Confirmed Moves
Antony to Real Betis
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Antony’s six-month loan move to Real Betis. The deal includes no buy clause, with Manchester United covering most of the Brazilian’s wages[1].
Potential Arrivals
Patrick Dorgu Deal
Ruben Amorim is close to securing his first major signing, with negotiations advancing for Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu. The Danish international is viewed as a potential replacement for Garnacho[1].
Youth Prospect Interest
The club is monitoring Southampton’s Tyler Dibling, who has attracted interest from several clubs. Southampton values the 18-year-old at £55 million, with Tottenham, Newcastle, and RB Leipzig also interested[2].
Potential Departures
Garnacho Situation
Alejandro Garnacho could leave for either Napoli or Chelsea, with United reducing their asking price to £55m. Napoli’s manager Antonio Conte has promised him a starting role[3].
Casemiro’s Future
The club is seeking to offload Casemiro, with their £30m asking price proving problematic. Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr emerges as a potential destination, though a price reduction may be necessary[3].
Other Transfer Targets
Striker Options
United is considering several striking options:
- Ivan Toney from Al-Ahli, who has scored four goals in 12 matches
- Victor Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray, though he prefers to stay until season’s end
Manager’s Perspective
Ruben Amorim remains optimistic despite recent challenges, emphasizing the importance of positive performances to change the mood at Old Trafford[4].
