With so many rumours flying around ahead of the summer window, Manchester United fans want facts — not speculation. This page cuts through the noise and focuses only on Manchester United transfer news that has been confirmed, verified by reliable sources, or officially announced. Here is everything we know for certain as of April 2026.
Confirmed Departures — Players Definitely Leaving
Casemiro — Free Transfer Confirmed
The Brazilian midfielder has confirmed he will leave Manchester United at the end of the 2025/26 season. His contract expires this summer and he will depart as a free agent after four years at Old Trafford. Reports from Italy suggest he has already agreed a deal to join Inter Miami on a contract until December 2028. Casemiro’s exit was expected and United have been planning for his replacement for months.
Jadon Sancho — Free Transfer Confirmed
Jadon Sancho’s contract at Manchester United expires this summer and he will not be offered a new deal. The winger, who spent time on loan at Borussia Dortmund, is expected to return to Germany permanently when his United deal concludes. His departure has been confirmed by multiple sources.
Tyrell Malacia — Free Transfer Confirmed
Left-back Tyrell Malacia is also set to leave Old Trafford on a free transfer. The Dutch international has been plagued by injuries throughout his time at the club and United have decided not to renew his contract.
Manuel Ugarte — Exit Confirmed by Fabrizio Romano
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that “movements have already started” to find a new club for Manuel Ugarte. The Uruguayan midfielder has failed to justify his £50.8 million fee and United have decided to cut their losses. His agent Jorge Mendes is actively working to secure a summer exit. Ugarte’s departure means United will now sign two midfielders rather than one.
Harry Maguire — New Contract Confirmed
On the positive side, Harry Maguire has confirmed he has signed a new one-year contract extension with the option of an additional 12 months. The defender, who has been outstanding under Michael Carrick, committed his future to the club after a remarkable personal resurgence this season.
Confirmed Signings — Last Summer’s Completed Deals
For context, here are the transfers United completed in the summer of 2025 that have shaped this season’s squad:
- Matheus Cunha — £62.5 million from Wolverhampton Wanderers
- Bryan Mbeumo — £71 million from Brentford
- Benjamin Sesko — Signed from RB Leipzig
- Senne Lammens — Signed from Royal Antwerp
- Diego Leon — £3 million from Cerro Porteno
These five signings, totalling around £225 million, transformed United’s attack and are widely credited with turning their season around under Carrick.
Confirmed Loans and Their Outcomes
Marcus Rashford — Barcelona Loan
Rashford joined Barcelona on loan and his future remains the subject of much discussion. Barcelona hold an option to make the deal permanent. Romano has confirmed the buyout clause has not expired. The most likely outcome is that Barcelona activate their option and Rashford’s United career ends this summer.
Rasmus Hojlund — Napoli Loan
Hojlund is currently on loan at Napoli and is expected to be sold permanently this summer, with the Italian club among those interested in securing a permanent deal. His exit would bring a fee to reinvest in the squad.
Andre Onana — Expected Permanent Sale
Onana is currently out on loan and United are looking to sell him permanently. Monaco have been linked with a bid of around £35 million. Besiktas have also held talks with United over a potential deal.
What Is Still Unconfirmed
The big summer signings — Elliot Anderson, Yan Diomande, Lewis Hall and others — remain in the rumour stage. None of these deals are confirmed yet. The window opens in June and United are expected to be active from day one. We will update this page the moment any new signing is officially announced.
