Agreement reached: Manchester United reached agreement to finally hijack Arsenal’s transfer as the striker snubbed Arsenal for Man Utd’s move

According to reports, Manchester United have ‘chosen’ their ‘preferred’ replacement for Andre Onana and all parties are open to the transfer.

Man Utd are currently focused on overhauling their attack after they were toothless in forward positions during the 2024/25 campaign.

The Red Devils have already splashed out £62.5m to sign Matheus Cunha, activating his release clause to sign him from Premier League rivals Wolves.

Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo, who scored 20 Premier League goals in 24/25, is likely to be their next signing as fresh reports have indicated that they are ahead of Spurs in the race to sign the forward.

Once Man Utd’s move for Mbeumo is completed, they will still need to sign a new No.9 as they need an upgrade on Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, who only scored seven Premier League goals between them in 2024/25.

United are linked with Viktor Gyokeres and Hugo Ekitike, with either player potentially providing a huge boost to head coach Ruben Amorim if they join the Red Devils.

Even if/when Man Utd sign a striker, their summer business will be far from over as they still require additions in other positions.

A new goalkeeper should be among their priorities after Onana suffered a dramatic decline in his second season at Old Trafford.

Man Utd have been linked with several potential targets as they look for a new No.1, with Aston Villa star Emiliano Martinez among their options.

Martinez has been a revelation since joining Aston Villa from Arsenal and also shone for Argentina as they won the 2022 World Cup.

However, Martinez’s form for Villa dipped last season and it has been suggested that they could cash in on the 32-year-old this summer as they look to avoid a breach of the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability rules.
