Overview
- Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo joined United on combined fees exceeding £127.5 million, marking the first acquisition of two Premier League forwards from domestic rivals in a single window since 2004.
- A 32-man squad for the pre-season US tour was named, including the new forwards and excluding Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony, Tyrell Malacia and Marcus Rashford, with Harry Maguire delayed due to a personal matter.
- Manchester United formalized a season-long loan of Marcus Rashford to Barcelona with a £26 million purchase option, freeing up significant wage space under Financial Fair Play constraints.
- Goalkeeper André Onana traveled to join the tour as he recovers from a hamstring injury and Lisandro Martínez flew out to continue his knee rehabilitation on tour.
- Manager Ruben Amorim and the board remain in the market for a goalkeeper, a defensive midfielder and a proven centre-forward before the transfer window shuts.
