🚨💥 Three Transfer Wins in One Window for United – Newcastle Left Frustrated.
Manchester United have pulled off what many are calling the biggest triple swoop of the summer, securing Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and now Benjamin Šeško – three players who were also on Newcastle United’s radar. All three opted for Old Trafford instead, leaving Eddie Howe’s recruitment team facing questions about their pulling power in this transfer market.
United’s aggressive approach under sporting director Dan Ashworth has been decisive. Cunha, signed from Wolves, is seen as the dynamic forward to complement Rasmus Højlund. Mbeumo brings Premier League-proven creativity and versatility, arriving from Brentford despite heavy interest from Newcastle. And Šeško, the highly coveted RB Leipzig striker, is arguably the crown jewel – a long-term attacking option who chose United’s project over the Magpies’ push.
For Newcastle, the frustration is clear. These were all identified targets to strengthen their squad ahead of a tough season balancing domestic and European competition. Sources close to the club say they believed they had strong chances with at least two of the three deals, but United’s financial muscle, global prestige, and immediate guarantees of key roles proved too tempting for the players.
The question now is whether Newcastle will strike back in the market or risk losing further top targets. Howe’s side still have funds to spend and are actively scouting alternatives, but with several rivals also active late in the window, they may have to move quickly.
United, meanwhile, have sent a message to the league: they’re back to doing big business – and winning transfer battles against top-six rivals. For Newcastle, it’s a reminder that Champions League qualification alone may not be enough to win the most competitive transfer races.
The ball is now firmly in the Magpies’ court. Will they respond, or watch another name
slip away?
