The Athletic wrote an article introducing the recent transfer of Manchester United. The article stated that Rashford is inclined to Barcelona and Garnacho hopes to stay in the Premier League.
Is there something happened in the past week?
Mbemo has informed Brentford and Tottenham that he decided to join Manchester United if he transfers this summer, and Brentford rejected the second offer from Manchester United's fixed £55 million plus £7.5 million surcharge. Negotiations between the two clubs continue, and United hope to finalize Mbemo by next Monday, but they are determined not to pay excessive transfer fees for players.
In addition, 18-year-old left-back Diego Leon will arrive in Manchester this week with a transfer fee of 3.2 million pounds. Heaton signed a new one-year contract, and Evans continued to stay at the club after retirement.
Which position/player are they focusing on?
If Hoylund leaves, Watkins will be a potential target for the forward. United are currently focusing on Mbemo's deal, and any transfer trends for Watkins or other center targets are expected to depend on funding through the sale of players, United also engages with Frankfurt on Ekitic, while Amorin admires Yorke.
As for the midfielder, despite rumors with Enmecha, Manchester United has not yet reached out to the player's agent, and Dortmund has no intention of letting the 24-year-old leave the team this summer.
Which players may leave?
Anthony is still the closest player to leaving, and negotiations with Betis continue, but Betis sports director acknowledged that permanent signing of Anthony would be "a very complicated operation." Any agreement may involve Manchester United subsidizing part of Anthony's salary, which can be partially offset by adding a second transfer share. Similarly, Sancho's salary is also an obstacle to his departure.
Rashford and Garnacho may bring higher fees, and Rashford currently attracts more loan intentions than permanent transfers. In any case, he is more inclined to join Barcelona. Chelsea has long been interested in Garnacho, and if Garnacho leaves Manchester United, he would rather stay in the Premier League.
Manchester United has not received specific interest in Malaysia yet. Hoylen's departure may open the door for Watkins' transfer. The Danish international is attracting Inter's attention, but he has previously expressed his hope to stay in Manchester.
