Manchester United pursues midfield and defensive signings ahead of summer window

Manchester United are reported to be targeting two high‑profile players as they reshape their squad for the upcoming season. The club is weighing a bid of around £80 million for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali, whose contract runs until 2029 and who could become available after Newcastle miss Champions League qualification. United see Tonali’s defensive tenacity and ball‑playing ability as a fit for their midfield needs.

United are also monitoring Juventus centre‑back Bremer, a 29‑year‑old Brazilian international valued at about €48.5 million. Bremer, described by Italian media as a player “in a hurry” to win silverware before his career peaks, could leave Turin if Juventus fail to secure Champions League football. Both clubs are expected to make “the right offer” to secure the players, with United having the financial muscle to meet the asking prices.

These potential moves illustrate United’s intent to bolster both the midfield and defensive lines to compete domestically and in Europe.
