Manchester United have ramped up their efforts to secure Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Bynoe-Gittens as a potential successor to Alejandro Garnacho.
The Red Devils are also on the brink of sealing a 29.3 million pounds deal for Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu, marking the first signing under manager Ruben Amorim.
The club’s transfer strategy this January has been cautious, with potential new signings hinging on player sales to navigate Profit and Sustainability Rules.
Marcus Rashford and Casemiro’s futures remain uncertain, but it’s Garnacho’s departure that appears most imminent. Despite his evident talent, the 20-year-old has struggled to fit into Amorim’s tactical setup.
Chelsea and Napoli have emerged as suitors for Garnacho. Chelsea, in particular, have reportedly promised the young winger a significant role in their squad, contingent on meeting certain conditions.
With Garnacho’s sale potentially boosting their transfer budget, United have identified Bynoe-Gittens as the ideal fit for their right wing-back role in Amorim’s system, according to reports from Sky Sports.
Bynoe-Gittens, who has scored 11 goals this season for Dortmund, has caught the eye of several clubs, including Liverpool and his former club Chelsea.
However, his transfer fee, set at 100 million euros by Dortmund, might push any move to the summer.
In other news, United are in a strong position to sign Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel. The 19-year-old has expressed his desire to join United, placing them ahead of competitors like Tottenham, Chelsea, and Arsenal in the race for his signature.
Regarding Dorgu, the paperwork for his transfer should be completed by Friday noon, allowing him to be eligible for United’s upcoming match against Crystal Palace. His medical and contract details are expected to be finalized soon.
Amorim, meanwhile, has not closed the door on Rashford, suggesting there might still be a place for him at Old Trafford despite the transfer talks.
This flurry of activity shows United are actively reshaping their squad for the remainder of the season, focusing on both immediate and future squad needs.
