– There is speculation about the futures of goalkeepers David de Gea and Dean Henderson, especially with the signing of Andre Onana.

Signings and Departures
Manchester United have made a number of signings and departures during the summer transfer window. High-profile signings include Mason Mount and Andre Onana, as well as the return of Jonny Evans on a short-term deal.
The club is also working on a limited budget and has been raising funds through the interest of their players. Rasmus Hojlund’s move to United is getting closer and could be the club’s next signing.
Tom Heaton’s future at Manchester United was uncertain, with the goalkeeper linked with a move to Luton. However, the transfer was blocked and TalkSPORT confirms Heaton will stay at Old Trafford. Speculation is also growing about the futures of David de Gea and Dean Henderson, with the signing of Andre Onana suggesting Henderson may be leaving.
Atalanta’s friendly against Bournemouth was notable for the exclusion of Rasmus Hojlund, as the decision was made to avoid risks with the advanced deal for United. Fabrizio Romano reports the exclusion and suggests that Hojlund’s potential transfer is at an advanced stage.
Dean Henderson’s sale is complicated due to a clause in his contract, with Nottingham Forest wanting to re-sign the goalkeeper. Discussions between the clubs are ongoing but have been complicated by the appearance clause terms. Forest has proposed a loan-to-buy deal based on a number of matches played, but agreement has yet to be reached on the exact number of games and fee. United is holding out for £30m for Henderson’s transfer.
Lazio boss Maurizio Sarri has rejected signing Manchester United’s Fred, preferring instead to pursue Zielinski and Ricci. This has been confirmed by Lazio president, as the club looks to acquire the two players instead of Fred.
United have overpaid for Antony, paying £30m more than their initial valuation of £55m for the player. Antony’s performance in his debut season has been underwhelming, scoring eight goals and contributing three assists.
The club is also looking to sell six unwanted first-team players, including Harry Maguire, Scott McTominay, Fred, Donny van de Beek, Dean Henderson, and Anthony Martial. Sofyan Amrabat is valued at around £30m by Fiorentina.
Kobbie Mainoo’s ankle injury during the pre-season tour has also impacted United’s transfer plans, with the club potentially accelerating their interest in Sofyan Amrabat due to the injury.
Mason Greenwood’s potential return to the first team is still uncertain, with Adidas reportedly approving the return but the decision is exclusively between the club and its employees.
Finally, the Glazers are set to make an announcement on the club’s takeover saga, with developments expected after United’s pre-season tour. The announcement is expected next week and may not be positive for those wanting a sale.
Transfer Complications
Complications have arisen in various transfer negotiations this summer.
Tom Heaton’s return to Manchester United was blocked by Luton, while Nottingham Forest is keen to re-sign Dean Henderson but talks with United are complicated by appearance clause terms.
Lazio rejected signing Fred and United paid £30m over their initial valuation for Antony.
Moreover, United plans to sell six first-team players, but Mainoo’s injury may accelerate their interest in Sofyan Amrabat.
Finally, there is uncertainty surrounding the potential takeover of the club by Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Clearly, Manchester United’s summer transfer plans have been significantly complicated by numerous factors.
