Man Utd join Man City and Tottenham in race bright for €40m winger who can replace Antony and Jadon Sancho
Man United are set to see summer departures of Sancho, Antony and Marcus Rashford.
Man United are looking ahead to what will be a summer overhaul of Ruben Amorim’s squad at Old Trafford with several incomings and departures expected to happen throughout the transfer window.
Three names that are all expected to leave United will be Jadon Sancho, who is on loan at Chelsea, Antony at Real Betis and Marcus Rashford at Aston Villa. Chelsea have an obligation to buy Sancho (with a £5m cancellation fee), and Villa have a reported £40m option to buy Rashford in the summer.
Antony does not have a clause that will allow him to move to Betis in the summer, so United will look to sell him in the summer or send him back out on loan with the hope of increasing his market value.
Man United linked to Dibling to replace Antony, Sancho and Rashford
If all three attackers are to leave Old Trafford in the summer transfer window, United will need to find adequate replacements who can thrive in Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 formation next season.
One new name that they have been linked to is Southampton midfielder Tyler Dibling, who was recently connected with a move to rivals Manchester City, who are also looking to add some more attacking talent in the summer.
Dibling looks almost certain to leave the Saints as they were relegated over the weekend after losing 3-1 to Tottenham. With significant Premier League interest in the 19-year-old, it is unlikely that he will play in the Championship next year.
According to a report by Caught Offside, United wants to sign Dibling to replace the departing attackers, and he is high up on the club’s list of targets this summer. He has been a bright spark in what has been a disappointing season for Southampton.
The 19-year-old has made 32 appearances for the Saints this season, scoring four goals and providing three assists. He has also broken out into the England U21s squad, with the hope of making Thomas Tuchel’s squad for the 2026 World Cup.
Tottenham Hotspur are also reportedly interested in signing Dibling as they look to improve on what has been a poor season for Ange Postecoglou’s side, with the manager under considerable pressure.
Dibling is expected to cost around £34m even though Southampton don’t want to sell the 19-year-old, even though they are heading into the Championship next season.
Dibling could be a cheaper alternative to Mbeumo
The Southampton youngster plays in an attacking position that United are set to address this summer, especially considering the position of Sancho, Antony and Rashford.
They have also been linked to Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo alongside Newcastle, Arsenal and Liverpool. However, Brentford will be reluctant to sell the Cameroon international who has scored 16 goals in 35 games for the Bees this season.
His market value is estimated to be around £42m, but due to Brentford’s reluctance to sell him, Mbeumo could command a fee of above £50m.
