New striker signed, Mbeumo agreement, Gyokeres arrival, Chelsea demands Garnacho Plus £60m for their Key player”, Latest Man United done deals as INEOS working so hard to complete another THREE major signings tomorrow
A whirlwind day at Old Trafford saw multiple breaking developments confirmed during an official Manchester United press conference this afternoon. The club, now operating under INEOS sporting control, are moving decisively in the transfer market as they prepare for a defining summer rebuild under Erik ten Hag.
✅ New Striker Signed
United officials confirmed the signing of a new striker, whose name is set to be revealed within the next 24 hours once international clearance is secured. Sporting director Dan Ashworth described the forward as “a dynamic, clinical presence in front of goal” and a “key piece in United’s new-look attack” for the 2025/26 campaign.
“We’ve secured a striker with a proven record at the highest level, someone we believe will thrive in the Premier League and suit Erik ten Hag’s system perfectly,” Ashworth told reporters.
📝 Mbeumo Agreement Reached
In another major breakthrough, Manchester United confirmed that they have reached an agreement with Brentford for winger Bryan Mbeumo. The Cameroonian international, who netted 17 goals and 9 assists last season, is expected to undergo a medical tomorrow ahead of a formal unveiling. Personal terms have reportedly been agreed on a five-year deal.
“Bryan is a player we’ve admired for some time,” Ashworth added. “His versatility, work rate, and goal threat will give us valuable options in attack.”
🔜 Viktor Gyökeres Deal Advances
United also confirmed that a deal for Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres is progressing positively. Despite initial reports that United pulled out of the race, sources revealed today that fresh negotiations were reopened late last night. Sporting’s £68 million release clause remains in place, and United are believed to be exploring structured payment options to finalize the signing in the coming days.
💥 Chelsea Demand Garnacho Plus £60m for Key Player
Perhaps the most dramatic moment of the press conference came when Ashworth confirmed that Chelsea have made an audacious demand in ongoing transfer talks. The London club is willing to sell their unnamed “key player” — widely believed to be Cole Palmer — but only if United include Alejandro Garnacho in the deal, plus an additional £60 million in cash.
“It’s no secret we’ve admired their player’s qualities, but Alejandro is a vital part of our project. Unless terms drastically change, that proposal won’t be entertained,” Ashworth firmly stated.
🔒 Latest Done Deals
United also officially confirmed the following completed transfers:
New 29-goal winger signed on a five-year deal
Young defensive midfielder from Ligue 1 club Lens secured on a four-year deal
Backup goalkeeper deal finalised after Dean Henderson’s exit to Newcastle
🚨 INEOS Targeting THREE Major Signings Tomorrow
To cap off the busy day, Ashworth revealed that INEOS are working tirelessly to wrap up three more major signings by tomorrow evening, with final negotiations underway for:
A top European centre-back
An experienced box-to-box midfielder
An explosive wide forward to complete Ten Hag’s new attacking unit
“Tomorrow will be decisive for this club’s transfer window. Our ambition is clear — we want to build a team capable of competing for major honours again,” Ashworth concluded.
With pre-season just weeks away, United’s transfer business is far from finished, and fans can expect more blockbuster announcements imminently.
