Manchester United have more work to do in the transfer market after spending more than £80m on new arrivals
Michael Carrick and Manchester United are preparing for close to a full complement of players as they prepare to round off their pre-season campaign. How many of those players are still there at the start of the season is a different matter, though.
United drew with Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday as they continued their pre-season programme. There were injury scares for Mason Mount and Tom Heaton but it’s hoped neither are too serious.
With less than two weeks to go until the league opener at Hull, the two biggest additions have been in midfield. Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos both joined for sizeable fees but another new face could follow after Casemiro’s exit and Manuel Ugarte’s injury.
There’s also the big question of what might be next for Marcus Rashford. We’ve got the latest for you on that and on another potential deal.
Liverpool could rival United for Camara
Manchester United and Liverpool have joined the race for Senegal star Lamine Camara, according to Foot Mercato. Crystal Palace are also keen on the 22-year-old, who has been of interest to English clubs for a while.
Monaco are understood to be seeking £43m for the player, who has previously been mentioned in connection with a Chelsea move. Camara progressed through the famed Generation Foot academy and also represented Metz before moving to his current club.
Get Man United’s new 2026/27 home kit
Manchester United have launched their new home kit for the 2026/27 season, inspired by the club’s heritage and featuring a classic polo collar with iconic adidas details.
The midfielder was also a key part of Senegal’s World Cup 2026 squad. He appeared in all four games as they made it out of their group but were knocked out by Belgium in the round of 32.
Rashford situation remains fluid
Marcus Rashford is back in the Manchester United camp, with Kobbie Mainoo and Lisandro Martinez also returning after deep World Cup runs. MEN Sport understands the most likely outcome is Rashford being reintegrated at Old Trafford for the new season, though a buyer could yet emerge.
Barcelona held an option to secure the forward for £26m at the conclusion of their loan arrangement but allowed it to lapse. A comparable bid from another club could still be sufficient to acquire Rashford, though none has been forthcoming so far.
“We have got a full squad this week in Dublin,” Carrick said. “We fly straight there and have a few days where we have the whole group back together.
“Marcus is part of that, and Kobbie and Lisandro. We look forward to seeing them.”
