Murillo Transfer from Nottingham Forest to Manchester United
Manchester United have reacted to Lisandro Martinez’s latest injury setback by drawing up a list of summer centre-back targets headlined by Nottingham Forest’s Murillo. Murillo is Man Utd’s top option ahead of the summer window, and the mentality of the 23-year-old Brazilian is particularly admired at Old Trafford. Murillo is seen as an ideal combination of youth and Premier League experience and this follows the same type of logic that saw the club sign Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo from Wolves and Brentford respectively in 2025, in transfers that have proven a success. It is added that the former Corinthians player is seen as the type of player who can perform well in important matches, without the complications that come with more well-known players.
