Fernandez "forced the palace" of Manchester United: Can the 70 million striker + Paris goalkeeper rush to the Dream Theater?

4:55pm, 5 August 2025【Football】

August 5 - Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandez publicly "yelled" to the club after the US training, hoping that the management would sign 1-2 high-level new players before the transfer window closed to increase the intensity of competition within the team. Manchester United has now won Mattus Cunha, Brian Mbemo and 18-year-old Brazilian teenager Diego Leon, but the dismal ranking of No. 15 in the Premier League has made the Portuguese midfielder worried. Fernandez said bluntly that the team's performance in the warm-up match was lazy and needed more powerful players to stimulate the competition for starting seats. "The club has done its best within the financial framework, and it will be perfect if there are two more people."

For the front line, Manchester United and Newcastle are competing for RB Leipzig scorer Benjamin Cesco. The 20-year-old Slovenian international is worth 70 million pounds. The Red Devils have negotiated personal terms with the players first and are about to finalize the transfer fee with the Bundesliga club. With Josésco joining, Manchester United is willing to let Hoylund go for £30 million. The alternative is Aston Villa ace Oli Watkins, who has a price of £60 million and a tough attitude, and Manchester United may be forced to meet the asking price at one time.

goalkeeper position is also the focus of strengthening. Paris Saint-Germain's national goalie Donaluma contract has one year left, and the deadlock in renewal has given Manchester United a chance to sign-free, but the club has not yet set a goalkeeper budget. The more economical option is John Victor of Botafogo, with a termination fee of only 6 million pounds, and the Red Devils have verbally promised to pay. In addition, Chelsea striker Nkunku is also seen as a potential signing. Chelsea is willing to sell for £35 million and may be included in the Ghanacho transaction offset, but Manchester United prefers a pure cash model to meet PSR.
