Manchester United are plotting another thrilling summer transfer window, with a journalist claiming up to eight players could arrive at Old Trafford to give Michael Carrick one of the best squads in the world.<\/p>\n
Summer 2025 went brilliantly for Man Utd<\/a>, as they signed Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo to transform their attack, while also bringing in Senne Lammens as their new goalkeeper. Those four players have all played important roles in United improving under Carrick and qualifying for next season\u2019s Champions League.<\/p>\n The fact United have returned to Europe\u2019s premier club competition will give them a better chance of landing their main targets this summer.<\/p>\n Having sorted their forward line, United\u2019s next priority is bolstering their midfield, with Manuel Ugarte set to follow Casemiro out of Old Trafford.<\/p>\n But INEOS must also bolster several other areas of Carrick\u2019s squad. And transfer reporter Ben Jacobs has suggested as many as eight new players could be captured in an astonishing window.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think you try and break a certain number, you just have to think about your budget,\u201d he told The United Stand<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just whether they feel like they\u2019re getting value for money, because when you\u2019re doing six, seven, eight signings in a window, there\u2019s a chance that you get a bit fleeced if you\u2019re not careful in the market.<\/p>\n \u201cI know people will say, \u2018I just want a number, I want to know that Man United will spend \u00a3110m on Sandro Tonali<\/a>\u2018, but it\u2019s not that simple.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ll spend above that or below that if they see value in the deal.\u201d<\/p>\n Atalanta midfielder Ederson<\/a> is poised to become the first signing of Carrick\u2019s permanent spell in charge.<\/p>\n We confirmed on Wednesday that United are \u2018advancing\u2019 in talks with Atalanta<\/a> as they push to snare Ederson for \u00a338m.<\/p>\n Personal terms are already in place, with United adding the final details to the Brazilian\u2019s new contract.<\/p>\n According to Italian source Tuttomercatoweb, the Red Devils will \u2018further pursue\u2019 Newcastle United star Tonali<\/a> once the Ederson deal is finalised.<\/p>\n Man Utd know Elliot Anderson is close to joining rivals Manchester City and instead want Tonali to partner Ederson in midfield next season.<\/p>\n TMW\u00a0reported over the weekend that United are \u2018close to reaching an agreement\u2019 with Newcastle for Tonali<\/a>, who is rated at \u20ac100m (\u00a387m).<\/p>\n In addition to Tonali, West Ham United\u2019s Mateus Fernandes is another key midfield target for Carrick\u2019s side.<\/p>\n
