Manchester United’s transfer activity is heating up as manager Ruben Amorim looks to further reshape his squad ahead of the new season.
Having already secured the signing of Matheus Cunha and missed out on Liam Delap, who opted for Chelsea, the Red Devils remain active in the hunt for fresh attacking reinforcements.
With uncertainty around Jadon Sancho’s future and the expected departure of Antony, United are prioritising dynamic wide players who can add flair and creativity in the final third.

One of the names now attracting serious interest from Old Trafford is a rising Belgian talent currently shining in Ligue 1.
Malick Fofana, Olympique Lyonnais’ promising 20-year-old winger, has emerged as a key target for Manchester United — but they won’t be alone in the race.
Both United and Liverpool have shown strong interest in the young forward, while Chelsea and Nottingham Forest are also monitoring his situation.
Chelsea have already made initial contact, holding informal talks over a potential deal.
Malick Fofana is seen as one of Lyon’s most valuable assets and, given the club’s ongoing financial difficulties, he has been earmarked for a potential summer sale.

According to L’Equipe, Lyon are demanding €50 million for the winger — a figure that has not deterred Europe’s elite, especially after Rayan Cherki’s €40m move to Manchester City earlier this month set the tone for high-value exits from the French club.
Liverpool have reportedly gone one step further than their rivals by speaking to Fofana’s new representatives, underlining their intent to push forward with a bid.
United, however, remain firmly in the frame and are keeping close tabs on developments, especially as the player’s profile aligns with Amorim’s strategy of recruiting young, high-ceiling attackers.
Nottingham Forest are also credited with interest, but sources close to the situation suggest they may struggle to compete due to their limited pulling power compared to the other suitors.
With Lyon refusing to lower their €50m asking price, the stage is set for a full-scale Premier League bidding war — and Manchester United are right in the thick of it.
