New Stadium Development
Manchester United is advancing plans to replace Old Trafford with a new 100,000-seat stadium. A task force has reported significant progress, though no official timeline has been announced[1].
Transfer Activities
Garnacho Situation
Napoli has submitted an improved €55 million bid for Alejandro Garnacho, with the player reportedly agreeing to personal terms worth €3 million per season on a five-year contract. However, Manchester United maintains their €70 million valuation[2][3].
Antony’s Potential Exit
Real Betis is close to securing Antony on a loan deal until the season’s end. The Brazilian, who arrived for €100 million from Ajax in 2022, has struggled to meet expectations. United hopes a successful loan spell could increase his market value for a potential summer sale[4][5].
