Manchester United’s 2024/25 campaign has spiralled into one of their most underwhelming seasons in recent memory.
Despite early optimism and the arrival of Ruben Amorim to inject fresh energy into the squad, the club has faltered domestically and struggled to establish consistency across all competitions.
With key players underperforming and an alarming lack of cohesion on the pitch, United have been left chasing shadows as the season nears its conclusion.
Veterans such as Casemiro and Christian Eriksen are facing uncertain futures, while the club is actively preparing for a summer exodus that could see several high earners and fringe players depart.
As INEOS prepares for their first full transfer window in control, a rebuild feels inevitable.
Now, journalist Andy Mitten has added fuel to the transfer speculation by revealing a significant detail on the Talk of the Devils podcast.
“I know Manchester United are looking at one player,” Andy Mitten said, “but he’s paid a fortune.”
Though Mitten didn’t disclose a name, the suggestion is that United’s recruitment team is pursuing a high-profile, high-earning target—one that could prove costly in terms of wages.

This aligns with recent speculation surrounding players such as Victor Osimhen, who has long been linked with the club.
Another possible candidate is Matheus Cunha, who was reported to have agreed personal terms with the Red Devils.
Benjamin Sesko, Liam Delap and Tyler Dibling are but a few signings United are targeting in the upcoming transfer window.
What’s clear is that Amorim and INEOS are focusing on quality over quantity this summer.
The plan is to trim the wage bill, offload aging players, and bring in individuals who match the manager’s pressing style and tactical discipline.
Manchester United will look to prioritise certain positions over others and these are areas United have lacked consistency in this season.
While United continue to scout younger talents with potential resale value, the pursuit of a big-money target indicates they are not entirely abandoning experienced profiles.
Mitten’s comments may not confirm who United are after, but they underline the scale of their ambition—and the risks they’re willing to take to return to the top.
