Manchester United pursue multiple transfer targets ahead of summer window

Manchester United have sent scouts to the 2026 World Cup to monitor Uruguayan left‑back Maximiliano Araujo, who carries an €80 million release clause at Sporting CP. The club see him as a potential replacement for ageing left‑back Luke Shaw.

At the same time, United’s interest in West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville has received a boost after the Hammers agreed to sign Leicester striker Abdul Fatawu as a replacement. Summerville, a 22‑year‑old who recorded five goals and four assists this season, is linked with a £50 million fee, while Fatawu is valued between £15‑20 million. United are also linked with other targets such as Mateus Fernandes, but the focus remains on strengthening the squad for domestic and European challenges.
