🚨 Clarity on Harry Maguire’s situation is expected in the coming weeks, but as things stand, Manchester United are leaning towards keeping the defender.

Finances should not be an issue as Maguire is keen to remain at the club. [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC]

🗣 @JacobsBen: "Players just don't move directly between Liverpool and Manchester United. I’m not aware of any developments regarding Alexis MacAllister potentially going to Old Trafford, and sources at Liverpool say a departure is very unlikely." [@UnitedStandMUFC]

"Other options could still emerge, but if United were to land their ideal midfield pairing, it would likely be two from that group. That said, they could miss out and need to turn to alternative targets." [@UnitedStandMUFC]
February 19, 2026 at 4:33 PM
🗣 @JacobsBen on midfield targets: "About two months ago there were 8–12 names under discussion, but now it feels like Manchester United have narrowed the list to Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton, and possibly Angelo Stiller and Sandro Tonali.

🚨 Manchester United and several other clubs are monitoring Eli Junior Kroupi ahead of the summer window. No approaches have been made yet, but his recent agent change suggests he could be preparing for a summer move. [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC]

🚨 Joshua Zirkzee is more likely to leave Manchester United this summer, with the club open to a sale.

United will aim to avoid making a loss, while there is interest from Serie A and Galatasaray have also recently shown interest. [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC]

By mid-March or early April, United expect to have a clearer idea of whether Carrick will be a genuine candidate or not. [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC]
February 19, 2026 at 4:03 PM
🚨 Manchester United appointed Michael Carrick as Head Coach rather than interim so he could be involved in all aspects of the club. However, he is not currently putting forward transfer targets for the summer and has not been told he is under consideration for the permanent role.

🚨 Hayden Hackney is attracting interest from several Premier League clubs. However, players admired by Michael Carrick are not necessarily relevant or part of Manchester United’s internal recruitment discussions at this stage. [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC]

🚨Carlos Baleba’s price has yet to be set, with Brighton keeping the valuation close to their chest as usual.
ManUtd are not concerned by his form this season, with his age a key factor, and belief that his quality would allow him to have a greater impact in their squad than at Brighton.

🚨 Manchester United are interested in Sandro Tonali, but if he leaves this summer, a return to Serie A is considered the more likely outcome. [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC]

🚨 Elliot Anderson remains Manchester United’s top target as they plan a midfield overhaul this summer, and his price could potentially fall further depending on the league Nottingham Forest are in next season. [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC]

February 19, 2026 at 3:09 PM
🚨 Many suitors believe the €100m price tag placed on Yan Diomande by RB Leipzig sources in January will not reflect the final summer fee.

Clubs including Manchester United expect the price to fall closer to €60–70m. [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC]

February 19, 2026 at 3:09 PM
🚨 Mateus Mané is not a priority target for Manchester United at the moment. Anthony Gordon has been discussed internally and if Newcastle miss out on Champions League qualification, a major sale could be considered in the summer to raise funds. [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC]

Barca are trying to negotiate below the €30m option, but United insist the price is exceptional value and expect them to eventually pay up, their stance is 'take it or leave it'. Both United and Rashford agree there is no future for him at Old Trafford. [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC]
February 19, 2026 at 2:42 PM
🚨 Marcus Rashford wants to stay at Barcelona, and the club are confident he will push Manchester United for a permanent move.
#MUFC
February 19, 2026 at 2:42 PM
🚨 Alejandro Balde has been proposed by Christopher Vivell, but the player wants to remain at Barcelona.

No discussions have taken place so far, either with the player or between the two clubs. [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC]

🚨 Manchester United are expected to target a versatile left-back, two experienced midfielders, a left winger, and a striker this summer.

If a Champions League spot is secured, the club is preparing for what could be a major transfer window. [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC]
#MUFC
February 19, 2026 at 2:41 PM
🚨 Manchester United scouts have been monitoring Federico Dimarco, but there has been no formal move or advanced negotiations.

The club’s focus remains on the appointment of the permanent manager and shaping its summer transfer strategy. [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC]

#mufc have hit the woodwork 18 times, four more than any other team this season. The Premier League table would look like this if all shots that hit the post/crossbar had actually gone in. [@OptaAnalyst]
