Manchester United transfer window update

Manchester United look to close deals before the transfer window closes, with goalkeeper and midfielder targets and several players seeking exits.

United pursue late window moves as five exits loom

Manchester United have just under two weeks to complete their transfer business, with September 1 the deadline to add players. A new goalkeeper has dominated talk this window after Andre Onana did not feature against Arsenal and Altay Bayindir started, drawing scrutiny over options like Gianluigi Donnarumma and Emi Martinez. Senne Lammens of Royal Antwerp has also been mentioned as a potential target, though big-name moves appear unlikely given the price tags.

Budget constraints are shaping every signing so the club must choose value over velocity. United are trying to balance ambition with cash, leaning toward cheaper options or selling players to fund deals. The risk is that the squad quality could slip if targets on cheaper terms fail to deliver.

Deadline pressure amplifies scrutiny from fans and investors alike. If the window ends with a patchwork squad, it may not satisfy supporters or staff who expect progress. A clear plan and a credible goalkeeper move could set United up for a more stable season, even if it costs less than dream signings.

Highlights

The coming days will show if United can blend ambition with budget discipline or if the plan stays stuck in the shade of big-name optimism.
