TAKE OR LEAVE: Manchester United drop an eye-watering bid for an aggressive striker after the first offer of £100m was rejected

Manchester United are interested in signing Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Nelson Semedo, according to FootballTransfers.

Losing the Europa League final ensured that Manchester United would be entering the 2025/26 season with no European football. Defeat was the last in a line of bitter pills to swallow for the Red Devils, who finished with their lowest-ever points tally in the Premier League era.

It will be a summer of departures at Man United, with Alejandro Garnacho just one of the players expected to leave. Ruben Amorim proved with Man United’s performances in Europe that he can get a tune out of his team, but it is also clear that the Portuguese will need mass reinforcements in the coming summer.

Semedo To Man United?

Defender is available on a free transfer

FootballTransfers have reported that Man United are interested in signing Nelson Semedo, a “wonderful” player, this summer. The right-back, who has been with Wolves since joining them from Barcelona in 2020 for £37 million, is on an expiring contract and as things stand, will become a free agent at the end of June.

At 31 years of age, Semedo is an experienced defender, one who has proven, across five years, that he has more than enough quality for the Premier League. Semedo would bring the guidance of an older player that is necessary in a team full of young prospects, like Man United’s, and can cover multiple areas, having played as a right midfielder and centre-back across the 2024/25 season along with his natural position.

Semedo’s availability on a free transfer would make him a shrewd addition for the Red Devils, who will be desperate to improve on such a poor campaign. Perhaps Semedo having the same agent as Man United defender Leny Yoro may help them in getting the deal across the line.
