Man United transfer news 2022/23: latest confirmed summer signings and departures including Lisandro Martinez

All of Manchester United’s dealings this summer

Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United side will have a new look ahead of the upcoming 2022/2023 season, as he implements a new style, signing players to fit his system.

The most recent campaign was a disaster for United, who missed out on Champions League football and got nowhere near a trophy, while their former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked halfway through the season.

Ten Hag joined from Ajax and fans are already excited over their chances this season, with Ten Hag’s tactical nous and ruthless streak showing already.

Rumours are swirling over Cristiano Ronaldo’s future, with the player currently not with the squad due to personal reasons.

It has been reported that despite Ronaldo being due to report back to the team soon, Anthony Martial will start the season up top for United, following his stint at Sevilla.

When did the summer transfer window open?

The summer transfer window for Premier League and English Football League (EFL) clubs, as well as those in the Scottish leagues, opened on Friday, 10 June 2022.

When does the summer transfer window close?

Deadline Day is always dramatic, as clubs scramble to make their team strong as it’s months before they can make transfers again.

Clubs in England will have to conclude their business and any transfer activity before the window closes.

The summer transfer window will close on Thursday, 1 September 2022 at 11pm.

Which players have left Manchester United during the transfer window?

A few United players have left, amid a player exodus that was expected before last season ended.

Perhaps the biggest departure is Paul Pogba, who spent six years in Manchester, and left to join Juventus on a free transfer. United paid Juventus a then-world record fee back in 2016, who has left United to join Juventus on a free transfer for the second time in his career.

Out of the eight departures, United have received money for just one, but would have heavily reduced the wage bill.

Here is the full list of the Manchester United departures, including the transfer fee that the club received:

  • Andreas Pereira - Fulham - £8.5 million
  • Paul Pogba - Juventus - Free transfer
  • Jesse Lingard - Nottingham Forest - Free transfer
  • Nemanja Matic - Roma - Free transfer
  • Dean Henderson - Nottingham Forest - Loan
  • Edinson Cavani - Released
  • Juan Mata - Released
  • Lee Grant - Retired

Which players have signed for Manchester United during the transfer window?

With their immediate Premier League rivals making moves in the summer transfer window, as Manchester City sign wonderkid goalscorer Erling Haaland and Liverpool bringing in Darwin Nunez, the pressure has been on.

The Red Devils have wasted little time signing new players to push them into Champions League contention, and to fit ten Haag’s system.

He signed Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord, who is a left-back, who ten Haag will know well from his time in the Eredivisie.

He also snapped up Lisandro Martinez for just over £50 million, with ten Haag also familiar with the 5”9 centre back as he was his manager for a number of years.

A key problem at United was creativity, which should no longer be an issue after the signing of Christian Eriksen.

Here is the full list of the Manchester United departures, including the transfer fee that the club received:

  • Lisandro Martinez - Ajax - £51 million
  • Tyrell Malacia - Feyernoord - £14 million
  • Christian Eriksen - Brentford - Free

This list will grow, with United heavily interested in Frenkie de Jong and Antony from Barcelona and Ajax respectively.
