Man Utd are in talks to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves.

The Red Devils are desperate to recruit more firepower in the final third and have identified the Brazilian as a prime target.

He has a release clause of €73 million but Man Utd's poor financial situation means that they may not be able to trigger a deal for that price. Fabrizio Romano, however, reports they are leading the race for his signature.

Deal agreed?

United and Chelsea on high alert as Maignan talks stall

Chelsea and Manchester United have been put on high alert as Mike Maignan's contract talks with Milan have hit a wall.

The Frenchman is recognised as one of the best goalkeepers in Europe and was previously in talks to extend his stay at San Siro, though those talks have since stalled.

Both Chelsea and United are on the lookout for a new keeper this summer and €40 million could be enough to secure a deal. (Caught Offside)

Rashford's DREAM move

Marcus Rashford dreams of a move to Barcelona this summer.

The England international is currently on loan at Aston Villa from Man Utd and it is believed that he doesn't have a future at Old Trafford under Ruben Amorim.

Though a move to Barca is extremely unlikely due to the club's financial woes, Camp Nou is Rashford's number one destination of choice. (talkSPORT)

Offensive rebuild required

A transfer budget gamechanger for Man Utd

The level of spending and the level of player brought into Man Utd this summer will depend on whether the club qualifies for the Champions League, according to Ruben Amorim.

Ahead of the Europa League fixture against Lyon on Thursday, he was asked about his transfer window plans. He responded: “It is more about the budget.That is important when you are planning the next season. Champions League can change everything.”

United can only qualify for the Champions League if they win the Europa League.

Even a save specialist would be nice
