Omar Berrada, Manchester United’s chief executive offer, has unveiled the club’s transfer plan for the summer window with five new signings targeted

Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada has confirmed the club are set to replicate last summer’s transfer plan and sign a mix of experienced Premier League and non-English based stars.

United spent more than £200million on four players during the 2025/26 summer transfer window. The Reds’ first piece of business was signing Matheus Cunha in a £62.5million deal from Wolves, before Bryan Mbeumo arrived from Brentford for £71m. They then brought Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig for £73m and Senne Lammens in a late £18m move from Royal Antwerp.

As for those who left United, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Andre Onana, Toby Collyer, Ethan Wheatley, Harry Amass and Rasmus Hojlund were sent out on loan, while Alejandro Garnacho was sold to Chelsea for £40m and Antony joined Real Betis for £21m. Victor Lindelof, Christian Eriksen and Jonny Evans all departed the Reds at the end of their contract.

In the end, it proved to be a successful transfer window for United, as with the team eventually finishing third in the Premier League and securing Champions League qualification after Michael Carrick took over midway through the season. Cunha, Mbeumo, Sesko and Lammens all impressed during their debut campaign at Old Trafford and contributed to the Reds sealing a return to Europe’s elite competition.

And going into another important summer for the club, United’s CEO Berrada has claimed the Reds have a “clear plan” and want to mirror the success they had in the transfer market 12 months ago.

Speaking to United’s YouTube channel, Berrada said: “I think the template for what we did last summer will be replicated in many ways. You always go into a window, you don’t know how you’re going to come out of it, but you have to be really prepared. You have to have a clear plan.

“You have to know exactly what positions you’re looking to strengthen. And you also have to be prepared for any eventuality, there could be exits that we’re not expecting, there could be opportunities in the market that perhaps weren’t there at the beginning of the window. So, we have to be ready.

“We have to be agile and flexible, but we have a clear plan. Jason Wilcox and his team are very well set up to to execute that plan. And I do think that what we saw last season is a good way forward for us, which is we want a mix of experience and youth.

“We want a mix of players that have demonstrated they can perform in the Premier League and perhaps also with players that are doing very well outside the Premier League. But we will always do it within our terms and ensuring that whatever decision we take is not just for the short term but also for the long term.”

United are eyeing up at least five new signings this summer. Atalanta midfielder Ederson is poised to become the club’s first arrival after they agreed a £38m deal earlier this week.

Alongside that, the Reds have an interest in Real Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni, West Ham United star Mateus Fernandes and Carlos Baleba at Brighton. Elliot Anderson has been linked, but Manchester City look to be leading the race to sign the Nottingham Forest midfielder.

A striker is also on United’s radar, with the club already confirming that Hojlund has left on a permanent deal this summer. A left-back is another position that has been discussed with Newcastle star Lewis Hall a possible target.
