We have the latest on Manchester United’s transfer plans, including a possible move for Marc Casado.

Manchester United are expected to be active in the transfer market again this summer, with caretaker manager Michael Carrick aiming to steady the ship ahead of the 2026-27 season.

The club are weighing up several moves, including a potential swap deal involving Manuel Ugarte, a young Barcelona target, and an experienced Premier League midfielder who could bring leadership and depth to the squad.

Manuel Ugarte could make way for Sunderland midfielder Noah Sadiki

Manuel Ugarte has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter this season, and a swap move away could pave the way for fresh faces, according to GiveMeSport.

Noah Sadiki, the 21-year-old Belgian, has caught the eye since moving to Sunderland from Union SG, and United see him as someone who could add defensive discipline and versatility.

The club’s plan is to continue building a squad focused on youth and long-term development. Sadiki’s tactical awareness and energy fit the type of midfielder they want to integrate into their evolving side.

Barcelona’s Marc Casado could join Manchester United

Marc Casado has impressed with his composure on the ball and ability to control play from deep.

According to Mundo Deportivo in Spain, United scouts have been tracking him for some time, and Atletico Madrid are also said to be interested.

However, United appear more serious in their pursuit as they look to add depth and competition in midfield.

Wilfred Ndidi on United’s radar

Wilfred Ndidi is currently playing in Turkey for Besiktas and is well known for his consistency, tackling, and experience in the Premier League.

According to talkSPORT, United value his work rate and believe he could offer stability alongside the club’s younger midfielders.

While no formal talks have taken place yet, United are expected to monitor Ndidi’s situation closely and could return with interest later in the summer if other midfield targets become unavailable.
