Manchester United, operating under new technical leadership, have intensified their scouting activity this month.
Club officials have been engaged in discussions across Spain and Germany, with a focus on both returning players and long-term midfield options.
Marcus Rashford return talks held with Barcelona
Manchester United have held talks with Barcelona regarding a potential return for Marcus Rashford from his loan spell in La Liga. The 28-year-old has delivered eight goals and 11 assists in 29 appearances for the Catalan side this season.
According to FootballTransfers, Barcelona remain interested in keeping Rashford permanently but may struggle to trigger the €35 million buy option due to ongoing financial restrictions.
Manchester United are now assessing the possibility of reintegrating the forward into Michael Carrick’s squad for next season.
United scout Mikel Oyarzabal
Manchester United scouts were in attendance at Real Sociedad’s recent match against Barcelona to monitor Mikel Oyarzabal.
The Spain international, who can operate across the forward line, has been on United’s radar for several months.
FootballTransfers report that Oyarzabal has a €75 million release clause in his contract and is viewed as a possible summer target.
Aston Villa are also tracking the versatile attacker, who has made more than 400 appearances for Real Sociedad.
Yan Diomande to cost €100 million
RB Leipzig managing director Oliver Mintzlaff has confirmed that any club hoping to sign Yan Diomande will need to pay €100 million.
The 19-year-old midfielder has emerged as one of Europe’s brightest young talents following his breakthrough Bundesliga season.
The Athletic report that both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are monitoring the Ivory Coast international, while Bayern Munich are also interested.
Mateus Fernandes linked to Manchester United
Manchester United are among several clubs following the situation of West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes. The 21-year-old has impressed this season and could be sold if the Hammers’ relegation clause in his contract is activated.
SportsBoom report that Fernandes has attracted interest from both Manchester United and Manchester City.
Michael Carrick is said to view the Portuguese midfielder as an ideal long-term partner for Kobbie Mainoo, offering balance, energy, and creativity in midfield.
