Following the devastating 2024/25 season, Manchester United have run riot in the summer transfer window ahead of the start of the much-awaited 2025/26 season. The Red Devils have immensely improved the squad by roping in attackers like Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko. However, as per the Manchester Evening News, Ruben Amorim and Co. are not yet done when it comes to signing players.

As per MEN, United are in contention to acquire the services of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma from PSG but to have him onboard, United might have to sell the current number 1, Andre Onana. Hence, the club is more inclined towards signing a midfielder. Nevertheless, if a situation arises when Onana gets sold, then they would have to bring in a new replacement, and there is no one better available in the market than Donnarumma.
