Manchester United want to sign a left winger this summer as they seek to strengthen their squad ahead of next season.

United have been linked with West Ham’s Crysencio Summerville. The Hammers need to raise funds following their relegation to the Championship and are prepared to sell him for £50 million.

Lille’s Matias Fernandez-Pardo and Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye are also on United’s radar.

German outlet Fussballdaten now claim that the Red Devils are monitoring the situation of Borussia Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi.

Dortmund are ready to sell Adeyemi for £35m as he has just one year left on his contract.

Liverpool and Aston Villa are said to have made contact with his representatives, while Chelsea and Fenerbahce are also considering a move for him.

Adeyemi scored 10 goals and provided six assists in 39 games across all competitions last term.

He was a regular in Dortmund’s starting line-up but lost his spot in the second half of the season, which cost him a place in the Germany’s World Cup squad.

Adeyemi can hurt defences with his direct dribbling, explosive pace, intelligent runs in behind and powerful ball-striking ability. He also has an impressive work rate.

The 24-year-old, who was once described as ‘world class‘ by former Dortmund manager Niko Kovac, is primarily a right winger, but can play anywhere across the frontline.

However, the Germany international lacks consistency in his decision-making. He averaged just 0.6 key passes per game and created just six big chances in the Bundesliga last term.

While he is available at a cut-price fee, he is expected to demand a huge salary, potentially making a deal difficult for United.

Adeyemi would add pace and directness to United’s attack, but they may be better served targeting a more well-rounded and consistent forward this summer.

Manchester United are refusing to be drawn into a transfer bidding war for West Ham United midfield star Mateus Fernandes.

Speculation has intensified over the past week amid claims that Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to outbid United to secure the Portuguese youngster.

Reports have even suggested that Spurs are closing in on an agreement on personal terms with the highly-rated midfielder.

However, the reality behind the scenes appears very different.

According to a reliable report, Man United are in ongoing talks with the Hammers to sign Fernandes.

INEOS are fully aware of Spurs’ interest in Fernandes, but firmly believe that they are the most advanced club in negotiations.

There is internal confidence that a deal can be completed, especially with Fernandes preferring a move to Old Trafford.

West Ham are in urgent need to sell

There is interest from Tottenham in the 21-year-old but it is difficult to see Fernandes choosing a move to North London unless United unexpectedly withdraw from negotiations.

Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Arsenal have also tracked his progress closely, yet all three clubs are understood to be aware of his desire to move to Old Trafford.

There are several reasons why the latest Tottenham speculation should not cause panic among United supporters.

The Portuguese international considers Bruno Fernandes his footballing idol and would relish the opportunity to play alongside him at the Theatre of Dreams.

The emotional pull of that prospect should not be underestimated.

There is also a strong possibility that some of the recent noise is being generated to increase pressure on INEOS and force a higher bid.

West Ham are currently seeking a fee close to £80 million for their prized asset.

The Premier League and EFL accounting deadline falls on June 30, leaving clubs with limited time to balance their books.

The Hammers are actively exploring player sales over the next 10 days to avoid potential financial complications after their relegation to the Championship.

The Red Devils have no intention of matching the current valuation and would prefer to complete a deal closer to the £60m mark.

The coming days could be decisive in determining the future of Fernandes.

Manchester United star Matheus Cunha delivered a sublime display to help Brazil win 3-0 against Haiti.

The pressure was firmly on the Selecao after their frustrating draw against Morocco in the opening group match.

Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti made a major change to the starting XI, replacing Igor Thiago with Cunha in attack.

The United forward repaid that faith in spectacular fashion, scoring twice inside the opening 36 minutes.

Making his World Cup debut, the 27-year-old enjoyed a slice of fortune when a defensive clearance ricocheted off him and found its way into the net.

It may have calmed a few of his nerves as he took his next goal-scoring opportunity with aplomb.

Vinicius Jr slipped him through with a clever ball and Cunha smashed it emphatically to beat the goalkeeper at the near post.

The angle looked almost impossible, but the Brazilian somehow generated the perfect combination of power and precision.

Brazil will now need a point against Scotland to progress to the next round of the tournament.

However, Ancelotti will be demanding all three points as Brazil target top spot in the group.

The Italian coach may now view Cunha as one of the most important attacking pieces in his squad.

Cunha repeatedly drifted into deeper areas, dragging defenders out of position and opening dangerous spaces for the wide players to exploit.

He recorded an 86% pass completion rate and won 80% of his duels.

Critics may point out that Haiti are ranked only 87th in the world, but the Selecao desperately needed a player to take responsibility and Cunha answered that challenge in emphatic fashion (and with a surfboard).

United head coach Michael Carrick will be delighted to see his key forward continuing his purple patch. 

He will now hope the Brazilian can use this World Cup momentum as a platform to reach even greater heights next season.

Manchester United are poised to reinforce their midfield department with multiple signings this summer.

The Red Devils will part ways with Casemiro when his contract expires at the end of June, while Manuel Ugarte could also head for the exit door after a below-par 2025/26 season.

United have already agreed a deal to land Atalanta midfielder Ederson, and talks are ongoing with West Ham United to secure the services of highly rated Mateus Fernandes.

Amidst this, Spanish journalist Miguel Serrano has now revealed that Real Madrid are looking to part ways with Eduardo Camavinga as they seek to bring in another midfielder.

Camavinga has no intention to leave Los Blancos as things stand, but could eventually do so. He does not feature in the plans of newly-appointed manager Jose Mourinho.

The Frenchman would prefer a move to the Premier League with a ‘Big Six’ team other than Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich. He has no intention of joining Juventus.

United are the only club that have expressed keen interest in the 23-year-old.

Madrid want €60 million (£52m) to sanction the Frenchman’s sale, but United could propose a lower figure. The Red Devils have yet to hold formal discussions with the La Liga outfit.

Man Utd could view Camavinga as Fernandes’ alternative

The Red Devils appear determined to land Fernandes’ signature from West Ham. The Hammers want £85m for a sale, but United have no intention to pay such a hefty transfer fee.

Despite this, the hierarchy remain locked in negotiations, and there is optimism that the Portuguese could be signed for less, as the Hammers need to balance their books after top-flight relegation.

If West Ham don’t change their stance soon, United could turn their attention to Camavinga, who would be a quality acquisition given his big-game experience and ball-playing ability.

The Frenchman averaged only 53 minutes per La Liga game last term, but still completed 92 percent of his passes. He won 63 percent of his duels with three recoveries and two tackles per outing.

The 23-year-old lost possession less than five times on average. He would be a top-notch signing. Comparing Fernandes and Camavinga, we would personally prefer United to pursue the latter instead.

However, United seem sold on finalising a deal for Fernandes. If there is a change of stance, Camavinga could emerge as a top target. A transfer could be agreed for £45m plus performance add-ons.

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford may be forced to remain patient before earning his first start at this World Cup.

According to the Daily Mail, Rashford is “managing a niggle” and could once again be restricted to a substitute role when the Three Lions face Ghana in their second group-stage fixture on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old entered the pitch in the 72nd minute against Croatia as a replacement for Anthony Gordon.

He wasted no time making his presence felt, scoring England’s fourth goal in a thrilling 4-2 victory.

Rashford reportedly felt something in his glute area and he did not feature when England beat Sporting Kansas City 5-1 in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Thursday.

The United academy graduate is currently expected to return to Old Trafford once the tournament concludes.

Barcelona opted against activating the £26m purchase option in his loan agreement despite the forward enjoying a highly successful season with the club.

Rashford produced 14 goals and 14 assists for the Spanish champions as they cruised to another La Liga title.

His impressive campaign enhanced his reputation, but it was not enough to convince Barcelona to make the move permanent.

It was recently revealed that he has a £40m clause in his contract at the Red Devils.

Upon returning to Old Trafford, Rashford’s salary is expected to rise to around £320,000 per week.

INEOS have worked aggressively to lower the wage bill and create a more sustainable financial model.

Reintegrating Rashford into the first-team squad on those terms would be viewed internally as a significant setback.

United will be hoping Rashford enjoys a successful tournament to encourage potential suitors to pursue a permanent transfer rather than another temporary loan deal.

Manchester United have a big decision to make over the future of one of their academy stars.

According to The Sun, Harry Amass wants to head back out on loan next season.

Amass is eager to secure regular playing time in the second tier again next term.

The report also claims that senior figures at United have not ruled out keeping him as direct competition for Luke Shaw at left-back.

The 19-year-old made his senior debut for the Red Devils under former head coach Ruben Amorim in 2025.

He made a total of seven appearances before United sent him on loan to Sheffield Wednesday at the start of the 2025-26 season.

Despite the club enduring a difficult season on and off the pitch, Amass quickly established himself as an impressive attacking wing-back.

His performances attracted attention and convinced United that he was ready for an even bigger challenge.

The club recalled him in January before arranging a second loan spell with Norwich City for the remainder of the season.

The talented defender made just one appearance before suffering a serious hamstring injury that ended his campaign.

Unfortunately, his time at Carrow Road was cut short almost immediately.

Amass currently has one year remaining on his United contract, although the club retain the option to extend the agreement by a further 12 months.

Ideally, the Red Devils would like to secure his long-term future before sanctioning another temporary move away from the club.

The teenager believes he needs regular first-team football to continue his development.

However, there is also a realistic possibility that manager Michael Carrick could offer him opportunities in the first team next season.

United will return to the UEFA Champions League after a two-year absence and squad depth will become more important than ever.

Luke Shaw started every Premier League game last season, but expecting him to maintain that workload across multiple competitions would be risky.

Amass will have a golden opportunity to stake his claim during pre-season.

If he can impress Carrick and his coaching staff, the need for another loan spell could disappear altogether.

Manchester United will launch their 2026-27 Premier League campaign with a trip to the MKM Stadium to face newly promoted Hull City.

The Red Devils will then bring the curtain down on the season at Old Trafford against Fulham on May 30, 2027.

After securing a third-place finish last season, expectations surrounding manager Michael Carrick and his squad have risen dramatically.

According to Opta, United have been handed the most favourable opening five fixtures of any Premier League club.

Here we take a closer look at how many points Man United could pick up from their first five games.

August 

22: Hull City (A)

29: Ipswich Town (H)

September

5: Everton (A)

12: Manchester City (H)

19: Fulham (A)

Hull City and Ipswich Town are both expected to face a difficult battle for survival in their first season back in the Premier League.

For both clubs, simply reaching the 40-point mark and avoiding relegation will likely represent success.

United should view those opening two fixtures as must-win encounters.

Anything less than six points could immediately place unwanted pressure on Carrick and his players.

Trips to Everton and Fulham could be tricky.

David Moyes is an experienced manager who will ensure Everton are organised and difficult to break down.

However, United should possess enough quality to leave the Hill Dickinson Stadium with all three points, just as they did last season.

The Red Devils have won eight of their last nine visits to Craven Cottage.

Dropping points in that fixture could ultimately prove costly when every point matters in the race for major honours.

Carrick must make the most of pre-season and ensure his team are ready to collect 12 points from those four games.

The first Manchester Derby of the season is sandwiched between the trips to Everton and Fulham.

Man City have been the best English team over the past decade, courtesy of Pep Guardiola.

The Spaniard will no longer be in the dugout for City, with former Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca expected to replace him.

The derby could provide an early indication of the balance of power in Manchester.

Much may depend on how both clubs strengthen during the summer transfer window.

If INEOS can successfully solve United’s midfield issues and provide Carrick with a stronger squad, there is every reason to believe the Red Devils can secure another memorable victory over their city rivals.

15 points from 5 games could be a dream start for Carrick.

Manchester United are ‘bidding hard’ to sign West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes ahead of Real Madrid, according to Spanish outlet AS (page 22).

The Red Devils are poised to reinforce their midfield department with multiple signings. They have already secured a deal to land Atalanta ace Ederson.

Fernandes is the next target for the Mancunian giants, and talks are already underway with the Hammers to reach a suitable agreement for the Portuguese.

AS today report that Madrid manager Jose Mourinho sees Fernandes as the icing on the cake, but Los Blancos face a huge obstacle in the form of United this summer.

The Red Devils are ‘bidding hard’ for the Sporting CP graduate, and super-agent Jorge Mendes could be a key catalyst in bringing the 21-year-old to Old Trafford.

Mendes has represented Mourinho for the past two decades, but also has a ‘very good’ relationship with United, having recently brought in Leny Yoro and Manuel Ugarte.

Man Utd have an edge over Madrid in Fernandes pursuit

West Ham recruited the 21-year-old from Southampton for around £40 million last summer. He had a good individual season despite their relegation to the Championship.

The former Saints man made 10 goal contributions from 42 appearances. He won an impressive six duels per game, while registering three tackles and five recoveries on average.

He had a good passing accuracy of 87 percent, given that the Hammers were among the lower possession-based clubs. His distribution should improve at a more possession-based outfit.

United seem determined to bring him to Old Trafford, and the player has likewise clarified his stance. He is reportedly ‘giving his priority‘ to the club despite interest from elsewhere.

Madrid have made a late entry in the race with Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez proving expensive, but United currently have the upper hand with the midfielder holding out to join them.

Tottenham have recently entered the pursuit too, but their disappointing league campaign (17th), combined with the lack of Champions League football, should not appeal to the player.

United still have no plans of meeting the reported price tag of £85 million. Negotiations are reportedly ongoing to practically restructure the deal to include performance add-ons.

With current inflation in the transfer market amid the World Cup, we believe a package of around £60m upfront, with add-ons, would represent a good package to land Fernandes.

United believe they have time on their hands due to the player’s stance. The Red Devils should still seek to secure a suitable deal in time for Fernandes to report for the start of pre-season.

Manchester United now know exactly what lies ahead after the release of the 2026-27 Premier League fixture list.

The Red Devils will kick off the new campaign with a trip to the MKM Stadium to face Championship play-off winners Hull City on August 22.

Their final league assignment of the season will come at Old Trafford against Fulham on May 30, 2027.

The upcoming campaign will also mark the first full Premier League season of the Michael Carrick era.

After securing a third-place finish last season, expectations around Old Trafford have risen significantly.

You can view the complete Premier League fixture list here.

Opening Five Fixtures

August

22: Hull City (A)

29: Ipswich Town (H)

September

5: Everton (A)

12: Manchester City (H)

19: Fulham (A)

United’s first home game of the campaign will see newly promoted Ipswich Town make the journey to Old Trafford.

Trips to Everton and Fulham will be sandwiched around the first Manchester Derby of the season in September.

Both Manchester City and Fulham will enter the campaign under new management following the departures of Pep Guardiola and Marco Silva.

On paper, Carrick and his men will have a genuine opportunity to make a fast start and establish themselves near the top of the table.

Key fixtures

The first Manchester Derby comes early in the season but the return fixture at the Etihad Stadium on March 20 could carry enormous significance.

Should both clubs find themselves involved in a title race, the result may have a huge impact on the destination of the Premier League trophy.

United’s meetings with Liverpool are scheduled close together. The Red Devils will travel to Anfield on November 21 before welcoming their fiercest rivals to Old Trafford on January 23.

The short gap between those fixtures means any player suffering a medium-term injury could realistically miss both encounters.

United will travel to the Emirates Stadium on December 19 to face the reigning Premier League champions. The festive period offers little room for rest.

The reverse fixture at Old Trafford is scheduled for February 27 and could be another major title-race showdown.

United will host Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day before beginning 2027 with a difficult away trip to Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Christmas and New Year schedule could prove crucial in shaping the final league table.

Manchester United have identified Mateus Fernandes as one of the centrepieces of their midfield rebuild this summer.

West Ham United are demanding £80 million to sanction his sale, but INEOS have no intention of meeting that valuation.

The Athletic revealed yesterday that Tottenham Hotspur have entered the race to sign Fernandes, with head coach Roberto De Zerbi pushing to get the deal done.

There are four key reasons why United fans should not be worried about Tottenham hijacking this transfer.

The lure of Champions League

United are back in the UEFA Champions League after a two-year absence, while Tottenham Hotspur will be without any European football next season.

At 21, Fernandes will naturally want to test himself against the very best players in world football.

He has earned a cap for Portugal but missed out on the World Cup squad due to the extraordinary depth of talent available to the national team.

If he wants to establish himself as a regular international, competing in elite European competitions for elite clubs will be essential.

Fear of another relegation battle

Fernandes has already endured more than his fair share of disappointment early in his career.

The midfielder suffered relegation in consecutive seasons, first with Southampton and then with West Ham.

Tottenham have finished 17th in the Premier League in back-to-back seasons.

Had it not been for De Zerbi, Spurs could have been preparing for the Championship right now.

Fernandes deserves to play for a club with higher ambitions.

Realistic chances of major honours

Tottenham may have lifted the Europa League recently, but United appear better positioned to challenge consistently for the biggest trophies.

The Red Devils finished third in the Premier League last season and showed clear signs of progress under manager Michael Carrick.

With both Liverpool and Manchester City entering new managerial eras, the competitive landscape is shifting.

Arsenal remain the benchmark, but United have a realistic opportunity to close the gap if they recruit effectively this summer.

For a player eager to win major honours, Old Trafford represents an extremely attractive destination.

The Bruno Fernandes effect

Mateus considers Bruno Fernandes one of his footballing idols. Few opportunities would be more appealing than learning directly from the player he has admired for years.

The United skipper also reportedly wants the youngster to play for the Red Devils.

Arsenal and Real Madrid are also interested in the West Ham star but he favours a move to Old Trafford.

Given the options available to him, it would be unrealistic to imagine him turning down United, Arsenal and Real Madrid in favour of Spurs.
