Overview
- Transfer reporting indicates Manchester United expect to add at least one midfielder in 2026, with names such as Conor Gallagher, Angelo Stiller, Carlos Baleba, Elliot Anderson, Adam Wharton and Joao Gomes under consideration.
- Sky Sports reports United are not planning proactive January signings, though the club could act if a long-term target becomes available during the window.
- Benjamin Sesko sustained a knee problem in the 2-2 draw at Tottenham, has withdrawn from Slovenia duty and will be assessed at Carrington, with local reports suggesting optimism that it is not a long-term issue.
- Casemiro’s contract runs to 2026 with a club option, and multiple outlets say any extension would hinge on a pay reduction as Ruben Amorim publicly signals he wants to keep the midfielder.
- A reduced group of around 11 first-team players will train at Carrington during the international break, including Sesko and Harry Maguire, while Casemiro has linked up with Brazil, indicating his knock was minor.
