Manchester United have made an enquiry for a highly-rated Premier League midfielder as the club look to strengthen their midfield this summer. The midfield will be Manchester United’s top priority this summer as the club look to replace the outgoing Casemiro and add depth and quality to that part of the pitch. United have identified Elliot Anderson as their top target, but all signs point to the Nottingham Forest midfielder going to United’s local rivals, Manchester City.

Adoni Iraola has explained how Manchester United have improved under Michael Carrick ahead of United’s clash against Bournemouth on Friday night. Michael Carrick has done an incredible job so far since becoming Manchester United head coach in January. While Ruben Amorim opted for a system that brought him success in Portugal, but one that didn’t suit the current United squad, Carrick has opted for a more common-sense approach focused on getting players in their best positions.

Manchester United are facing an uphill battle in their attempts to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson this summer. Manchester United are preparing for a revamp of their midfield this summer, with at least two new arrivals expected in that position. It has been confirmed that Casemiro will leave the club in June upon the expiry of his contract, bringing his four-year stay at Old Trafford to an end.

Manchester United have turned their attention to midfielder Joao Gomes as part of the solution to the imminent Casemiro exit this summer. Despite the 2025/26 Premier League campaign being one of the worst in Wolves’ recent history, Joao Gomes has been a shining light for them, impressing even in the darkest of times.

It is increasingly likely that Manuel Ugarte will leave Manchester United this summer as the Uruguayan international is reportedly frustrated over his lack of playing time. In 2024, Manchester United completed the signing of Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain for a fee of £42 million plus bonuses. It was assumed that Ugarte would partner Kobbie Mainoo in the heart of midfield, but Erik ten Hag had other plans.

Jadon Sancho is set to hold talks for a reunion with one of his former clubs as he leaves as a free agent. Manchester United defeated Aston Villa 3-1 in the Premier League to reinforce the position in third as they go three points clear of Villa and five points clear of fifth-place Liverpool. While Victor Lindelof marked his return to Old Trafford in the Villa squad, Jadon Sancho was unable to play in the fixture due to being a United loanee.

Former Manchester United head coach Rúben Amorim is already in high demand just weeks after his shock departure from Old Trafford. Ex-Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim is back in the headlines as links begin to emerge after his career with the Reds came to a close just a few weeks ago. Amorim left Manchester less than two months ago after a relatively harsh press conference following United’s 1-1 draw against Premier League rivals Leeds United.

Manchester United are planning to sign a midfield replacement for the departing Casemiro in the summer transfer window and have identified a world-class talent as their target. Casemiro’s imminent departure from Old Trafford has become increasingly significant since the appointment of Michael Carrick as Manchester United’s interim boss. This is down to the Brazilian’s consistent solid performances and ability to provide a threat from set-pieces.

One of Manchester United’s latest transfer targets could affect Patrick Dorgu’s future in the side, despite his impressive form under Michael Carrick. Manchester United’s summer transfer plans won’t have been fully decided just yet, especially given they are yet to confirm who will be in charge for the 2026/27 season.

Manchester United have scouted a German starlet that Frankfurt are open to selling, who could arrive as competition for Luke Shaw and also as the long-term successor. Since signing in 2014, Luke Shaw has been the mainstay left-back for the majority of his time at Manchester United when fit. Even when the likes of Alex Telles or Tyrell Malacia were signed, or when the likes of Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Brandon Williams emerged from the Academy, Shaw’s performances elevated with competition.
