Man Utd Transfers Latest: 24yo left-back explored, Collyer exits & academy starlet joins Arsenal

Manchester United have just two days left to put the finishing touches on their squad for the 2026-27 season.

The Red Devils smashed Ipswich Town 5-2 earlier today, but the emphatic victory did little to disguise their worrying defensive frailties.

Here is the latest look at where United currently stand in the transfer market.

Ian Maatsen setback

United have reportedly explored a move for Ian Maatsen, but their hopes appear to be fading as the left-back closes in on a new contract with Aston Villa.

The Villans are also unlikely to entertain offers for Maatsen after recently allowing Lucas Digne to leave for Paris Saint-Germain.

Luke Shaw endured another difficult afternoon against Ipswich, once again showing just how urgently United need to recruit a natural left-back.

Toby Collyer goodbye

United have officially confirmed the permanent departure of Toby Collyer to West Bromwich Albion.

The Red Devils will receive an initial £3 million, with the deal potentially rising to £7.6m depending on the add-ons.

United have also protected their future interests with a 40 per cent sell-on clause and a buy-back option should Collyer flourish at The Hawthorns.

Hull City and Middlesbrough were also keen to sign him.

Habeeb Ogunneye joins Arsenal

Habeeb Ogunneye has also completed a permanent move to the Arsenal academy.

The highly-rated young full-back spent more than a decade at Carrington, climbing through United’s youth ranks before eventually moving on.

Now 20, his departure reflects INEOS’ desire to create a clearer pathway for the next generation of teenage academy prospects.
