Manchester United’s £65 million capture of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig has bolstered their attack. However, the club still have critical issues to resolve ahead of the start of the 2025-26 league season.

With the transfer window closing soon, here are three key deals United must prioritize.

1 . Carlos Baleba (Brighton) – Midfield Reinforcement

Ruben Amorim’s side needs a dynamic midfielder, and Brighton’s Carlos Baleba, valued at £50 million, fits the bill. The 21-year-old Cameroonian has shone with 34 Premier League appearances last season. His versatility and energy could transform United’s midfield, especially with ongoing injury concerns.

    2. Alejandro Garnacho (Sale)

    Man Utd will spend much of the rest of the summer window attempting to recoup funds, with Alejandro Garnacho their best route to cash. The 21-year-old’s tumultuous relationship with the Red Devils appears likely to end before the September 1 deadline, with the Argentine having already requested to leave the club. Chelsea are keen, and reports suggest a move could happen in the coming weeks.

    3. Gianluigi Donnarumma (PSG) – Goalkeeping Competition

    Andre Onana’s inconsistent form highlights the need for a top goalkeeper. PSG’s Gianluigi Donnarumma, available for £40 million due to contract uncertainties, could challenge Onana.

    The 26-year-old Italian, a Champions League winner, would bring experience and stability between the posts.
