Man United Target Forest’s Murillo as Maguire Successor in Summer Plans

Forest’s 2029 contract puts them in a strong position to resist bids.

Overview

  • United have placed the 23-year-old on their summer shortlist to replace out-of-contract Harry Maguire, according to recent reports.
  • Murillo is said to be open to a move despite signing a four-and-a-half-year extension in January 2025 that ties him to Forest until 2029.
  • No formal bids have been reported, with suggestions United will likely wait until the end of the season to act.
  • Barcelona and AC Milan have been linked, adding competition for a left-footed centre-back who matches United’s recruitment profile.
  • Forest’s league struggles and United’s chances of European qualification are viewed as variables that could shape any transfer outcome.
