Manchester United Rumours Mobile

You may have missed.
Signings
Karim Cassim (16, midfielder): From City. A technical, goal-scoring central midfielder who has already featured for City’s U18s.
David Eze (16, midfielder): A tall, powerful, composed box-to-box player (often compared to a young Paul Pogba in style), England youth international/captain at U16 level, and highly regarded as one of the top talents in his age group.

He is set to sign professional terms when he turns 17.
Isaac Konde (16, winger from Liverpool) — Expected to join soon, but not confirmed as signed today.

22 Jul 2026 20:15:38
The club have released pictures of the new blue away kit.

It seems they offer a cropped top version on the ladies shirt.

I can imagine it best for a few on here to leave that style alone, beer bellies rule ok!

Anyway shirt is good.

22 Jul 2026 22:25:22
I love the new blue away kit. I prefer it to the home kit.

22 Jul 2026 08:28:57
Some time ago, someone posted that guests at a party included: Palmer, Rashford and Rogers. And the talk was of them all playing for the same club next season. Chelsea?

22 Jul 2026 14:08:13
Let's hope so.

22 Jul 2026 14:34:16
Echo that.

22 Jul 2026 17:15:50
They're one of the few that can and would afford his wages.

22 Jul 2026 17:33:21
They're stupid enough to offer £50+M as well for Rashford so here's hoping.

22 Jul 2026 20:04:01
I'll drive him there now.

22 Jul 2026 03:41:50
There's rumours of interest in Zaire-Emery of PSG, 19 years old. Does anyone know much about him?

22 Jul 2026 08:56:03
He's Incredible.
He'd automatically become our no.1 midfielder.
But not a chance in hell that he'd leave PSG.

22 Jul 2026 12:55:31
Every time I see him, he is their best midfielder. Maybe it's luck, but every time I see PSZ he is magnificent. I think it would be difficult to price him out.

22 Jul 2026 17:19:19
As nice as it would be, absolutely no chance. The odds of me signing for United are only slightly less.

22 Jul 2026 18:16:06
So if we get him, you have to watch every game, Heaven!

22 Jul 2026 18:48:23
It's something I always do, Key. Even more with Emery, as you say. 😂

18 Jul 2026 20:29:43
Here is a rumour for you
Tynan Thompson, an 18-year-old English footballer who plays left wing, left midfield. Born in London. A 6’2” England youth international. He is at Spurs, part of their U21 squad, and seen as very promising.


Reports indicate United are in advanced talks with Spurs over a fee, with Thompson having visited Carrington. A medical is reportedly planned if a deal is agreed.

19 Jul 2026 23:10:45
Is he any good???

20 Jul 2026 08:24:08
Wait to see the transfer fee, Eric. That'll tell you. It seems like that's how it works now!

20 Jul 2026 12:28:39
8m can't be any good. Tbf, the world has gone mad, he's not even played a 1st team game yet. It's no wonder a lot of these kids don't progress when they think they've made it at 18.

20 Jul 2026 13:14:42
Spurs received (or agreed to receive) a fee of £4 million guaranteed plus up to £4 million in add-ons (total potential £8 million) for Tynan Thompson.
The 18-year-old left winger has now completed a permanent move to Manchester United (announced July 20, 2026). Reports from reliable sources like The Athletic confirm United agreed to a £4m fixed fee + £4m performance-related add-ons (tied to his senior progress).

Tottenham retained a sell-on clause (reported as 15-20%), plus matching rights on any future bids.
This was a formal transfer because Thompson had signed professional terms with Spurs. The move was influenced by the player's and family's desire for a fresh start due to personal circumstances.

20 Jul 2026 14:40:14
My mate's dad is a Spurs fan and has followed them all his life, and he was telling me that there are concerns around Tynan and the people he has been associating with in London. Apparently, his mum is keen to get him out of the city and away from those influences.



I obviously hope none of it is true, because this lad has a serious chance to make it big.

The last thing we need is another Ravel Morrison situation. Tynan clearly has the talent — let's hope he has the right people around him to help him reach his potential.

20 Jul 2026 15:53:13
Reddevilfan, I'd look at it as a positive that his family can see his talent and are willing to relocate to support this. Yes, he's falling upwards moving to United, but having a strong, supportive family behind you is so important for young players.

Personally, I see the outcome being very different to Morrison, based on him making a move away from the potential issues, and he can really focus on his football now.

20 Jul 2026 19:10:32
I hope you are right, and the move works, but I would have thought that a totally focused young player would just make sure to stay away from negative influences in their locale rather than move city.

20 Jul 2026 19:38:43
I don't really buy that, Salford. If anything, moving away from bad influences shows you're serious about your career. It's all well and good saying, "just stay away from them," but that's a lot easier said than done when it's your everyday environment.

Top athletes change clubs, cities or countries because they know the people and environment around them make a difference.

That's not a sign they're not focused. It's a sign they're doing everything they can to give themselves the best chance of succeeding.

So I don't think moving says he's less committed. I'd say it's probably the exact opposite.

20 Jul 2026 21:02:59
You could look at it another way. He maybe don't want to move away from London and those mates, parents maybe forcing him to move cos see a gravy train... Who knows, let's just hope not another easily led teenager... and another wasted talent.

20 Jul 2026 21:58:23
Whatever his situation, we have signed a lad who has lots of talent and knows how to score.
I hope he sees this as progression in his career and becomes a first team player. In previous years, we have bought well from Spurs, and I'm thrilled with our transfer approach the last 2 seasons.

20 Jul 2026 22:37:44
Read that his family suffered a tragedy last year, and they felt that he needed a fresh start. I haven't seen anything to suggest that it has anything to do with the company he was keeping. All rumours, though, hopefully he settles and we see what he's all about. Hopefully he's another Ayden Heaven.

20 Jul 2026 22:48:37
I heard his father passed, and it's been a difficult time for his family. His mum has been the driving force in wanting a fresh start for the family in the north.

Supposedly a very good player, ready for some minutes.

Good luck to him and welcome.

21 Jul 2026 11:23:38
I don't think we know enough about his personal circumstances to come to any kind of meaningful judgement.

All we know is that, for whatever reason, his family feel he would benefit from a fresh start somewhere else. Hopefully, whatever unfortunate circumstances have happened in his life, he can use that as fuel to become a top player.

As they say, diamonds are formed under pressure. Challenges either make you or break you.

Let's just get behind the kid, and hope he kicks on and becomes the player his potential suggests he can become.

21 Jul 2026 21:29:18
Guess the club didn't fancy spending £68m on Summerville to be fair.

The market has gone mad. Rashford will be going nowhere.

17 Jul 2026 20:01:18
Question for the Eds
Is it true that United are looking at Larsson from Eintracht?

{Ed001's Note - I don't know sorry.}

17 Jul 2026 21:32:09
I'm finding it difficult to believe that a player who wasn't selected for Sweden's defensively poor World Cup squad by Potter will be someone who United are likely to buy, at least not for more than £15-20m. Baseless speculation spurred by the silence coming from the club regarding its targets.

16 Jul 2026 13:02:54
Kone medical expected over weekend, expect it to be announced early next week. Club will look to move thashford on next for Summerville, although not against keeping him if Carrick fancies him pre season.

Neco Williams of Forest is under consideration, but no talks of yet.

His agent has said he would be open to the move, but Forest have offered new terms.

After that we will be done in regards to senior players incoming. Carrick wanted deals done early so he can have somewhat of a pre season with them.

16 Jul 2026 14:30:11
5 days ago, You said personal terms agreed for him, not a single word about that from the reliable journalists. Now he's even about to do medical...

16 Jul 2026 16:03:57
Kone rumours agent led.

16 Jul 2026 16:31:12
I've heard the opposite: United are absolutely not interested in Kone. It's difficult to know what is truth, what is clickbait, and what is deliberate misinformation from agents.

16 Jul 2026 19:17:02
Villa are in for both too, so I'm not sure anything is agreed.

16 Jul 2026 22:56:21
Villa have/are about to sign Gomes.

17 Jul 2026 14:37:47
I like Tielemans but wonder if Villa have got a better deal selling him and buying a younger version with more years ahead of him.

17 Jul 2026 15:35:28
Interesting point, Salford. Proven quality over potential. We have bought potential in Santos, so I am cool with the addition of Tielemans.

We bought EPL-proven quality when we bought Cunha and Mbuemo, supplemented with the potential of Sesko. I am liking the balanced approach.

17 Jul 2026 18:46:14
Tielemans and Gomes are the complete opposite.
One a ball-player, one a destroyer.
Carrick wants footballers.

14 Jul 2026 15:24:11
Reports Villa, Newcastle and Fulham have all made enquiries for Mount and all 3 have been knocked back and told we are not selling.
I'm surprised if that's true.
I would have thought 30m coming in and his wages off the books would be attractive.

Perhaps if we get a 3rd cm they will soften that stance.
Rarely been available, so I'm surprised if they don't want to sell.

14 Jul 2026 15:37:03
If true, Ken, very disappointing. He is a great player, but he's never available, as you say.

14 Jul 2026 16:44:20
I believe there has also been enquiries from Inter Milan, Napoli and RB Leipzig, all of which have been rebuffed.

The club have made it clear that Mount will be with us for season 26/27. He is still highly rated, if only he could stay healthy, I am sure we would see a top player.

14 Jul 2026 17:09:27
I like Mount, but he can't stay fit. We wouldn't even need to replace him. His best position is probably cam, and Bruno and Cunha are both ahead of him there.

14 Jul 2026 17:23:50
Much will depend on the fee, plus I'd imagine the club might have to subsidise part of his wages as well.

However, breaking even on him (making a profit) and getting rid of at least half his wages would be better than keeping him whilst he gets injured again!

14 Jul 2026 18:00:40
Great player? Seriously? Done f*** all since he signed!

14 Jul 2026 19:45:56
#Scholes_18_18

Yes, he's a great player. He was the best player for Chelsea when they won the UCL. His issues are not skills and talent, it's fitness.

14 Jul 2026 19:58:13
Yes, 5 years ago. He's done nothing for us, nothing at all. Even when he's fit, he shite!

14 Jul 2026 20:01:45
We will need squad depth next season. Mount is a good player when fit, perhaps being a back up and cup player will suit him.

14 Jul 2026 21:20:38
Utd rd, I think he was a very good player, but it's been 4 years since he played consistently and well.
He is 27. A bit part won't suit him; if he's fit, he needs to get games and rhythm.

14 Jul 2026 22:14:11
I agree, overall I'd have sold him, but I'm happy with him as depth, and give him yet another chance. There's a player in there.

I think the 7 is a burden he can't carry, fwiw. I don't like to see it. It reminds me of Owen wearing it.

14 Jul 2026 22:17:37
He's not on "squad depth" wages though, is he.

If we are going to stick to a wage structure where the best/better players are paid the most, then players like Mount will have to be sold.

14 Jul 2026 23:38:45
I agree that he is a vg player, but, especially because of so many injuries, he really needs a long, unbroken run in the side to flourish. With Utds recent signings, I don't see how he will get such a run.

15 Jul 2026 08:39:54
If the coaching staff, and football management team at Utd want to keep him, they likely see more in him than we do.

Good versatile squad player to have around. (Even better if he can stay fit!!!).

15 Jul 2026 12:33:02
If we are able to bring in another midfielder, as well as an attacking player, it is possible that we will be able to manage Mount's minutes next season. In that case, maybe a player of his quality could have a big impact without the need to risk his injuries by having to play him.



Not an ideal situation, but maybe they have decided that, for what we would get for him, it would not clear his book value and we would have to spend too much replacing him.

If it does not work out, then get rid in 2027/28 season.

15 Jul 2026 14:50:44
United need 8 home grown players >21 in our 25 man squad. We have 9 right now. Shaw, Maguire, Mount, Rashford, Heaton, Mainoo, Mee, Heaton + Darlow. Unless we're replacing any of the above, we need them to meet the requirements. UEFA's rules may be even stricter. Do we have 4 3 year academy players?

{Ed001's Note - you don't need them, you can have a space in the squad.}

15 Jul 2026 17:33:17
Said it before, and I'll say it again.

The best ability is availability, and unfortunately he's not it. I like him, but we need someone who is consistently able to play.

15 Jul 2026 22:19:21
Newname, you counted Heaton twice 😂 Rashford wants to go, so would be down to 7, 6 if Mount leaves.

17 Jul 2026 04:48:21
I heard these rumours last week, but I didn't think they could possibly be true. I'm baffled as to why they were rejected. When he plays, he's very good, but that is nowhere near enough. We should've created a bidding war and got those wages off our books to use towards a premium signing.

13 Jul 2026 22:18:11
I think Tielemans and Santos could prove to be two really shrewd signings.

Tielemans brings proven Premier League quality, experience and composure, while Santos gives us energy, physicality and plenty of potential. I'd still love to see us add one of Alex Scott or Carlos Baleba as well, although both would probably cost serious money.

One interesting name tonight is António Silva from Benfica. Bournemouth are reportedly interested, with a fee of around £20m being mentioned.

He's only 22, already has huge experience for his age and was regarded as one of the best young centre-back prospects in Europe not too long ago. His progress may have stalled slightly, but at £20m, surely he's worth United taking a serious look?

Young, technically strong, comfortable on the ball and still with plenty of development ahead of him. It feels like the sort of calculated gamble that could look incredibly shrewd in a couple of years.

Anyone watched enough of him recently to know whether the hype is still justified?

14 Jul 2026 00:24:50
We have our CB projects in Heaven and Yoro. Won't bring in another without moving one of them on.

14 Jul 2026 09:36:54
Martinez might move on so might Maguire. Neither is likely, but possible.
I'd be hopeful either will move on, but like you say, Db, unlikely this summer.

14 Jul 2026 09:56:07
I think, ideally, we need a strong first choice cb and lb if we really want to kick on next season.

I can handle not seeing us buy another forward, unless Rashford does actually leave.

14 Jul 2026 11:22:04
If we don't buy another forward who actually plays up front, Sesko can't play all the games. He struggled with just the prem games, apparently has still not recovered, and still has a lot to learn anyway. Mbeumo was not great at playing No 9, so what are we left with?

14 Jul 2026 11:37:24
I think you have to be looking at Yoro and Heaven being the next cb pairing in the future for us. Hopefully there will be plenty of games where they both play together this season, especially in the cups.

Martinez, Maguire and de Ligt all need moving on for me and replacing over the next 12-18 months. Neither are going to make us title winners.

Maguire, although a nice guy, should have been sold years ago.

And all have their injury issues. If any bids come in this window I would be looking to accept and try to get a cb or two in.

Same with the full backs. I always worry with our defence. We do give a lot of chances away.

14 Jul 2026 12:11:18
I think Ismaila Sarr would be a good fit if available at the right price. Can play across the front 3 and up top. Energetic, scores goals and proven prem form.

14 Jul 2026 14:27:06
For a striker, we should be looking at a Danny Welbeck-type striker. One who's got good experience and quality but knows they won't start every game. He might be old, but he would be a better option off the bench than Zirkzee.



I can see Obi getting some minutes next season if he stays, but I still feel a loan would be better for him. That's the only way we're going to get him to develop and see if he can cut it. U21 is a big drop down.

14 Jul 2026 20:06:04
I think there will be one more midfielder, a DM, then it will be one out, one in.

Eg, Zirkzee out = Mateta in.

I agree Silva is good value at £20M at face value, but he's out of both the Benfica and Portugal teams. He can't dislodge an aging Otemendi. Might be worth waiting and seeing.

15 Jul 2026 10:01:39
Asking for Martinez to be moved on sounds mad to me. The man is unreal this World Cup. A definite keep for me.

15 Jul 2026 16:52:01
I have seen all Argentina matches, Banjoe. I love Martinez but he is a liability defensively in most of them.

13 Jul 2026 14:50:02
The club have officially confirmed the signing of Andrey Santos.

It's a 5 year contract with the option of a further year.

Really pleased with this signing, he has high promise.

13 Jul 2026 15:19:06
Was traveling, so I downloaded all I could of him to see what he offers.
He looks like he could become an awesome player.
Watched 4 30 min highlights of 4 Chelsea and a couple from Strasborg games, so not just his u tube personal highlights.
A really impressive engine and excellent tekkers.

He is very defensively aware and, like Mainoo, is comfortable receiving the ball under pressure.
I think him and Mainoo will benefit greatly from having a player of Teilemans experience around them.
Some good business done so far imo. Let's see who else we sign.

13 Jul 2026 19:35:22
Yes, Ken, good business indeed.

One fact I saw, which is encouraging. Last season, he made 43 appearances for Chelsea, registered the highest pass completion rate, and made the most progressive passes per 90 minutes of all midfielders under the age of 22 in the Premier League.

Plenty more of the above would be very well received.
