8 players who could join Manchester United this summer 2024
Manchester United is gearing up for an eventful summer transfer window under the direction of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is keen on asserting his influence at Old Trafford.
With newfound control over football operations, the Red Devils are poised to make significant moves in the market to bridge the gap with their rivals, including Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal.
Following a tumultuous 2023-24 season, Ratcliffe recognizes the need for a transfer overhaul to propel United back to the summit of football. A plethora of players have been linked with potential moves to Manchester United, with OperaNews highlighting 8 stars who could join Manchester United ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.
8. Jarrad Branthwaite – Everton
Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton emerges as a top priority for Manchester United in the center-back position according to skysport. Sources indicate that the Red Devils are prepared to make a substantial investment to secure the services of the 21-year-old defender, with Everton likely to demand a fee in the region of £75 million.
7. Bremer – Juventus
Additionally, Bremer from Juventus presents another viable option for Manchester United’s defense. With Juventus seeking to raise funds for their own squad revamp, United holds a keen interest in the rapid center-back, who is valued at approximately €60 million.
6. Jean-Clair Todibo – OGC Nice
Currently showcasing his talent at OGC Nice, Jean-Clair Todibo’s potential move to Manchester United seems plausible, especially given the club’s ownership by Ratcliffe. If Raphael Varane departs, Todibo, the promising Frenchman, could step in to fill the gap.
5. Joshua Kimmich -Bayern Munich
Reports from ESPN suggest that Joshua Kimmich is on Manchester United’s radar this summer as they seek to bolster their midfield in light of Casemiro’s advancing years. With Bayern Munich facing managerial uncertainties, United may find an opportune moment to pursue the highly regarded Kimmich.
4. Joao Neves – Benfica
The highly touted Joao Neves, admired by Bruno Fernandes, has been on Manchester United’s radar for nearly a year. However, Benfica’s hefty asking price poses a challenge for Erik ten Hag’s side in securing the talented youngster’s services.
3. Joao Gomes – Wolverhampton
Impressive performances at Wolverhampton Wanderers have thrust Joao Gomes into consideration as a potential replacement for Casemiro according to GOAL. Manchester United’s interest is evident, with Gomes’ recent international debut for Brazil further fueling speculation of a summer move.
2. Michael Olise – Crystal Palace
Manchester United’s pursuit of Michael Olise as their priority right-wing target underscores their ambition to reinforce the squad. Despite injury setbacks, Olise’s stellar display in Crystal Palace’s victory over United in May has only intensified the club’s interest.
1. Ivan Toney: Brentford
With rumors that, Thomas Frank on Manchester United’s shortlist to potentially replace Ten Hag, Ivan Toney emerges as a logical transfer target. The English striker could fill the void left by Anthony Martial’s impending departure, offering a promising solution up front.

EPL: He needs help – Peter Schmeichel worried about Man United star
Former Manchester United goalkeeper, Peter Schmeichel has said the club’s youngster, Kobbie Mainoo needs “a bit of help.”
This is following the club’s disappointing run of form.
Mainoo, 19, has enjoyed a stellar breakout season at Old Trafford during the ongoing 2023-24 football campaign.
He has established himself as a regular under manager Erik ten Hag, making 29 appearances across all competitions.
He has been one of United’s best performers in a disappointing campaign.
“The questions being asked of Mainoo this season is just ridiculous for a young player,” he said on Premier League Productions.
To have to carry the team and have responsibility. He needs a bit of help and I don’t think Amrabat (re-starting with Mainoo in midfield v Arsenal) is that help. I think he is struggling on his own.”
Rasmus Hojlund won’t become Aguero, Haaland – Gary Neville tells Man United
Former Manchester United star, Gary Neville has told the club’s fans to perish the hope that striker, Rasmus Hojlund will one day become a gifted Premier League striker like Sergio Aguero or Erling Haaland.
He, however, said the player could develop into a 20-goal-a-season striker like Ollie Watkins.
Hojlund left Italian Serie A side, Atalanta to join the Red Devils last summer and has been the club’s first-choice striker this season.
But Neville thinks it would have been better if the 21-year-old played as a back-up behind a more experienced striker.
He has managed 14 goals and provided two assists in 40 games for the Red Devils this season and is currently going through a rough patch.
“I looked at Ollie Watkins before. He’s not going to become a Haaland or an Aguero, one of the great strikers in Premier League history, I don’t think.
But he can become an Ollie Watkins. You can look at someone like that, I think I can get to 20 goals,” he told Sky Sports.
“I wish he was the second striker this season. I wish he was learning.”
