Captain Bruno Fernandes names the surprise player he wants Man United to sign this summer

After the international break, Manchester United will be keen to continue where they left off.

The Red Devils and Nottingham Forest will shortly square off at the City Ground as Ruben Amorim tries to move up the Premier League standings.

Forest defeated Ipswich Town 4-2, while United come into the match fresh off a 3-0 victory over Leicester City. Nuno Espirito Santo’s team may be confident in their chances, but they have an FA Cup quarterfinal match against the Red Devils in a few days.

Therefore, the extra few days spent on the training fields can make all the difference. Nevertheless, the Manchester Evening News has compiled the most recent transfer rumors and United news.

‘United still keen on Bundesliga star’
According to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg, United remain keen on signing Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig. The 21-year-old attacking midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League on numerous occasions in the past, but a switch has never materialised.

The report claims the Bundesliga outfit want €80m (£67m) for Simons, whose departure has been described as ‘possible’. It’s said that the Red Devils have been keeping tabs on Benjamin Sesko and Hugo Ekitike too, with Amorim eager to sign a new striker this summer.

Conte wants United swap deal
According to the Mirror, Napoli are ready to offer Victor Osimhen in exchange for Rasmus Hojlund as part of a swap deal with Manchester United.

The Nigeria international was heavily linked with moves to Arsenal and Chelsea in the summer, but a switch collapsed so he joined Galatasaray on loan instead.

Osimhen, who sees his contract at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium expire in June 2026, has featured 22 times in the Süper Lig this season, scoring 20 goals and providing four assists.

Playing a key role in Okan Buruk’s side, the 26-year-old has fired the Turkish giants to the top of the table – and they remain unbeaten.
