Manchester United are already putting plans in place for next summer’s transfer window.
Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Napoli are expected to pursue a permanent deal for striker Rasmus Hojlund in 2026, after the United loanee’s promising start to life with the Serie A champions.
And there could be more outgoings to come as the Red Devils attempt to revamp their squad during another period of upheaval.

According to the Sun, Trabzonspor are interested in making goalkeeper Andre Onana’s loan move a permanent one next summer, despite the lack of an option or obligation to buy in the loan deal.
Head coach Fatih Tekke has reportedly been impressed by Onana’s leadership qualities, though he has only kept one clean sheet in four Turkish Super Lig appearances so far.

Trabzonspor are said to be paying Onana more than his £120,000-per-week salary at United, which means personal terms over a permanent move will not be a sticking point.
United’s asking price could be the primary issue, but it remains to be seen if they will look to recoup a significant percentage of the £47 million they paid to sign the goalkeeper from Inter in 2023.
Onana ended last season as United’s first-choice goalkeeper but picked up an injury in pre-season and was relegated to second choice, behind Altay Bayındır.
A less-than-impressive display from the Cameroon international in United’s League Cup embarrassment at Grimsby Town in August led to more criticism.

That was reportedly enough to convince United that a new goalkeeper was needed, and they moved to sign Royal Antwerp’s Senne Lammens, who made a strong debut against Sunderland last weekend.
Onana, meanwhile, was told he could benefit from a year away from the club, but it appears his time could be up at United regardless of performances between now and the end of the season.
