Manchester United transfer in 2025 has been one of the most talked-about topics in the football world this summer. Under new manager Rúben Amorim, the club has made bold moves in the transfer market, reshaping the squad with high-profile signings and strategic departures.
With over £200 million spent, United’s ambition to return to the top of English and European football is clearer than ever.
Manchester United experienced one of their most active and costly transfer windows in recent history during the summer of 2025. Under manager Rúben Amorim, the club prioritised bolstering their attack, signing several high-profile forwards, and overhauling the squad by parting ways with several seasoned players.
The Red Devils spent well over £200 million to bring in attacking reinforcements while also making a few promising academy signings for the future. At the same time, several senior players departed either on free transfers, retirements, or loan deals.
On 8 August, Brighton & Hove Albion reportedly set a valuation of €120m (£104m) on midfielder Carlos Baleba, following interest from Manchester United in a 2025 transfer.
