Manchester United remain active in the transfer market as plans for the summer window begin to take shape under interim manager Michael Carrick.
The club are continuing to assess potential signings to strengthen key areas of the squad ahead of the 2026/27 season.
Reports across Europe suggest that United’s recruitment team are prioritising midfield reinforcements and long-term squad stability.
Here’s the latest round-up of Manchester United’s biggest transfer stories, featuring developments on Elliot Anderson, Casemiro, Mile Svilar, and Joao Gomes.
Casemiro contract clause revealed
The Athletic reports that Casemiro’s contract at Manchester United includes an option for a one-year extension if he starts 35 matches in all competitions this season.
The clause would automatically extend his current deal to 2027 on the same terms.
With United playing a reduced fixture schedule this year, it remains uncertain whether the 33-year-old will meet the required appearance count.
His future is expected to be reviewed at the end of the season as the club looks to reshape its midfield options.
Manchester United interested in Elliot Anderson
According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United are considering a move for Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson.
The 23-year-old has impressed this season and is viewed as a strong option to add energy and creativity to United’s midfield.
Scouts have also been monitoring Forest defender Murillo, though the Brazilian is being assessed separately and is not part of any linked deal.
United’s focus remains on midfield depth, and Anderson is seen as a realistic summer target given his potential and domestic experience.
Mile Svilar operation faces Chelsea competition
Manchester United’s pursuit of Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar faces strong competition from Chelsea, according to CaughtOffside.
The Serbian shot-stopper, valued at around €60 million, has attracted interest from multiple Premier League sides following an impressive season so far under Gian Piero Gasperini.
United view Svilar as a potential long-term option to provide depth in the goalkeeping department.
United handed boost in Joao Gomes pursuit
Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes remains on United’s radar, with the club reportedly receiving a boost in their pursuit of the Brazilian.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News, Napoli are also interested, but Gomes prefers to remain in England next season.
Wolves are expected to demand around £43 million (€50m) for the 24-year-old if they face relegation this season. United’s recruitment team continue to monitor his situation closely as part of a wider midfield rebuild strategy.
