Manchester United are continuing to try and sign top talent this summer as they look to rebuild the club to bounce back from their recent slump.
The Red Devils have experienced back-to-back worst Premier League results on record, coming 8th and then 15th as they missed out on European football this season.
As such, the Manchester United hierarchy are pushing for intelligent recruitment with both their senior and academy sides to not only help the club improve immediately, but also to ensure it’s lasting improvement with the Red Devils of tomorrow.
Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo have been brought in as proven Premier League talents, with Benjamin Sesko being a talented striker who’s excelled in the Bundesliga.
However, alongside them the likes of Enzo Kana-Biyik, Harley Emsden-James and Diego Leon have also been recruited as talented teenagers with untapped potential.
Now, Polish reported Sebastian Staszewski has reported that joining the list of impressive youngsters that United are scouting is centre-back Bright Ede.

The 18-year-old has come through the Motor Lublin youth sides to join the senior squad back in January 2025.
Since then, Ede has made eight appearances for the Polish side, even grabbing his first professional goal against Stal Mielec at the end of March in his debut for the club.
Now, Staszewski has reported that United and an unnamed Serie A side are joining the race for Bright Ede who had previously been targeted by Chelsea and Benfica.
It’s understood that the two sides have taken a step back from their pursuits of the youngster, leaving the door open for United and the Italian club who have already enquired about Ede.
Lublin are reportedly wanting £7.4 million (€8.5 million) plus bonuses for their talented defender, however it’s unknown as of yet what United make of this valuation.
🆕🚨Temat transferu Brighta Ede z @MotorLublin stoi w miejscu. W ostatnich tygodniach zarówno Chelsea jak i Benfica właściwie zawiesiły rozmowy na ten temat. W grze zostają @ManUtd i jeden klub z Włoch, który niedawno wysłał zapytanie. Mowa o kwocie 8,5 mln euro plus bonusy.
