Report: Man Utd now on red alert to sign £51m ‘outstanding footballer’ for free in January – he’s perfect to replace Marcus Rashford

Due to this, Ineos are now looking at options to bolster Manchester United’s ranks in January and beyond.

Diego Leon looks set to be signing number one of 2025, with the deal thought to be all but completed. He could be joined by 18-year-old Norwegian talent Sverre Nypan who is a long-term United target.

Nuno Mendes has been the subject of a bid to bolster Amorim’s wing-back options. But now a potential bargain of the decade could be presenting itself to United in January to replace Marcus Rashford.
