Manchester United have indicated interest in Australian defender Lucas Herrington, and scouts from the club have monitored him following an impressive World Cup campaign. United is one of several Premier League clubs pursuing the 18-year-old, as Liverpool, Everton, Aston Villa, and Newcastle have also monitored him. Additionally, Chelsea's owners, BlueCo, and Manchester City's parent company, City Football Group, have held discussions about the teenager. Barcelona has also shown interest in the Colorado Rapids player, who is being tracked by other European clubs including Bayern Munich and Ajax. According to sources, intermediaries representing Herrington are now in talks with a number of interested clubs. The Colorado Rapids are willing to sell for a suitable offer and would also accept a deal that allows Herrington to stay in Major League Soccer on loan for another 12 months; this option is believed to appeal to several interested clubs. Herrington has 6 caps for Australia, is under contract until December 2029, and has made 15 appearances in the 2025/2026 Major League Soccer season, scoring one goal. In June 2026, it was reported that Colorado Rapids rejected a €10 million bid from FC Barcelona; the club had acquired him from Brisbane Roar in January 2026 for a reported €450,000.
