With the summer transfer window fast approaching, Manchester United appear poised for a potentially active period of squad reshuffling. Among the names being linked to the club is Wolves forward Matheus Cunha, with speculation growing around a possible move to Old Trafford.
Cunha is just one of several players reportedly on United’s radar, as transfer rumors have been circulating in recent weeks. Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim and his team are gearing up for the upcoming season, and those preparations are expected to include significant transfer activity.
Without European competition next season, it’s unclear how much business United can realistically complete, but transfer plans remain in motion. The Manchester Evening News has rounded up some of the latest updates from the past 24 hours.
Hugo Ekitike on United’s Radar
According to Caught Offside, Manchester United are interested in signing Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt. The striker is also being monitored by Premier League rivals Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle, and Chelsea. Reports suggest Frankfurt value the former PSG player at approximately £84 million.
While United are tracking Ekitike’s situation, no final decision has been made regarding a formal approach.
MEN Sport comments: United’s intent to bolster their forward line, particularly the centre-forward role, has been evident for some time. With Ekitike attracting wide interest, it’s unsurprising that he’s under consideration for a move to Old Trafford.
Interest in Burnley Goalkeeper
United are also said to be eyeing Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford. Trafford played a key role in Burnley’s promotion to the Premier League, recording an impressive 29 clean sheets in the Championship.
Give Me Sport reports that Trafford is being looked at as a potential replacement for Andre Onana. However, there’s no indication yet of Burnley’s asking price for the 21-year-old.
MEN Sport adds: Given the ongoing uncertainty around Onana’s future, United’s pursuit of a new goalkeeper isn’t surprising. Should a deal be reached, Trafford’s performance in the Premier League and at a high-profile club like United would be closely watched.
