Overview

• United have opened talks with free agent Dominic Calvert-Lewin, viewing him as a cost-efficient third or fourth striker with appearance-based bonus incentives.
• Matheus Cunha’s £62.5 million move from Wolves has been finalized, adding a marquee attacking option to the squad.
• Manchester United have made offers for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo but face a £65 million valuation that could delay the transfer.
• Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund have been listed for sale to generate funds and comply with FFP regulations.
• The summer rebuild follows a projected £100 million Champions League revenue shortfall and the club’s worst league finish since 1973–74, prompting a leaner squad model.
