The 2026 summer transfer window has now closed, with Manchester United having a relatively quiet deadline day. The Red Devils were linked with several names in the final stages of the window, including Lewis Hall, Jorge Salinas, Louis Page and Igor Matanovic. Despite the lack of late movement, United enjoyed a busy summer overall, bringing in seven new players while moving on 24 members of the squad through permanent transfers, loans and expiring contracts.
United’s season got off to a disappointing start with a 2-0 defeat to Hull City on Matchday 1, but Ruben Amorim’s side responded strongly by beating Ipswich Town 5-2 on Saturday. With the international break approaching later this month, the Red Devils now face a packed schedule, playing five matches across three competitions over an 18-day period. Take a look at all the transfers.
