Manchester United Transfer Rumours

As arguably the biggest club in English football, Manchester United fans must be used to trawling through hundreds and hundreds of transfer rumours every time either a summer or January window rolls around.

So, the Football Transfer Tavern has moved to make a page where Red Devils around the world can come and visit. Here, you’re going to find opinions on breaking news, reactions to the latest gossip and analysis on everything in between.

With so much to get through, make sure we’re your one-stop-shop for all transfer rumours involving Manchester United.

Manchester United Transfer Records

Currently, United have their two most expensive players of all time on their books. Indeed, £80m+ Paul Pogba and Harry Maguire stand as their biggest ever buys while the likes of Fred and January super-buy Bruno Fernandes form a team to have cost hundreds of millions of pounds.

No stranger to breaking records, the Old Trafford giants have broken transfer records on a number of occasions. Indeed, Pogba was the most expensive player in the history of football for a year following his £89m switch from Juventus in 2016 and that move came two years after Louis van Gaal smashed the British record at the time, splashing £60m on Angel Di Maria.

While buying the best is a tradition at the Theatre of Dreams, United have also been involved in some of the biggest sales of all-time. After all, who could argue against the £80m and £75m received for Cristiano Ronaldo and Romelu Lukaku from Real Madrid and Inter Milan respectively.

Famous Manchester United Transfers

The January window has proven fruitful for the 20-time champions of England. After all, the aforementioned winter signing of Fernandes follows in the footsteps of other famous mid-season buys in Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra.

It’s also hard to mention the moves for icons such as Ronaldo, Eric Cantona, Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Zlatan Ibrahimovic – all of whom led the club to major success after signing.

There have, of course, been major flops too. In fact, they’ve got all the more frequent in recent years during the Ed Woodward era and the names Radamel Falcao, di Maria and Alexis Sanchez aren’t likely to spark too many pleasant memories for fans.

Brighter days might be coming, however. In the likes of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Daniel James and Maguire himself, it does seem as if the club are focusing their budgets on younger players to try and build success, rather than buy it.

Considering their status, United are frequently touted with moves for some of the biggest players in world football.
