Manchester United are reportedly interested in Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White, though Forest are maintaining a firm stance against selling the 26-year-old, according to CaughtOffside. Gibbs-White signed a contract extension last year, and the club is determined to retain him, especially following anticipated departures like Elliot Anderson to Manchester City.
Meanwhile, Atalanta midfielder Ederson had a medical scheduled in New York on Sunday, as reported by Corriere dello Sport. The medical was previously delayed due to a late call-up to the Brazil national team for the World Cup under Carlo Ancelotti. United and Atalanta have agreed to a €45 million package for the player, but the official announcement is not expected until July.
The future of Marcus Rashford remains uncertain after Bayern Munich agreed a €55 million deal with PSV Eindhoven for Ismael Saibari. Bayern had previously been linked with Rashford as a potential alternative, but this deal appears to rule out a move for the Manchester United outcast. Rashford’s loan spell with Barcelona will not be made permanent, with the club opting not to exercise their €30 million purchase option, meaning he is currently expected to return to Old Trafford.
Manchester United could potentially miss out on revenue from a future sale of Mason Greenwood. AS Roma are reportedly proposing a €5 million loan fee with a €25 million purchase obligation, plus €10 million in bonuses and a sell-on clause to Marseille. Marseille are seeking over €50 million for Greenwood, and United hold a 40-50% sell-on clause, though the specifics of how that clause applies to the overall fee are unclear. The club would benefit from Marseille receiving the highest possible transfer fee.
These developments signal a busy summer transfer window for Manchester United as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. Securing Ederson would address a need in midfield, while the situation with Gibbs-White and Rashford will require careful management.
