Manchester United’s summer rebuild under Ruben Amorim is beginning to gather momentum, with the Portuguese tactician set to make big decisions around both incomings and outgoings.
Following a mixed campaign, several first-team players at Old Trafford could be on the move — with the futures of key stars like Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Antony still unresolved.
Alejandro Garnacho, who finished the 2024/25 season strongly, has been attracting interest across Europe.

Transfer talks have intensified in recent days, with United reportedly exploring creative options in the market, including potential swap deals to beat Financial Fair Play constraints.
One such deal could involve an unexpected target — as Christopher Nkunku’s name has resurfaced in connection with a switch to Old Trafford.
Despite a difficult season at Chelsea, Christopher Nkunku has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, and reports on Monday claimed Manchester United could offer Garnacho in a straight swap deal for the Frenchman.
Nkunku joined Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund in 2023 for £52 million but has failed to meet expectations, scoring just 14 goals and providing five assists in 43 appearances — most of which came in the UEFA Conference League.

He started only nine of his 27 Premier League games in the 2024/25 season and completed 90 minutes on just two occasions.
However, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca suggested on Monday that Nkunku could still have a future at the club.
“Christo is with us,” Maresca told reporters via The Standard. “He’s our player.”
“He’s doing very well in the last four, five days.
“For sure, tomorrow we are going to do rotation.
“We’ll see if there is any chance for the ones that are not playing a lot.”
Earlier this season, Maresca dropped Christopher Nkunku from a clash against Fulham, confirming: “No, it’s just a technical decision,” when asked if the attacker had been injured.
While Maresca’s latest comments hint at a possible reprieve, Manchester United are keeping a close eye on developments as the summer window unfolds.
