Liverpool and Manchester United outline squad moves and pre‑season plans for 2026‑27

Liverpool is preparing a major squad overhaul for the 2026‑27 season under new manager Andoni Iraola. The club has confirmed signings of 20‑year‑old defender Jeremy Jacquet and Spanish forward Victor Munoz, while confirming the likely departures of several senior players, including Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, Ibrahima Konaté and Rhys Williams. The void left by Salah and other exits has raised concerns about the team's attacking options, prompting speculation on further targets.

Manchester United’s pre‑season schedule for 2026‑27 has been set, with the first training camp beginning on 9 July. Players who participated in the 2026 World Cup will return later in July or August after a mandated four‑week break. United’s first friendly is on 18 July against Wrexham in Helsinki, followed by matches versus Rosenborg, Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint‑Germain, Leeds United and AC Milan before the Premier League campaign starts on 22 August.
