Manchester United appear to be looking at Nottingham Forest to address several squad concerns. At the top of their wishlist is Forest’s all-action midfielder Elliot Anderson, who is the subject of a battle between United and Manchester City. Recently, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming Anderson favours a move to Old Trafford over the Etihad. However, whether United would be able to breach the £100m-mark to get the deal over the line remains to be seen. Manchester United make move for Neco Williams The BBC are now reporting that Manchester United are among a host of clubs monitoring Nottingham Forest full-back Neco Williams. It is claimed United, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Everton have all made “discreet enquiries” to understand Williams’ situation heading into the summer. The Red Devils and the Toffees’ interests, in particular, are going to raise some eyebrows, given Williams graduated from Liverpool’s academy and featured for the senior side before moving to Nottingham in a £12m deal. However, Forest are keen on pouring cold water on suggestions of an exit. It is understood they have opened talks with Williams over a contract extension amid increasing noise. The 25-year-old Wales international has been a key player for Forest, impressing on both flanks. He has made 51 appearances across all competitions, with the majority of his playing time coming as a left-back. The 6ft tall defender also wore the captain’s armband recently, underlining his growing reputation at the City Ground. Manchester United linked with Murillo It has been previously reported that Forest central defender Murillo has emerged as a genuine target for United, due to his “perfect blend” of youth and Premier League experience. The Brazilian could prove to be a solid replacement for the injury- and error-prone Lisandro Martinez. Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is known for being a difficult negotiator. As such, it would be difficult for United to secure the services of any Forest star, let alone all three, if the Nottingham-based outfit avoid the drop to the Championship.

Key details of United’s contract offer to Carrick emerge as he closes in on permanent job – report
As Michael Carrick closes in on the permanent Manchester United position, the length of his new contract has been revealed. Carrick set for hotseat United have enjoyed a superb run of form since Carrick was named Ruben Amorim’s temporary replacement at the start of the year. He has taken charge of 15 games, winning 10, drawing three and losing just two. United need just a point this weekend against Nottingham Forest to mathematically guarantee themselves to finish in third place. Carrick already wrapped up Champions League qualification, achieving this feat when he masterminded a brilliant 3-2 victory over Liverpool. While Carrick has consistently been named as the frontrunner for the job, United have always made it clear that they would only make an appointment after considering all available and suitable options. The likes of Andoni Iraola, Julian Nagelsmann, Oliver Glasner, Gareth Southgate, Thomas Tuchel and Luis Enrique were all mentioned to be in the running for the position. A report covered by The Peoples Person claimed that Iraola, who was thought to be Carrick’s chief competitor for the job, had dropped out of contention for the managerial position. A subsequent report revealed that United’s football department are set to recommend to the executive committee that Carrick be hired on a permanent basis. Several players, including Amad, Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, Casemiro, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes have all thrown their weight behind Carrick. Now, reliable insider Sully has revealed that Carrick will be handed an initial two-year deal with the option of an additional 12 months. Carrick contract detail According to Sully, “Roundtable can exclusively reveal that United plan to offer the former midfielder an initial two-year contract until June 2028, following his side’s fantastic form.” “It is also understood that this contract will include an option to extend his deal by a further campaign, although negotiations are expected to follow before a final agreement is sealed.” “Roundtable understands that Carrick has already been involved in the recruitment process ahead of this summer and has given his views on the transfer strategy for the 2026 window.” Once the managerial issue has been sorted, United can finally turn their attention towards the summer window and pre-season.

United leading red-hot race for incredible Bournemouth star, Carrick absolutely loves him – report
Manchester United’s efforts to bolster their midfield this summer are ramping up, with Michael Carrick now playing a key role in the process as the interim boss is set to be handed the job permanently. Carrick is at the wheel An executive meeting is scheduled this week in which sporting director Jason Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada will lay out the case for Carrick to remain in charge to Sir Jim Ratcliffe. The former midfielder has exceeded his brief of securing Champions League football – a feat he achieved with three games to spare – by transforming the mood around Old Trafford. The winter period was a dark one for United, with poor performances on the pitch matched by fractious arguments off it, which ultimately led to Ruben Amorim’s dismissal after a complete breakdown in his relationship with the hierarchy. But light has returned to the Theatre of Dreams since Carrick took the reins from the prickly Portuguese, with the team boasting the best run of form in England during his tenure. Kobbie Mainoo has been brought back in from the cold to sign a five-year deal, while Bruno Fernandes looks similarly ready to commit his future to the club after his best season in a red shirt. It’s little surprise that INEOS are ready to stick with Carrick, rather than twisting elsewhere, particularly as the leading candidates – Luis Enrique and Thomas Tuchel chief amongst them – are all unavailable. Carrick offers his thoughts One major benefit of having a head coach in place is their input on transfers, given it will be their guiding hand which picks the team every weekend. While Carrick was understood to be offering advice on the club’s summer plans, this will ramp up when his position is officially confirmed – and the 44-year-old Englishman is a huge fan of one player high on United’s radar. TEAMtalk reveals Bournemouth maestro Alex Scott is a “player that Carrick has a deep affection for and hugely admires.” The 22-year-old midfielder is one of a number of targets the Red Devils are considering as part of their midfield revamp, with a sense that he will prove a cheaper alternative than some of his peers elsewhere in the Premier League. Scott has enjoyed a breakout season at the Vitality Stadium after recurrent knee injuries stymied his progress after arriving from Bristol City for £25 million in 2023. He has played every league match for the Cherries, who are locked in a red-hot race to secure an unlikely place in the Champions League next season under the careful watch of Spanish tactician Andoni Iraola. Chelsea are understood to be United’s main competitor for Scott’s services, while Liverpool and Newcastle are also admirers. But if the Guernsey native has the firm backing of the new King at Old Trafford, he may soon be joining as a Prince of the M16 realm. A report relayed The Peoples Person revealed United are leading the race ahead of their rivals, meaning this is a saga that is only just getting started as the summer window fast approaches.

Report Reveals Which Club Ederson ‘Prefers’ To Sign For Between Man Utd And Atletico Madrid

Buy a brand new Man Utd 2026/27 Authentic home shirt from Fanatics here How much will Ederson cost? What makes a move for the 26-year-old an attractive proposition is that he is closing in on the final year of his contract. Atalanta are reportedly holding out for a fee in the region of €50m (£43m) for Ederson at the moment, but that price tag will come down the closer we get to deadline day at the end of August. Man Utd are weighing up several options Ederson and Brighton’s Carlos Baleba are deemed to be the most realistic targets, while West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes has moved closer to the top of the shortlist. The prospect of the Hammers being relegated would likely lower the Portuguese international’s valuation. Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson is seen as the dream option, but with Manchester City seemingly his preferred destination, United are wise to pivot to alternatives. As we saw with Frenkie de Jong several years ago, there is no point waiting around all summer for your top target if they are simply going to choose someone else.

Man Utd Are ‘Ready’ To Table £43M Bid As They Try To Beat Chelsea In Battle For 54 Cap International
BACK David Tully May 13th 2026 This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement. Man Utd are targeting AC Milan defender Strahinja Pavlovic, according to reports in the Italian media. The Corriere Dello Sport claim that the Red Devils are “ready to drop” €50m (£43m) on the Serbian, who has been capped 54 times by his country. Pavlovic has had a strong season for the Rossoneri, but the Serie A side will be under pressure to sell players this summer if they don’t secure Champions League qualification. Max Allegri’s side are currently sitting in 4th place but they are only above Roma on their head-to-head record. There could be competition for Pavlovic It is believed that a number of Premier League clubs are interested in the centre-back. Chelsea have been the team most regularly linked with the player in recent weeks. However, the Blues are not expected to make any moves before they appoint a new manager. Xabi Alonso is favourite for the post at Stamford Bridge, but he is demanding control over recruitment. It means that, even if Pavlovic has been identified as a target by their recruitment team to strengthen the middle of defence, any decision on whether to go after him will be delayed, giving United a chance to steal the defender from under their noses. Buy a Man Utd home shirt from Sports Direct here Man Utd do have other priorities Heading into the summer transfer window, Director of Football Jason Wilcox has made reinforcing the midfield the primary focus of his recruitment strategy. A left-back and a winger are also on the agenda. While moves for centre-halves have been considered, it won’t be prioritised, so even if there is genuine interest in Pavlovic, a bid is unlikely to be imminent. Want more news on Man Utd?

Sky Sports Reporter Names The Midfielder Who Man Utd Want To Sign “Before The World Cup” Starts On June 11th
BACK David Tully May 13th 2026 Man Utd could try and sign Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba “before the World Cup”, according to Sky Sports journalist Lyall Thomas. The Cameroon international is a long-term target for the Red Devils, having tried to secure his services last summer. Thomas claims that Baleba remains high up the list of targets with one source telling him that the Red Devils are “keen” to do a deal ahead of the World Cup’s opening game on June 11th. Formal talks with Brighton have yet to take place, but with less than a month to go until the tournament kicks off in North America, there would not be much time to do a deal. The fact that Cameroon didn’t qualify, though, means that there will not be a hard deadline to seal an agreement for Baleba by then. Man Utd will need to pay a sizeable fee Speaking about Brighton’s valuation of Baleba last month, another journalist, Ben Jacobs, has said that offers below £70m are “not going to be engaged with” and a fee close to £90m may be required. Whether that will put off United from stepping up their pursuit in the 22-year-old, we shall have to wait and see. There are alternatives to Baleba Thomas has confirmed that Atalanta’s Ederson and West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes are both high up the list of options if the decision is made not to pursue Baleba, while Real Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni and Wolves’ Joao Gomes are also on the club’s radar. Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson is still seen as the top target by Director of Football Jason Wilcox and the recruitment team, but there is a feeling that Manchester City are the favourites to secure the 23-year-old’s signature.

Euro giant opens negotiations to sign United’s £42m star, INEOS’ summer plan hinges on deal – report
Galatasaray are ramping up their pursuit of Manuel Ugarte after receiving the green light from the Manchester United midfielder, according to a new report from Türkiye. The Engine Room In their first summer window in charge at Old Trafford, INEOS focused on upgrading the defence, while the second centred around fixing the misfiring attack. Now, in their third, the hierarchy are intent on a complete revamp in midfield. Despite a resurgence under interim boss Michael Carrick, Casemiro will leave at the end of the season when his contract expires. There was an option to trigger a one-year extension, but both the player and club decided against it. The Brazilian behemoth’s departure will leave such a hole that United plan to sign two midfielders to properly replace him. The primary target is Elliot Anderson, while other Premier League-proven operators like Sandro Tonali, Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton are also under consideration. But there is a growing sense that a third signing must arrive, as Ugarte has proven to be woefully short of the requisite standard since his big-money switch from Paris Saint-Germain in 2024. However, the outstanding book value on the initial £42m deal with the Ligue 1 champions is such that United will only be able to fund a replacement if the Uruguay international is first sold. Galatasaray Make Their Move Galatasaray first expressed interest in Ugarte during the winter window, but United were reluctant to weaken the squad, particularly in midfield, mid-season. Nonetheless, the Süper Lig champions, confirmed as winners for the fourth successive campaign last weekend, have not given up hope of striking a deal. A report relayed by The Peoples Person revealed contact between both parties has been maintained since January, with Ugarte understood to have given his “green light” to a move to Istanbul. Turkish outlet Fotomac now reveals Galatasaray have opened club-to-club talks with United. The report states a loan deal could be included in discussions, with the Red Devils understood to value the Montevideo native at the £26m mark. If he left for less than this, the sale would count as a negative PSR hit. Final Thoughts Arguably, Ugarte’s departure is as vital a piece of business as any for United this season. The effect his presence on the pitch has on the team’s performance, in comparison to Casemiro or Kobbie Mainoo for example, is stark. If United want to compete effectively on four fronts next season, with a return to the Champions League in the bag, three midfielders are needed to bolster a unit where Mainoo is the only viable option at present. But to fund this overhaul, a deal will need to be struck to send Ugarte to Türkiye, explaining why Galatasaray’s decision to open talks is such an important step.

This is it: these signings will deliver the silverware breakthrough United fans have been desperate for – opinion
Primed to finish third in the league and return to Champions League football, it seems as if Manchester United are back. But whether they are truly back or not, one thing is obvious heading into this summer transfer window: they will need to strengthen their squad and build a team they can truly rely on. To accomplish that, there must not only be quality additions but also necessary exits. So who makes way? 1. Amad Amad is not a flop, certainly not. He is one of the most exciting talents at Manchester United. However, these last few months since returning from AFCON, he has been well below his best. He cannot take on his man, he does not score or assist, and he is struggling massively. While he will likely snap out of this poor form, if a club like Sunderland comes in with a £50 million-plus offer, United had better take it. Shea Lacey can come in and deputise Bryan Mbeumo at right wing. 2. Manuel Ugarte The Uruguayan has done nothing to justify staying at United any longer. He failed to secure a spot in this team, and United would be better off cutting their losses and finding his replacement. Reports suggest he can leave for £25 million, with Italian clubs and Galatasaray keen. 3. Marcus Rashford Rashford has been a revelation at Barcelona; 14 goals and 14 assists in 48 games is brilliant. He has proven he still has the magic. The thought of him returning is exciting. However, he did not leave because of his ability; he left because of his attitude. He may have changed, but his time at United just feels up. If Barcelona can pay that £26 million to make his deal permanent, well and good. If not, United should welcome the other suitors circling the Englishman and get a good £40 million from his sale. 4. Andre Onana As great a goalkeeper as Onana is, unfortunately, it did not work at United. And with Senne Lammens impressing, it is a no-brainer that the Cameroon international’s services are no longer needed. Trabzonspor should want Onana after an impressive loan stint, and for at least £39 million, United should let them have him. With Radek Vitek already at the club, United may already have a brilliant alternative to Lammens. 5. Tyrell Malacia His United career was over long ago, yet he has still been at the club. This summer feels like the perfect time to finally part ways; Malacia makes way for more impactful signings. With those exits secured, who should United go for? Bolstering their midfield is the priority. With Ugarte and Casemiro both heavily tipped to leave, INEOS ought to go for a triple swoop there. They should target: 1. Sandro Tonali Anyone who watched United’s 2-1 loss to ten-man Newcastle should have spotted what a force Tonali is. The Italian possesses a rare blend of technical composure, tactical intelligence, and immense physical stamina. As a controller, the 26-year-old would allow Mainoo to stop doing the dirty work and stay out of the deep areas, freeing him to operate in those lethal half-spaces. That is precisely why he should be United’s marquee signing, a worthy £100 million investment. 2. Ederson Ederson, 26, would bring energy, ball-carrying, duel-winning ability, and composure under pressure to United’s engine room. He would be what INEOS hoped Ugarte would be, but at a fraction of the cost. With strong hints already linking United to a £43 million deal, that would be money well spent. 3. Mateus Fernandes Despite West Ham’s struggles, watching them, you would easily be blown away by Fernandes‘ brilliance. The 21-year-old midfielder is calm under pressure, brave in advancing the ball through vertical dribbling and passing, mobile in transition, and carries a high pressing intensity. He should give this United engine the fire it needs. Beyond the midfield, there are two further deals worth pursuing: a top left winger and another experienced defender. There is talk of a left-back signing being needed, but with Harry Amass, Diego Leon, and even Patrick Dorgu available, United can definitely do without one. On the winger and centre-back front: 4. Rafael Leao: left wing Leao, 26, burst onto the scene as one of those truly unbearable wingers to play against. His levels have since dipped, but the prospect of landing him for around £50 million is an opportunity too great to ignore. He could be United’s Ousmane Dembele. In his final seasons at Barcelona, many felt Dembele was finished, that he had lost his spark. Then he moved to PSG and instantly reclaimed his brilliance. Leao may simply need a fresh start, and a move to Old Trafford could offer just that. In United colours, he could rediscover himself and get back on track to challenging for the Ballon d’Or. 5. Marcos Senesi: defence Tottenham Hotspur may be closing in on his services, if they avoid relegation, that is. But should they drop to the Championship, United must move swiftly and secure him. The 29-year-old’s excellent passing range, his ability to break lines with ease, his flashes of ball manipulation, commitment in ground duels, and press resistance could make him the perfect alternative to Lisandro Martinez. Senesi would also offer the experience that Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven badly need, and doing so on a free transfer would represent a true masterstroke from United. With those exits completed and those signings secured, Manchester United could assemble one formidable squad, one capable of battling on multiple fronts.

United identify 19-yo demon as “missing piece” in attack, club-record offer will win race against PL rivals – report
Manchester United are braced for a battle to sign Hoffenheim winger Bazoumana Touré, with four Premier League rivals also vying for his signature, according to a new report from Germany. Reinforcements Out Wide The Red Devils are prioritising a revamp in midfield this summer. Two big-money signings are expected to arrive at Old Trafford, while a third will join them if Manuel Ugarte is sold. But the club are also on the hunt for reinforcements on the left-hand side – whether at fullback or on the wing. The long-term position of Patrick Dorgu may influence this decision, with the 21-year-old Dane having been redeployed further forward by Michael Carrick. If United do decide to add a new left-winger to their ranks, the leading targets are RB Leipzig sensation Yan Diomande or Aston Villa and England magician Morgan Rogers. Either player is expected to cost the best part of £100 million, however. And the budget is unlikely to stretch this far if the bulk has already been invested in midfield. This means cheaper alternatives are under consideration, such as Touré, who has enjoyed a superb season in the Bundesliga with five goals and 12 assists in 29 Bundesliga appearances. Hoffenheim are understood to be asking for a fee in the range of £45m for their prized asset, around half the outlay needed for United’s first-choice options. But they are not alone in their admiration of the Ivory Coast international, who played alongside Amad at the Africa Cup of Nations over Christmas. Four-Way Battle German outlet Fussball Daten reveals Arsenal and Liverpool are hot on Touré’s tails, with both clubs having already made advances to strike a deal. But the report also states Aston Villa and Brentford have now joined the race for the 19-year-old as well. Bayern Munich are another admirer of the winger, nicknamed ‘The Hurricane’ due to his ferocious speed, having clocked in as the fastest player in the Bundesliga this season. Hoffenheim are reluctantly open to a sale this summer, provided their asking price is met. Die Kraichgauer are currently fifth in the table, level on points with fourth-placed Stuttgart. If they are able to leapfrog their rivals on the final day of the season and secure Champions League football in the process, their negotiating position will be strengthened. A club-record sale is expected as the current one stands at the £38m Newcastle paid for Joelinton in 2019. Final Thoughts Sources in Germany describe Touré as the “breakthrough star of the season”, while some analysts believe his potential is so high that he may develop into a Ballon d’Or contender one day. INEOS are understood to consider him a “missing piece” of the attacking puzzle at Old Trafford, with Carrick’s squad lacking an out-and-out winger on the left – a dribbling demon to complement Amad on the opposite flank. Touré offers a high-upside option at a price point of £45m that enables bigger sums to be invested elsewhere on the pitch, while still securing one of the most exciting attacking prospects in European football.

“Unbelievable player”: Casemiro gives puzzling response to question on best star he has played with
Manchester United’s Casemiro has enjoyed an incredible season at Old Trafford. Departure It was announced earlier in 2026 that this season would be the Brazilian’s last at United. Casemiro has revelled in playing once a week and has been one of the club’s most important performers this season. He has been incredible in front of goal, scoring nine goals in all competitions and has been a major reason behind United’s rise to third in the table. This Sunday will be Casemiro’s last at Old Trafford against Nottingham Forest, and there is expected to be an emotional farewell from the fans. Casemiro on former teammates As part of the media build-up to his last game, Casemiro spoke to former United star Rio Ferdinand on his podcast, Rio Ferdinand Presents. Ferdinand asked Casemiro to compare United legend Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, two players with whom he shared significant success at Real Madrid around a decade ago. Explaining his point of view, the midfielder stated, “Cristiano scores, Cristiano has 15 goals. Minimum 15 goals. But Bale attacks, defends, heads, scores, fouls.” He added, “Cristiano is the best. Cristiano is the best. Cristiano is another one. Cristiano gives the… Take Cristiano off the conversation.” Surprisingly, Casemiro then expressed his preference for the Welshman’s game. Commenting on Bale, he said, “but for me, Bale is the best, more complete player. Because he attacks, he defends, he scores [with] the head, [wins] foul. Everything, he does [is] very good, very quick. Too strong. And for me, Bale is an unbelievable player. Unbelievable player.” Casemiro’s Old Trafford farewell will take place this Sunday at 12:30 BST against Nottingham Forest.
