BREAKING NEWS: Manchester United targets major summer signings! Big changes expected at Old Trafford!
As the 2025 summer transfer window approaches, Manchester United is already gearing up for significant changes to strengthen their squad. After a tumultuous season under manager Ruben Amorim, the club has identified areas that need reinforcement and is set to dive into the market for fresh talent.
Striker Signing – Liam Delap to Return to Manchester?
One of the key targets for United this summer is Liam Delap, the Ipswich Town striker who has been in excellent form this season. Delap, aged 22, has found the back of the net 10 times in 28 Premier League appearances for Ipswich, showcasing his potential as a top-level forward. United is reportedly in discussions about bringing Delap back to Manchester — the young striker previously spent time in Manchester City’s academy before moving to Ipswich.
Delap’s release clause, rumored to be £40 million, is reportedly active should Ipswich suffer relegation from the Premier League, making him an affordable and attractive option for United compared to other targets like Hugo Ekitike, who is valued at closer to £70 million.
The need for a new No.9 at Old Trafford has grown, as Rasmus Højlund has failed to make the same impact expected. United seems to be focusing on Delap as a viable solution to their striking woes, and the transfer appears to be gaining traction as summer approaches.
Goalkeeper Situation – Andre Onana’s Future in Doubt
In addition to strengthening their attack, Manchester United is also considering a change in goalkeeping personnel. Andre Onana, who joined from Inter Milan in 2023, has been under scrutiny due to a series of high-profile mistakes this season. His performances have not been up to par with the expectations placed on him as the club’s No.1 goalkeeper.
Reports from Fichajes suggest that United is making significant progress in their pursuit of Mike Maignan, the AC Milan goalkeeper. At 29 years old, Maignan has been one of the top performers in Serie A this season, earning 11 clean sheets in 42 matches. His exceptional performances for Milan have led to widespread interest, and Manchester United has reportedly made him their top priority for strengthening their goalkeeping department.
Maignan’s future with AC Milan is still uncertain, and United sees him as a long-term replacement for Onana. While Onana had a promising start to his United career, the recent drop in form has raised doubts about his ability to lead the team moving forward.
United’s Strategic Approach
The reported moves to bring in Delap and Maignan reflect a strategic shift at Old Trafford as Manchester United prepares for a crucial summer. The club has already made progress on potential arrivals, and with significant financial backing, Amorim’s side could make multiple reinforcements in a bid to challenge for major honors next season.
The summer transfer window will be crucial for United as they aim to get back to the top of English football and regain their position as Premier League contenders.
Stay tuned for more updates as the summer window approaches, with further news expected on transfers involving Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, and others who may be linked with moves out of the club.
