- Reuters reported Manchester United are in advanced talks over a £69m move for Bruno Guimaraes, a claim multiple Newcastle sources told the i was news to them.
- Multiple reports indicate United plan to sign two central midfielders this summer with Casemiro expected to leave when his contract expires.
- Teammates Matheus Cunha and Leny Yoro publicly urged Casemiro to remain at the club, and Yoro also called for Harry Maguire to agree a new deal.
