The 2024 transfer window is finally open – and Manchester United look set to start with a bang.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has already promised significant investment into the Red Devils’ current playing squad. That will certainly excite current manager Erik ten Hag.




The Dutchman’s future was previously up in the air but he has been told that he will be staying. He could also sign a new deal at Old Trafford.

On the topic of signing on the dotted line, some players could be doing that to become Man United players in the near future. Get up to date with all of the latest transfer news and rumours:

Barcelona keen on Mainoo

Man United academy graduate Kobbie Mainoo was one of the Red Devils’ breakout stars at Old Trafford last season. But he might not be at the club for very long.

According to reports in Belgium, Spanish giants Barcelona are interested in moving for the young midfielder. The Red Devils, however, are also trying to do all they can to keep him.

It is suggested that Man United officials are aware of Barca’s interest and have opened talks regarding a new deal. Mainoo’s representatives are asking for an extension to his current deal with a significant wage increase. The 19-year-old has three years left on his deal at Old Trafford.

Red Devils agree Branthwaite terms

While Mainoo could potentially be on his way out, one man who could be arriving is Jarrad Branthwaite. The Red Devils are long-term admirers of the Everton defender.
