Manchester United are reportedly considering a move for Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise during the summer transfer window. In exchange, Man United would send right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka back to Palace, his former club.

Olise signed a four-year contract with Palace last August, rejecting advances from Chelsea. This summer, the player is expected to be more likely to depart the club as Palace looks to restructure. Still, Chelsea are believed to remain interested in the 22-year-old player, with Liverpool also reportedly in the mix.

While United triggered the 12-month extension included in Wan-Bissaka’s contract, the club reportedly did so in order to avoid allowing the defender to depart the club as a free agent this summer. ESPN claimed that the decision was a financial one, enabling the club to raise funds by selling the player in the summer.

Manchester United have reached a deal to sign Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund. The deal, worth £72 million (around $92 million) consists of an initial fee of £64 million and £8 million in add-ons.

The Premier League club has already reached an agreement on personal terms with the player, which includes a five-year contract and a one-year option to extend.

Following the arrivals of Mason Mount and Andre Onana, Hojlund’s transfer is expected to be the final deal that the Red Devils are prioritizing in the current transfer window. Any other deals are expected to be dependent on fees that United may earn from player sales this summer.

While PSG previously expressed interest in signing the Danish striker, Hojlund is believed to have always viewed Man United as his destination of choice.

Sources revealed on Saturday that Manchester United have rejected West Ham United’s £20 million ($25.7 million) bid for defender Harry Maguire. Man United manager Erik ten Hag is believed to be content with keeping Maguire for another season should the club not receive a bid closer to the player’s £40 million valuation.

Maguire has fallen out of favor with Ten Hag since the Dutch coach’s arrival at Old Trafford last season, with Lisandro Martínez and Raphaël Varane emerging as the usual starters at center-back. During the ongoing preseason, Ten Hag decided to strip Maguire of the club captaincy, awarding it to midfielder Bruno Fernandes.

West Ham are reportedly reluctant to offer more money for Maguire than what they have already bid. Even if the Red Devils were to accept West Ham’s offer, another hurdle to getting a deal done would be the player’s steep wages.

Currently, Maguire has two years and a one-year option left on his contract, with his wages set to rise this season because United qualified for the UEFA Champions League.

Manchester United completed the signing of Marcel Sabitzer on loan from Bayern Munich until the end of the season, both teams confirmed. The transfer was completed hours before the transfer deadline day at 2300 GMT on Tuesday.

Sabitzer became an urgent transfer target for Man Utd following the injury of Christian Eriksen, who is expected to be sidelined for at least three months after incurring an ankle injury resulting from a dangerous tackle during the team’s 3-1 win over Reading in the 4th round of the FA Cup on Saturday night. With both Donny van de Beek and Scott McTominay also sidelined, the Red Devils are running short of options at center midfield.

“Marcel is a player that we have watched for a long time,” Man Utd director of football John Murtough stated. “The opportunity arose quickly, and we knew that he was someone with the ability and character to make an impact. He adds further quality to our squad and experience to the dressing room, and all of us are pleased to be welcoming him to Manchester United.”

After struggling to secure his place in the Bayern Munich starting lineup, Sabitzer will look to gain more regular playing time in the Premier League. Sabitzer is Man Utd’s second signing of the January transfer window following the arrival of striker Wout Weghorst, who also joined on loan until the end of the season.

Newcastle United decided to recall goalkeeper Martin Dubravka from his season-long loan at Manchester United, both clubs confirmed on Sunday. According to multiple reports, the Red Devils are yet to decide whether or not to sign another replacement backup goalkeeper during the January transfer window.

“Martin Dubravka has been recalled from his season-long loan to Manchester United by his parent club Newcastle United,” an official statement by Manchester United read. “The Slovakian goalkeeper has made two appearances for the Reds since arriving from Tyneside in the summer, both in the Carabao Cup. We would like to thank Martin for his contribution during his time with our club, and wish him all the best for the future.”

Man Utd forked out £2 million to loan Dubravka from Newcastle before the start of the current season. The deal included an option to sign him permanently for a fee of £6 million depending on whether or not the goalkeeper made a specific number of appearances for the club.

According to reports, it was Newcastle that decided to end the Slovakian player’s loan deal at Old Trafford early.

Manchester United is set to make a formal inquiry about the availability of Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos ahead of the January transfer window, sources revealed on Wednesday.

While manager Erik ten Hag previously stated that the club may not buy a striker next month, the Red Devils have ramped up their search for a goalscorer following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of the World Cup.

Cody Gakpo, Rafael Leao, and Joao Felix have all been targeted by the club, however, Goncalo Ramos appears to have rocketed to the front of the line following his impressive World Cup performance for Portugal, including a hat-trick in his team’s 6-1 win against Switzerland in the Round of 16.

Benfica valued the player at around €20 million during the previous transfer window and was willingly considering bids in this range, however, they made an effort to keep the player especially after qualifying for this season’s Champions League. Following Portugal’s World Cup campaign, however, it is believed that Benfica will now look for a higher price from the 21-year-old player.

Fellow striker Cody Gakpo continues to be monitored by Man Utd following his strong World Cup showing for the Netherlands. While the club received a quote of €30 million from PSV Eindhoven in the summer, this valuation is expected to rise to €50 million.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has asked the club to monitor Cody Gakpo and Rafael Leao as he looks to find a striker to replace the now-departed Cristiano Ronaldo in the January transfer window.

Despite the club’s initial decision to not buy new players in January after spending over £220 million during the summer transfer window, the club now finds itself in need of a new main striker now that Ronaldo is no longer a part of the Red Devils’ lineup. Antony Martial’s fitness is also an issue for Man Utd as the French striker has suffered three separate injuries during the first half of the season.

Ronaldo’s departure has freed up Man Utd’s wage bill by £15 million, thereby enabling the club to move in on a replacement. Ten Hag is also looking to bolster his team’s squad depth ahead of the packed schedule once club soccer returns following the conclusion of the World Cup.

Gakpo has had an immense impact on PSV Eindhoven, earning the Dutch Cup with the team and becoming this season’s top scorer in the Eredivisie with nine goals and 12 assists in 14 appearances.

Leao scored 14 goals for AC Milan last season, helping the Italian side to win the Serie A trophy.

ESPN reported on Wednesday that Manchester United has inquired about the availability of Chelsea and US Men’s National Team player Christian Pulisic. The Red Devils are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing the player on a loan deal.

Although he still has two years left on his contract, Pulisic has reportedly grown frustrated at his lack of game time for the Blues. The midfielder played for just 30 minutes across Chelsea’s first two Premier League games, coming on as a substitute in both matches. Pulisic struggled with injury last season, starting in only 13 Premier League games.

Man Utd’s interest in Pulisic comes as the club scrambles to sign new talents before the close of the transfer window in a couple of weeks. Furthermore, the Red Devils appear desperate to turn their fortunes around after losing their first two Premier League games; the team’s worst-ever start to a Premier League season.

Juventus and Atletico Madrid have also expressed an interest in the player, with Newcastle United also believed to be monitoring the situation.

Chelsea’s willingness to let go of Pulisic may rest on the club’s ability to land a replacement. The Blues currently have their sights set on Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Everton midfielder Anthony Gordon.

Manchester United is set to begin a widespread clear-out of its defensive players ahead of the start of the new Premier League season. This comes after the club welcomed the signing of left-back Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord and Ajax center-back Lisandro Martinez earlier during the transfer window.

Fullback Alex Telles is the first player that is expected to depart, albeit on a season-long loan to La Liga side Sevilla. Telles is a surplus to the Red Devils’ fullback requirements, with Malacia and fellow left-back Luke Shaw among those who are competing for a spot in the starting eleven.

With two years left on his Man Utd contract, Telles found himself being shifted to both the center-back and midfield positions during Manchester United’s pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia.

Center-back Eric Bailly is expected to be the next player to leave Old Trafford, with Sevilla and Roma both registering an interest in the player. Bailly’s contract with the club lasts until 2024, at which point he’ll have the option of a one-year extension. Other players who the club is prepared to part ways with include Axel Tuanzebe, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Phil Jones, and Brandon Williams.

Manchester United has secured the transfer of Lisandro Martinez from Eredivisie champions Ajax for an initial fee of €57.37 million plus add-ons, the club confirmed on Sunday. The 24-year-old player is expected to become a Man Utd player after completing a medical at Old Trafford.

Martinez will sign a five-year contract with the club, thereby reuniting with his former manager Erik ten Hag, who coached Ajax up until the end of last season when the Red Devils approached him with a new job offer.

Prior to securing the Argentinian’s signature, Man Utd faced competition from Premier League rivals Arsenal in the race to sign Martinez. Ultimately, the 24-year-old player made clear that Manchester United was his preferred destination, personally rejecting any advances made by the Gunners.

Ten Hag viewed Martinez as a priority signing this summer due to the player’s versatility as both a center back and holding midfielder, both areas of play that Manchester United seeks to strengthen. He has become the club’s third confirmed signing this transfer window, following Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord and free agent Christian Eriksen.

With Martinez’s arrival secured, the Red Devils turn their sights to Frenkie de Jong, the Barcelona midfielder who is viewed as ten Hag’s top priority signing this summer.
