90min reports on the potential transfer of James McAtee following his omission from Manchester City's Club World Cup squad. James McAtee has been omitted from Manchester City’s travelling squad for the 2025 Club World Cup. Manchester United, along with Tottenham Hotspur and Leeds United, have shown interest in McAtee. The speculation is fueled by his exclusion from the squad and the potential midfield rejuvenation at Manchester City. If McAtee were to move to Manchester United, it would be the first direct transfer between the two clubs since 1996.

James McAtee has been excluded from Manchester City's Club World Cup list, which could be a turning point in the future of the talented English midfielder. Despite a hat-trick in the FA Cup and some convincing appearances in the Premier League, McAtee will not be part of City's world expedition. This decision has piqued the interest of several clubs, including Manchester United. A potential transfer to city rivals would be sensational but currently seems unlikely due to the emotional and symbolic impact it would entail.

James McAtee has been excluded from Manchester City's Club World Cup squad, leading to speculation regarding his future. Reports indicate that he has become a target for Manchester United this summer. Since joining City in 2013, McAtee has been a rotation player this season, netting seven goals in 27 appearances. With Manchester City's abundance of attacking options and manager Pep Guardiola planning to sign other players, McAtee could be available for transfer. The Mail reports that he is unlikely to play for City again, as Guardiola appears satisfied without him for the club tournament in America. McAtee's contract runs until 2026, leaving City with the decision to either extend his contract or sell him before he becomes a free agent. Guardiola had previously expressed a wish for McAtee to remain with the team but noted that the player requires more game time.

Manchester United are hoping to lure James McAtee away from Manchester City. McAtee has impressed for City in his limited appearances this season and is in search of regular game time as he enters the final year of his contract. United will face competition from Milan, Newcastle, and Nottingham Forest.
