Manchester United reportedly missed the opportunity to sign German left-back Nathaniel Brown, who impressed by scoring on his World Cup debut for Germany in a dominant 7-1 victory over Curacao. Brown, currently with Eintracht Frankfurt, is now close to a €60 million move to Bayern Munich, despite being on United's target list.

Meanwhile, Manchester United is actively pursuing other transfer targets. Ederson, a midfielder from Atalanta, is expected to join for £38.8 million, and Mateus Fernandes from West Ham is also nearing a move to Old Trafford. These potential arrivals aim to fill the void left by Casemiro's impending free transfer to Inter Miami. The club also considers selling Manuel Ugarte, Andre Onana, and Marcus Rashford as part of their summer restructuring.
