This summer saw Manchester United make some massive waves in the transfer market with some really big signings.
The signing of Leny Yoro from LOSC Lille at the start of the summer sent a massive statement of their intent for the rest of the transfer window. The centre-back is deemed a “generational talent” and looked all set to move to Real Madrid, who Yoro wanted to play for, having no interest in the Premier League. However, United managed to swoop in and sign the 18-year-old for £52 million, convincing him of their project.
Then there’s Matthijs de Ligt, the 25-year-old with an insane career so far. The youngest captain in Ajax club history and the Champions League knockout phase at the age of 19, the 2018 Golden Boy winner, with three league titles and four domestic cup wins across Europe. Starting at Ajax, de Ligt has played for Juventus and Bayern Munich before now moving to Old Trafford, giving him a massive wealth of top-tier experience already.
This is not to mention the signings of Joshua Zirkzee, Noussair Mazraoui and Manuel Ugarte who between them have eight league titles, a Champions League trophy and ten domestic cups.

Now though, The Daily Mail have reported that United made moves for another big name in the form of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace.
Palace were convinced they’d be able to sell Eze this year, with interest from Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur. The 26-year-old has a £68 million release clause. However, it’s understood that Palace are open to lowering the conditions of Eze’s release clause next summer to support his exit.
The attacking midfielder is expected to want a move away from Palace to start playing more European football, however, no offers arrived for the star next summer.
With the England international entering the final year of his contract next summer, it’s expected that we’ll see him leave Palace at the very latest on deadline day next August.
