Big changes are on the horizon at Manchester United as we head into 2026. Ruben Amorim, who has been in charge for more than a year, has led the team to a series of impressive performances this season. The summer transfer window saw an influx of new talent, with the likes of Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesco and Brian Mbeumo joining the Red Devils.
And the January transfer window looks set to be just as busy. Joshua Zirkzee, Koby Mainu and Casemiro have all been linked with a move away from Old Trafford, and it is expected that deals could be finalized in the coming weeks. As we head into the new year, we bring you all the latest news from Old Trafford.
Details of McTominay’s return revealed
According to CaughtOffside, the Red Devils are interested in bringing Scott McTominay back to Old Trafford.
The midfielder, who currently plays for Napoli, left United last summer and has since been active in Italy, playing alongside Rasmus Heylund.
McTominay played a key role in Antonio Conte’s side winning the Serie A title last season, establishing himself as one of Europe’s top midfielders.
There is no doubt that Napoli want McTominay to stay, but they are reportedly open to offers in the region of £60 million.
Not only was his performance with Napoli outstanding, he was also named Serie A Player of the Year for his key role in their championship-winning season.
With Casemiro, Koby Mainu and possibly Bruno Fernandes set to leave the club in 2026, bringing McTominay back into the squad would be a smart move.
Transfer confirmed
United have officially announced the signing of Lea Schuller from Bayern Munich.
The versatile striker has signed a contract until the summer of 2029 and will officially join the Red Devils on January 1st.
Having scored over 100 goals for the German giants and 54 goals in 82 international appearances, she brings a wealth of experience to the squad.
Matt Johnson, Director of Women’s Football at Manchester United, said: “Leah’s scoring record is phenomenal and her style of play will add an exciting new dimension to our attack. We are delighted to be able to add a player of her pedigree to our group.”
“Lee’s winning mentality and experience will really help our young and ambitious team grow together and continue to compete in national and European competitions.”
Schuller himself was equally keen on the move, saying: “From my first conversations with Marc and the club, the ambitions of everyone here have been very clear. I still have a lot of things I want to achieve in my career and I know Manchester United is the perfect club to join.”
“I feel that the team’s style of football really suits my game. I hope that my qualities and experience will help me achieve my goals both in England and in the Champions League.”
