Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada said the club will again target Premier League‑experienced players in the next window, mirroring last summer’s signings of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha. The move comes after United secured a £35 million deal for Brazil international Éderson from Atalanta, aiming to reinforce a midfield that finished third last season.

Berrada outlined a clear plan on the club’s Inside Carrington podcast, stressing a mix of experience and youth. He added the club will keep captain Bruno Fernandes for the summer, despite interest from Al Hilal, and is eyeing West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes and Newcastle’s Lewis Hall.

The £35 million signing of Éderson follows United’s third‑place finish and a return to the Champions League, while head coach Michael Carrick has been confirmed as permanent. Berrada praised Carrick’s optimism, saying the club is “in a very good position” after a difficult period.

United’s strategy to blend proven Premier League talent with promising youngsters signals a shift toward sustained competitiveness. With key signings already in place and a clear recruitment template, the club is poised to challenge for top spots in the 2026‑27 season.
