Manchester United transfer updates – via Q&A with insider Graeme Bailey.
The 2024/25 season has been an unfulfilling one for Manchester United, rooted in the bottom half of the Premier League table all season long.
And yet despite this, the transfer business conducted under Ineos in 2024 was largely productive, with deals for the likes of Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt proving to be solid additions to the team.
Upcoming is United’s first summer window under Ruben Amorim, and unlike last summer, the Ineos leadership team have had time to prepare for this one.
United in Focus are now catching up with transfer insider Graeme Bailey, who recently broke the news the Red Devils are eyeing German striker Jonathan Burkardt, to get the lowdown on all things Manchester United…

Manchester United’s striker plans
– Question: What is the current Manchester United outlook on a striker signing this coming summer?
The basics are that United want one new striker this summer – my understanding is that Ruben Amorim has made that clear to Jason Wilcox and the footballing department, and they agree.
Even if Zirkzee and Hojlund stay, which we will no doubt get onto, they need someone else.
They are doing their work on their best options – the scouting department, analysts along with Wilcox and Chistopher Vivell are working hard, they know after Hojlund and to a lesser extent Zirkzee, they can’t get this next one wrong.
Gyokeres, Osimhen, Vlahovic, Delap, Sesko, Burkhardt – all of the best striking talent, suitable for that lone role, are being looked at and worked on. I can confirm that. United are working hard on that.
