Manchester United’s midfield rebuild continues to dominate the off-season conversation, with Ruben Amorim believed to be pushing for reinforcements ahead of pre-season.
With a lacklustre 2024/25 campaign still fresh in memory—missing out on Europe while conceding uncharacteristic goals—United’s recruitment has shifted into high gear.
The club have already moved early on key targets, but debate rages over whether Amorim needs a dominant passer or a dynamic box-to-box presence as his pivot.

Former Manchester United players are also eyeing transfers during this summer’s window.
Enter Everton, who are reportedly lining up a summer bid for Former Manchester United and current Fenerbahce midfield ace Fred.

Fred has two years left on his contract with Fenerbahce—running until 2027—and the Turkish club are understood to be demanding at least €18 million in transfer fee .
Everton, managed by David Moyes, view Fred as a priority to reinforce their midfield, seeing him as the missing piece in their push to climb the league table .
The deal is reportedly being fast-tracked.

Bringing in a player who’s thrived in England before and matured abroad would dovetail perfectly with Everton’s ambition—especially with David Moyes at the helm.
Fred’s leadership, tenacity and passing range have been lauded throughout Turkey.
His arrival would provide stability alongside a more creative presence.
Fred could soon find himself walking out at Old Trafford once again, but this time not as a Red Devil.
Should the move go through, it would set up a reunion of sorts with his former club, but from the opposing dugout and in a very different jersey colour.
For United fans, it would be a nostalgic sight seeing Fred back on English soil, only this time as a rival looking to disrupt the very team he once fought for.
