Manchester United Rumours
Use our rumours form to send us manchester united transfer rumours.

Had a bit of drive today and had Talksport on, not the most reputable but.
Semenyo- Utd, City and Chelsea apparently most advanced Liverpool lurking, Spurs and Arsenal out of it.
Talk of Neves in Jan for £15M or free at end of season. Confirmed Utd want a 6 and 8, elite level whatever that means, and they may wait to summer for 2 of Anderson, Wharton or Baleba.
Merry Christmas and equally all the best to those who celebrate something else or nothing at all.

Rumours circulating that Semenyo has rejected United in favour of city. No idea how legit those rumours are. But thought I’d share.

It comes from David Ornstein so that's almost as good as confirmed that he'll be going to City.
That's a shame as he'd have been a great signing for us, top quality, EPL proven and capable of playing right across the front line, probably even at wingback. He'd have added a lot to us.
But I can understand why he would choose City right now over us. Yes we might be an exciting club to join right now, but City are pretty much guaranteed to be challenging for all the major honours every year. While for City he could be the signing that swings the title race in their favour.
If he's going elsewhere then let's move on, we should only be signing players who really want to be here fighting for the badge and giving their all for us. Although I expect that significantly reduces the chances of us signing a player in January. I don't think the club will move for a player unless they are a long term target. No short term fixes under the new structure.

I'm not buying the Ruben Neves links either, I just think it's a case of it being a Portuguese midfielder who is looking to leave Saudi and wants to come back to the EPL and us having a Portuguese manager and needing a midfielder.
I just don't see him as a very good fit for an Amorim system, where the midfield needs to be physically strong and athletic due to them needing to cover a lot of ground. He's more of a deep-lying playmaker style of midfielder who needs an aggressive ball winner next to him. Which isn't something Amorim has typically used.
If we were to go for a midfielder in January I'd expect it to be more like someone similar to Conor Gallagher. A dynamic, athletic, box to box type player who can win the ball back and cover a lot of ground in midfield, as that is what we are lacking most. Gallagher would be ideal, and the club did try to get him on loan with an option to buy in the summer, so could go back with a similar deal in January.
That said I believe we will only go for long term targets, players we intend to have around for the next 3-4 years as key players. I can't see us doing any short term deals. So maybe not any loan deals, unless they truly intend to make it permanent in the summer.

Evening Ed,
How likely is a move for Semenyo in January? There is not usually much movement in January but it does seem like it's an opportunity that would be attractive to a few teams if it is true that there will be a fixed fee in place.
How he would fit in would be another discussion.

{Ed001's Note - I don't know of any likely attempt by United in January. I would think there are other priorities.}

16 Dec 2025 22:16:39
Ed001 Semenyo I'd assume would be targeted for wing back. Amorim has mentioned wanting an attacking left sided wing back several times.
2
17 Dec 2025 08:40:16
Can you please provide likely targets by name?
0
{Ed001's Note - Midfield: Gomes, Barrios, Anderson, Sadiki, Smit. Interest seems to have cooled in Baleba, no doubt down to his poor season.
Wing-back: I don't have any names but I know that Dorgu is seen as a disappointment and a replacement is being sought.
Centre-back: Murillo, Bastoni, Guehi, Diomande, still interest in Branthwaite though his injury history is likely to put paid to any move materialising, Scalvini, Lacroix and Silva.
I am sure there are probably more of interest, they are just who I know of that you have been watching.}

{Ed001's Note - very welcome mate. There is a fair bit of crossover luckily, so often players LFC watch are also being tracked by United. So I can sometimes get bits from people who are talking about Liverpool interest, because they will say what other teams they know of are keen.}

17 Dec 2025 13:45:13
Seems like with the interest in centre backs means Martinez and Shaw aren't seen as long terms solutions at the club with the amount of left sided players in the list.
I'd love to see Anderson in the midfield along side kobbie and Bruno if we got to 433.

I do know how likely a move for Semenyo would be in January for us, but I think he'd be a phenomenal signing if we could get him.
We lack real pace in behind when Mbeumo isn't playing, which is something Semenyo would bring.
He is also capable of playing right across the front line and more importantly I think he'd really suit playing in the wingback roles as Amorim ideally likes them to play. Effectively as wingers high and wide, but with a good work rate to help out defensively but they aren't supposed to be defenders.
If you look at the options we currently have in Amad, Dalot, Mazraoui, and Dorgu. The only one who has consistently performed well under Amorim is Amad, who is the only one who isn't naturally a defender. That's not a coincidence, it's due to the role they are supposed to play in this system. It naturally suits a more offensive player.
Amad on the right and Semenyo on the left, with Cunha, Sesko and Mbeumo in-between them would be utterly frightening. Although to balance that out we would need to have two proper defensive midfielders in the pivot. No Bruno Fernandes with that front line, but then would you need him with that front line? Probably not.
7
18 Dec 2025 19:35:20
Is playing on the left to Semenyo's strengths?
I think he is a quality player, but his best football comes from playing on the right. I really don't want to see players being bought and played out of position, or to accomodate other players.
0
{Ed001's Note - he can play all over the front line, he has played equally up front and on left and right.}
7
19 Dec 2025 07:25:58
I think he has scored more from the left than the right agree with ed he is equally effective from either side and gets played from both.
I think he is so good that he could probably play in goal and be effective.

Do. ypu think Semenyo is best suited to a 343 or 433?
0
{Ed001's Note - I think he can play either equally well - so long as he is at the top end. Playing wing-back would require him to learn a new role altogether and there is no telling how he would get on until he is tried in it.}

Ed, if you don't mind. Who do you think we should be looking at? I know that’s not an easy one to answer, but I’d be interested in what type of player/players you think we really need?
0
{Ed001's Note - your biggest priority, imo, is central midfield. Especially as you are often outnumbered in there due to the tactical shape you employ. So I would go for a Bruno Guimaraes type. I don't think he is going to leave Newcastle, but you need someone like him with drive and desire. Elliott Anderson seems the next best option. I do like Ederson of Atalanta too and Santos of Chelsea I think would grow into an excellent player given a run of games, rather than dicked about like he has been there. I still think Gomes or Andre would step up a level if rescued from Wolves and would both be excellent options. A player like Gallagher could be a useful option - if cheap - as a rotation option. His energy could help make up for the lack of numbers in there, but it would depend on who is next to him. You could get away with a Bruno Fernandes better with Gallagher there, as he wouldn't need to be creative and would do a lot of the legwork to allow the Portugese to play more. The two that have particularly impressed me this season are Miley and Sadiki, though Miley has been playing right-back lately, he has still been a standout for the Toon. Sadiki just always impresses me.
Wing-back is a difficult one, really depends how attacking Amorim wants to go. It is a left sided one you need imo, as Dorgu is dreadful. The problem is that there are so few left-sided options, which is why Citeh ended up with the entirely average Ait-Nouri. Maatsen would be good if he could be prized away from Villa. Lewis-Skelly would be good too - might be worth an ask as he is not getting much game time this season.
Centre-back, the obvious are ones like Schlotterbeck, Murillo and Bastoni. Esteve of Burnley has been impressive this season, I have to say. He might be worth a look at.}

Few articles on Twitter claiming the club did want Bruno to go in the summer, but didn't have the stomach for the decision. Seems to be his own words.
Bit of a difference from the view at the time that they'd left it totally up to him.
0
16 Dec 2025 13:53:14
It would always look better for the club if Bruno had said 'Yes, I want to leave', rather than for the club to accept an offer and try push him out.
ED002, did say that runo had previously turned down a January transfer off from SA. Perhaps this summer Bruno will move.
One thing is certain, he is clearly miffed at the situation. Could he be angling for a move in January now? Doubtful, yes possible.
3
16 Dec 2025 15:39:35
I put a post in reply to a thread on the banter page explaining why I think he’s got to go. We need to cash in, his stock is still high as his stats are good, it’s a WC year and it’s makes sense for Saudi to want him.
I have no idea of his net book value but I would assume it’s zero as he’s fulfilled his first contract.
Sell him and spend whatever it takes on Anderson. That’s the RCM position sorted along with part of the midfield opposition runners issue that’s constantly costing us.
We can then sort the LCM position either in the summer or pull the cash forward and buy someone else in Jan (Baleba, Stiller or Wharton) . I’d love to see Anderson and Wharton together in our midfield, two prem proven players who cover good amounts of ground with slightly different but complementary attributes.
0
16 Dec 2025 16:39:15
Assuming this is actually coming from Fernandes I find it odd, the fact he has done it and the timing.
As club captain this is not something I would expect within the season
Whether something has gone on behind the scenes and he is now looking for an exit in January. just all very odd and not sure the hierarchy will be pleased.

16 Dec 2025 16:55:54
I’d like to see Bruno with Wharton and Anderson as a midfield. Elite.
1
16 Dec 2025 17:19:02
Get rid and take the 57 million, he's going to be nearly 32 by the start of next season.
Buy two proper central midfielders that can actually play there.
We have more than enough creativity in the team now with Mount, Amad, Mbembo and Cunha.
3
16 Dec 2025 22:33:19
Do we though, Simo?
I'd say Bruno probably has more assists than those four combined, this season. Probably more goals than two or three of them put together as well.
2
17 Dec 2025 01:26:41
I hear the argument about selling Bruno at his peak but in terms of creativity Wharton and/or Anderson are nowhere near his level. yet
I remember Madrid fans calling for Modric to leave but he stayed four more years and played at a very high level and it might be argued that they have not found a better replacement.
Let his value run down I don't care. The Board should find a way to finance transfers of midfielders coming in without selling our best asset
I want Bruno to stay. Get better midfielders to defend and work alongside him and let him do his best work. attacking the opposition.
7
18 Dec 2025 16:02:33
I love Bruno and think he's been our best player of the last decade by some distance.
Yet it's as obvious as the sun in the sky on a cloudless day that he doesn't naturally fit into this team. While his age means that he isn't someone to build around, and you don't get the best out of him unless you build around him.
The problem is that he was still by some margin our best player last season. It'd be a brave decision to force him out at the start of a rebuild and with no guarantees that you could adequately replace him. So I understand why the club left the decision up to him, that way at least they mitigate the backlash if things don't work out immediately.
Yet forcing him out last summer would probably have been the best decision. Him gone for a large fee, a fee that could have been spent on Baleba or someone similar would have meant we had a more balanced team this season and would probably have moved us further along the rebuild. But that's the benefit of hindsight.
If I was the club I'd be looking to force the issue this summer if he isn't interested in moving under his own volition. Because ultimately this teams ability to grow and adapt is being restricted by his presence.
4
19 Dec 2025 17:24:34
I keep hearing that we need to sell Bruno to find midfielders, I think we need to buy midfielders to release Bruno up into his favoured position.
He is not a central midfielder.
Has he done a job, yes.
Could he do better, yes
Has he been at fault for a number of goals against, yes
I'd be selling the likes of Ugarte before Bruno. Upgrade the stock we already have.
1
20 Dec 2025 14:09:38
Jimbob, I don't think selling Bruno is about raising funds, although that would be useful.
The issue with Bruno is that he isn't a natural fit in any position in this team under Amorim.
The inside forwards are typically players who progress the ball through running with it, that isn't something Bruno is particularly good at.
While the midfielders tend to be more athletic, water carrier types who plug holes and again carry the ball through lines of pressure before making a simple pass. Again that isn't Bruno's strength.
To get the best out of Bruno you give him a free role higher up the pitch. You let him drift into pockets of space and you have the rest of the team adapt around him to plug those gaps.
The problem is that you can't afford to build around one player if you want to compete for major honours, and you definitely can't do that when that player is over 30 and could start to decline soon.
So we are left with a player who doesn't have a natural position within the team, but he is still our best player and captain. Making it virtually impossible to drop him.
While Amorim is our manager and Bruno is still in the squad we will have to choose between two poor options.
1. Drop him and deal with the public and media backlash that will ensure simply because we are Manchester United so everything gets blown out of proportion.
2. Try and crowbar him into the team by playing him in a compromise position. Knowing full well that we won't get the best out of him, and that the team will have a flaw that cannot be mitigated.
Which brings us back to the simple solution, move on a player whose best days are behind him and allow the team to evolve and grow.
We have to remember that players come and go, they are and never can be more important than the team as a whole.
Most of the fans who don't want to see Bruno leave are the same ones complaining that Mainoo isn't getting enough football. Hopefully they can step back and see the irony of holding both of those opinions at the same time. Now I'm not saying Bruno leaving means Mainoo suddenly gets in the team, but it certainly opens the door a little more. While Mainoo isn't a perfect fit for what Amorim wants he is still a more natural fit than Bruno both in midfield and in the more advanced positions.
I'll be sad to see Bruno leave, but if we are to fully embrace moving on and becoming a serious title challenger again then it's something that will have to happen sooner or later.
2
23 Dec 2025 07:45:57
I take your points Shappy, however, we will be weaker without Bruno.
Having him floating across the front, much like Mbeumo and Cunha are capable of doing makes a lot of sense. His ability to create something out of nothing is worth keeping him around. Mount can do the same, as can Zirkzee.
That's 5 into 2 positions, assuming we don't invest further in these roles or promote from youth.
Whilst Bruno and Casemiro have done okay in the middle, they are without a doubt, a weakness.
I am in two minds though as you quite rightly state he is going to be 32 soon and is now if course injured. Will that continue to be a persistent injury, who knows. Would having him in the ranks be positive or negative, especially if he is sidelined by say a pairing of Anderson/Kone and Mainoo/Wharton. Or would his experience as a squad player be worth keeping him.
This is all without mentioning his salary and how that would assist if it was off our books.

I believe there has been talk of a cut price deal for Joao Gomes at Wolves. He is crucial but Wolves may take £40m or do and bank for the Championship next season.
1
11 Dec 2025 21:18:17
Good player. Likely a longer term squad option but much better suited than Ugarte.
4
14 Dec 2025 10:45:48
He'd be a great option in January, which is always a difficult market to make good signings who can have an immediate impact.
Signing players in January is pretty much pointless unless they will have an impact in the second half of the season, as you tend to pay a premium and if they won't make any difference to the team until next season then you're probably better off waiting until the summer when you can probably get them on a better deal. The only other reason to do a deal in January is if it allows you to get the jump on other clubs who'll be competing to sign the same player in the summer.
Because of that if you are going to sign a player in January then it's better to sign players already playing in the EPL or who have had a successful spell in the league in the past.
João Gomes is an ideal January signing as he fits the profile of what we desperately need and he is proven in the EPL. While he might be available for a reasonable fee given Wolves current situation.
The other player who we should look at in January is Semenyo. Again EPL proven, and is the ideal profile of player for what we need. A creative attack minded player who is capable of playing across the front line and even as a wingback in our system. He'd offer great coverage while Amad and Mbeumo are off at the AFCON and the competition we need once they are back. He shares a lot of qualities with Mbeumo (quick and the threat in behind, a goal scoring threat, with a high work rate and ability to press from the front) . He is also rumoured to have a fixed fee in January and he is a player the club chased in the summer so we know they have had a strong interest in him before.
Those are the kind of players we should be looking at in January as we could do with a boost this winter as the league is far more open than many would have expected. A couple of good signings could be the difference between UCL or no European football at all, as it looks like the difference between 4th and 9th will be only a few points come the end of the season.
From watching us this season we started better than we were given credit for, then things started to click into place. Our underlying numbers are great, but the performances can be a little patchy and we have a tendency to defend well for the most part but we do give away 1 or 2 high quality chances a game which is costing us.
In recent weeks I feel like a combination of two things have seen us drop points where we should have won games (West Ham, Everton, Forest and Spurs are all games that we should have won based both on the chances created, and on balance of play) .
Yet we dropped 9 points in those games. For me the reasons for that is firstly, we have become a little too predictable in attack, our right hand side far outweighs the threat of our left and teams have made sure to focus more on denying us space down the right. Which has blunted our attack and seen us create fewer really high quality chances.
The other issue is that the squad doesn't have the depth needed to freshen things up or to make any positive changes. We have seen fans and pundits complain about the managers subs, but in truth when looking at the bench there really isn't much else he could do. The only sub I feel he has really made a mistake with was not bringing on Lacey when either 3-1 or 4-1 up against Wolves. That would have been the ideal time to give him 10 minutes and see how he does ahead of us losing both Amad and Mbeumo to the AFCON. Other than that though I can't really fault his subs.
Yeah we need to freshen things up in midfield, but Casemiro doesn't have the legs to stay on beyond 70 minutes, and the Mainoo/Bruno midfield combination has been poor every time we've seen them play together. Leaving the options as either just bring Ugarte on for Casemiro (which isn't ideal as they are two very different types of defensive midfielders) or bringing both Ugarte and Mainoo on together and either taking Bruno off as well or pushing him higher up the pitch.
We simply lack the right balance of options in midfield. Someone like João Gomes would be perfect as he can either come in for Casemiro or play alongside him. He'd pair equally as well with Bruno or Mainoo as well.
I'm not going to go as far as saying we need to make January signings, but I do think that this year there is an opportunity to maybe make one or two big January signings for reasonable fees. Players who can come in and make in immediate impact and provide the team exactly what we need, in a season that is very open. Meaning we could take advantage of that and maybe jump back into the UCL which could accelerate our rebuild both in terms of money and in terms of prestige when it comes to competing for top players next summer.

My concern with Joao Gomes is, would you consider him a starter for a team wanting to constantly push for top 4 and even mount a title challenge? Buying Gomes in Jan, does it effect our business in the summer?
If for instance we could get Joao Gomes for circa £30m in Jan and still go after Anderson and Wharton in the summer I'd say go for it. However, if we spend the money now and it limits what we can do in the summer, I'd say wait.
Joao Gomes would improve us, based on our current options. He's tenacious and covers a lot of ground. I just think there are better options potentially avaliable in the summer.

That team looks poor in 3421 but I’d say looks decent in a 433.

Never in doubt 🤣🤣 where didthat second half performance come from? Brilliant result after Mondays shambles.

Feels much better after the win. Second half was much better but the issues with CM and the left side remain. Licha back could be huge and Mazraoui probably starts now before Yoro. A left side with Licha, Shaw and Cunha has enough quality I think. Others here I know don't believe Shaw can handle LWB but 60 minutes from him with Dorgu/ Dalot playing the remainder would be a significant improvement.
We're not particularly fluid but mostly the upward trend from last year is clear. Today was another game we'd have lost last year.

We need to grind out results. This match last year, would have resulted in a loss for Utd.
I do believe that when Licha is fully fit and capable of playing 90 mins, that Shaw should play LWB. Dorgu and Dalot haven't impressed. I thought that Malacia might even be given a chance. It appears he is just making up the numbers.

The work rate in the aecond half was excellent. We outfought Palace and that was tremendous to see.

I think some of our season ticket holders should be vetted for suitability and have their tickets revoked. #getridoftheantifansgivetheirseattoatourist.

Outfought a team that played less than 72 hours earlier and your bragging about that, I know we have to be grateful for small mercies but that’s pushing it… we won let’s just take that not start saying we were excellent.

Difficult one Ken. Whilst in principal I agree, I was a season ticket holder for 30 years. For 12 years of that I was in the armed forces. Whilst based in UK I was there every week. But for 5 years I was based overseas. Some of that was in Europe so made efforts to get back every now and then. However some of it was in I was unable to travel so “sold” my tickets out of the folder at the Trafford Arms.
That gave me some return on my season ticket and meant that I could retain it throughout that period. I gave it up in 2005 after living in Oz as it was clear I would not be returning permanently. I am now happy that some do sell their tickets and know I can go to the Trafford Arms and get a ticket if required.

Mokio from Ajax.
Sounds like something is happening there. 17 year old, left footed DM, CM, LB. £25M region.
Liverpool and Newcastle reported to have stepped back.
Looks like good business and a solid rumour to me.
I’m sure Ronnie will be happy wherever he is.

£25m for a 17 year old from a mid level Dutch team who isn't going to solve any of our current issues? It could be good long term business but could equally well be a bust.

Probably no better than what we already have trying to break through in to the first team.
We need players that are prem league proven and are ready to go.
Especially in the centre of midfield.
We couldn't even cope with a mid table Everton team who were down to 10 men.

27 Nov 2025 20:31:13
You mean the 10 men Everton team that had 2 shots, one of which was on target and which got a deflection to beat the goalkeeper?
2
27 Nov 2025 23:41:59
What deflection?
Did the ball go in the net?
What was the final score?
The only true stat that counts. The rest is just subjective.

Best cut back on the spending if this article is anything to go by!
The Guardian revealed earlier this year that two leading credit ratings agencies had raised red flags over the Ineos Group, which could lead to its debt pile climbing to almost €12bn (£10bn) this year.
Oh dear!

Shea Lacey apparently with the squad tonight.

Been quite a bit of talk that RA has been impressed by his performances this season and that he was close to a call up.
Think he may well get an opportunity come Afcon time, he play's right side so could get a chance to see if he can step up and maybe getting him in the first team squad now is a precursor to this.
Seen him a few times this season and he has looked pretty impressive, would really like to see him show what he can do. Would not be surprised to see Jack Fletcher also get a call up, his performances have been good as well.

Pointless as this idiot of a coach won't play him.3 more years of this dross, oh what joy.

Should have stayed at home and gone to bed on time lol.

24 Nov 2025 23:40:59
When we laboured without ever looking likely to score it does make you wonder why he was on the bench. It seems that RA is risk averse.

Talks of Utd going for Joao Gomes in the January window, £44m is the fee mentioned. Good addition? Anybody seen him play more than I have? If so, how good is he?

Very good player (Ed001 agrees too) . He is a good all rounded midfielder with a lot of energy and stamina. I don't want him instead for say Anderson but if we intent to buy three cms and Gomez is one of them i would be happy.

23 Nov 2025 15:30:18
He's very good. As with what Heaven said, if he's one of 2 or 3 CM additions in the next couple of windows I'd be thrilled.

23 Nov 2025 21:56:03
He'd be a great signing, can play both the 6 or 8, mobile, energetic, physically commanding, and strong defensively/winning the ball back.
We need at least two midfield signings by the start of next season. João Gomes makes a lot of sense, especially if we then went on to sign Anderson who'd pair really well with him.

24 Nov 2025 10:21:05
He should give us what we expect from Ugarte and help close our games.
2
24 Nov 2025 23:43:02
Agree but I don't think he is great player. Better than we have but nowhere near elite level. I suppose that's where we are but it's depressing when you recall the calibre of top top midfielders we used to have.

Matheus Cunha was due to switch the Christmas lights on tonight, in Altrincham, but the council have issued a statement to the effect he will not be doing so, due to the fact he had been involved in an accident at training today.
The club are yet to make any statement, but hopefully it's not to serious an issue. Probably Mount would play on Monday if he can't make it. Don't want to start getting injuries with Afcon on the horizon.

Sully is investigating, he will provide an update if he can find anything out apparently.
