Erik ten Hag‘s Manchester United utilised the summer transfer window well to add high-quality players to their disposal. The recruitments will improve their overall squad and help them fight for all the trophies in the 2024-25 campaign.
Manchester United’s Summer Arrivals
Leny Yoro
Manchester United signed the highly-rated defender for a £52 million fee. The acquisition will improve their backline not only this season but for many years to come. The 18-year-old has the potential to transfer into an elite name and build a legacy of his own.
Manuel Ugarte
After long negotiations, the Red Devils finally managed to sign the PSG midfielder for a deal that could reach up to €50 million. They badly needed a defensive midfielder who could control the tempo of the game. While they have Casemiro, his performance hasn’t been good and is bound to diminish with each year passing.
Matthijs de Ligt
Unable to settle at Bayern Munich, Matthijs de Ligt wanted a move to Old Trafford desperately. It finally came at a cost of €50m for the English giants. The defender will fill the space left by the departure of Raphael Varane.
Joshua Zirkzee
Erik ten Hag’s side needed a cover for striker Rasmus Højlund. Joshua Zirkzee’s arrival will surely help in that aspect and improve the offensive line.
Noussair Mazraoui
Noussair Mazraoui is another signing from Bayern Munich, which seems a good deal. His addition to the unit will ensure that United have enough options available throughout the season.
Manchester United’s Notable Summer Departures
Scott McTominay – Napoli for €30m
Jadon Sancho – Chelsea on loan
Sofyan Amrabat – Fiorentina on loan
Aaron Wan-Bissaka – West Ham United for €15m
Raphaël Varane – Como for free
Anthony Martial – Left for free
