The latest transfer rumours surrounding Manchester United include a new link to an emerging United States international, Peyton Miller. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 31 possible arrivals and 6 potential exits, with the hottest storyline right now concerning Barcelona's Alejandro Balde. The items below represent the latest news on the most important transfer rumours.
Peyton Miller
On Tuesday, it was reported that Manchester United is one of several leading English and European clubs tracking 18-year-old Peyton Miller. Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester City are also said to be monitoring the New England Revolution left-back. Representatives from all five Premier League clubs, along with Barcelona, were reportedly present in Arizona to watch Miller's senior international debut for the United States. This summer, Miller signed a new long-term contract with New England Revolution that could extend to 2030, and the club does not intend to actively seek a transfer. It is understood that Miller is very happy in New England and is focused on his development, with no suggestion that he is actively trying to secure a move.
Luka Vušković
According to a Monday report from fussball-news, Man Utd, Liverpool, and Real Madrid are all interested in signing 19-year-old Croatian center back Luka Vušković from Brighton & Hove Albion. Vušković joined Brighton in July 2026, and his contract is valid until 2031. The defender has 9 caps and 1 goal for Croatia.
Endrick
Real Madrid are willing to consider proposals for a January loan for Endrick, but only if it is a straight loan with no option to buy, according to a Team Talk report on Monday. This type of arrangement is reportedly not what is sought by English clubs. Earlier, Calciomercato reported that Real Madrid were becoming more open to the idea of allowing Endrick to leave on loan in January amid interest from Man Utd.
David Raum
On Tuesday, Fraser Fletcher reported that David Raum could be signed for around £30m in January, while Fabrizio Romano described him as a player to watch amid Manchester United interest. Last Thursday, TEAMtalk reported that Manchester United are expected to renew their interest in the RB Leipzig captain, and that the German international is keen on a move to Old Trafford. Sources claimed David Raum has approved a potential switch if the club’s interest develops.
Alejandro Balde
According to Mundo Deportivo on Tuesday, Hansi Flick would insist on signing a new central defender if Alejandro Balde leaves FC Barcelona in the winter. This followed a Saturday report from TEAMtalk that Barcelona are ready to allow Balde to leave on loan in January, and Manchester United have been spoken to about a potential deal. The report added that Balde’s camp and intermediaries are working on options away from Catalunya, and sources separately confirmed that Barcelona has given the defender permission to explore a move elsewhere.
Micky van de Ven
Manchester United have made Micky van de Ven their primary defensive target for the next transfer window, according to Pete O’Rourke of Football Insider on Monday. It was reported that while Manchester United want to sign the defender in the January window, there is almost no chance a deal will be made at that time as Tottenham have no intention of selling. O’Rourke stated that van de Ven is satisfied at Tottenham and has no plans to seek a departure in January, though a summer transfer is a possibility. According to CaughtOffside, the transfer is estimated to cost between £80m and £90m.
Jules Koundé
Barcelona are yet to receive any formal offers for 27-year-old Jules Kounde, and it is understood they currently have no interest in selling him at any price, as of Tuesday. However, it was also reported that Kounde could push for a move if he fails to regain a place in the starting XI, which may change Barca’s stance. On Monday, SPORT reported that Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City and Man Utd are all monitoring the defender as he continues to get limited playing time at Camp Nou.
