Manchester United official transfer summary: 10 players leave the team, 4 new players face the 2025/2026 season

Manchester United showed serious attitude towards welcoming the new Premier League season in Premier League 2025/2026 season. With the upcoming game, the Red Devils are restructuring their team to be more competitive under Amorin’s leadership.

The opening match against Arsenal at Old Trafford will become a preliminary challenge for Manchester United's new look. This game is expected to be an important test to measure the level of team development during the summer.

After disappointment in the 2024/2025 season, Amorin is now under tremendous pressure. He was asked to improve the team's performance across the board, and the transfer market became one of the main steps in supporting this effort.

Marcus Rashford was loaned out and nine other players left the team.

One of the most surprising decisions in this transfer event was Marcus Rashford's loan to Barcelona. The decision sparked controversy among fans, as Rashford is the club's youth training product and is still considered to have made a great contribution.

Nevertheless, this move is called to revitalize the offensive department and open up space for the arrival of new strikers.

In addition to Rashford, Manchester United also let go of some other players. Among them are Joni Evans, Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof, who all left for free. The three veterans are believed to have begun to reduce their contribution to the team, and their departure reflects the process of team roster renewal.

Four young players, Sonny Archofrey, Dan Gore, Joe Hugill and Erie Harrison were also seconded to lower-level clubs to increase game experience. Young goalkeeper Radek Vitek was also seconded to Bristol City.

are still looking for a new striker, and Benjamin Cesco is the main target

Despite having introduced four new players, Manchester United is still actively looking for more signings. Their current priority is to introduce a forward to replace Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial for a long time.

The person who is most closely linked to Manchester United is RB Leipzig's young striker Benjamin Cesco. He is said to be the main target of Ruben Amorin to fill the critical Nine position.

Cesco performed well in the Bundesliga and has attracted the attention of many European clubs. However, Manchester United is believed to be one of the clubs that are most serious about him.
