Manchester United Transfer News: De Ligt Wants Move, Sancho’s Future, Ronaldo’s Demand, and a Collapsed Deal

Here are the latest transfer updates from Manchester United, covering key potential signings and exits, including Matthijs de Ligt, Denzel Dumfries, and Ivan Toney.

De Ligt Pushing for Quick Move to Man Utd

Bayern Munich defender Matthijs de Ligt is eager to join Manchester United “as soon as possible,” according to Football Insider. The Dutch center-back has reportedly told close friends he wants the deal to be completed quickly. Transfer negotiations have been ongoing between the two clubs, but United have been hesitant to meet Bayern’s €50 million asking price.

A key factor in the deal appears to be Jonathan Tah’s potential transfer to Bayern from Bayer Leverkusen, which would allow De Ligt to move to Old Trafford. The player remains “very keen” for the transfer to go through soon.

Dumfries Eyeing Man Utd Move

While Manchester United’s top right-back target remains Noussair Mazraoui, interest in Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries is still alive, reports The Athletic. David Ornstein suggests that Dumfries, 28, is particularly interested in a move to Manchester United.

However, this transfer could depend on Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s decision. If Wan-Bissaka finalizes a move to West Ham, Dumfries may become a viable option. An agreement between West Ham and United is in place, but personal terms with Wan-Bissaka still need to be settled.

Ronaldo Wants Antony at Al-Nassr

Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly pushing for Manchester United winger Antony to join him at Al-Nassr, according to Football Insider. The former Red Devils star is using his influence to encourage the Saudi Pro League club to sign Antony, a player United are looking to offload after a disappointing season.

Antony, who was signed for €95 million, managed just two Premier League goals and one assist last season, making him a potential target for a transfer away from Old Trafford.
