Manchester United contemplates defensive overhaul in summer transfer window

Posted : 19 January 2024

Manchester United is reportedly considering defensive reshuffling in the upcoming summer, with plans underway for the transfer window. The club is awaiting Premier League ratification of INEOS chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe's 25% stake, expected in February. Despite ongoing developments, football director John Murtough and manager Erik ten Hag are already focusing on summer plans, including potential changes in the defensive lineup.

 

Raphaël Varane's future is uncertain as the club opted not to trigger a one-year contract extension, making him a possible free agent in June. Contract expirations of players like Jonny Evans, and potential departures of Victor Lindelöf and Harry Maguire if lucrative offers arrive, have led to discussions about defensive adjustments. United is reportedly interested in talents like Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton), Matthijs de Ligt (Bayern Munich), Jean-Clair Todibo (Nice), and Sacha Boey (Galatasaray).

 

In anticipation of the summer transfer window, United is closely monitoring players whose contracts expire in June 2025, following a strategy similar to the signing of Mason Mount last summer. Denying claims of Anthony Martial's alleged exile and solitary training by Ten Hag, a source clarified that the Frenchman, recovering from illness and injury, remains part of the team's plans. While Martial's contract expires in the summer, he is expected to stay with United beyond the transfer deadline on Feb. 1.
