Ornstein talks about Manchester United transfer: Continue to sell people, and signings focus on strikers, midfielders and goalkeepers

The Athletic famous reporter Ornstein posted a message reporting on Manchester United's transfer.

Manchester United successfully completed two key signings to enrich Amorin's roster before leaving for the US preseason on Tuesday. Cunha joined early this summer. Although Drapp finally chose to transfer to Chelsea, Mbemo still became another important gain for Manchester United before the start of the 2025-26 season. The club raises funds through the second share clause in AF, Elanga and Maxi Oyedelai's transfer, and Rashford's loan will also save the club significantly.

The work of cleaning up players such as Anthony, Maracia and Sancho continues, which will provide the team with more room for operation from the financial and lineup space. The installment payment structure of Manchester United's current transactions also plays a positive role, including cost reduction measures for large-scale layoffs, part of which is to maximize resources towards football operations, including player introduction.

Currently, Manchester United's signings focus on the front line, defensive midfielder and goalkeeper position. The club tried to join the Ekitic last week, but the Frankfurt striker has promised to join Liverpool. The subsequent inquiry of Yorke was also stopped because the players were only willing to join Arsenal, and Manchester United insisted on promoting only transactions that both sides had intended.

The targets that many giants such as Cesco, Watkins and Jackson have been concerned about have been reported with Manchester United recently. Although there are routine contacts, the club has not actively pursued them considering the cost factor. As the transfer window deepens, if the prices of these players fall, the situation may change, but Manchester United is currently focusing more on alternative candidates.

defensive midfielder is another reinforcement focus, and goalkeeper signing does not necessarily mean Onana's departure.
