Here is a roundup of the top Manchesster United news, gossip and transfer latest from icfootballnews featuring the likes of Aleksandar Stankovic, Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay that you may have missed…

There has been some shock reports in the media which have claimed that Manchester United are one of the many clubs interested in bringing Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay back to the Premier League this coming summer window.

Right now all he headlines surrounding Manchester United are on whom the next boss will be after the decision was made to allow Michael Carrick lead the club until the end of the season after Ruben AMorim was let go during the January window.

There has been alot of speculation about who could take over at Old Tafford, with Mauricio Pochettino the number one target, but there has also been some claims that a move for McTominay could be on the cards for the Blues.

The Scot has become one of the best midfielders in Europe since joining Napoli a few transfer windows ago and ranked in 18th place in the Ballon d’Or list, but his performances last season helped Napoli win the Serie A title last season and his brilliant form has sparked interest from Premier League clubs.

Fichajes.net report that Man United are dreaming of bringing McTominay back home, while Chelsea are also interested in bringing him back to the Premier League, but that Napoli would only consider opening negotiations at around £60million.

Napoli do not want to lose McTominay in the summer as they push for another Scudetto but the report claims “an extraordinary offer could force a rethink”.

Man United must know now that letting McTominay leave the club was a big mistake, he is a brilliant player that brings so much to the side. But it would be a massive shock to see him back in the Premier League.

He is more than happy in the Italian League, coming back to Manchester United would not make sense, as he has nothing to prove with the Red Devils. He would just eb coming back a better player than what he was when he left.

But anything can happen in football.

UNITED REACH MAGUIRE AGREEMENT

Reports from TeamTalk suggest that Harry Maguire has agreed a new contract with Manchester United, a development that—if accurate—marks one of the more surprising twists in the club’s ongoing defensive rebuild.

While the club has not issued any official confirmation, the rumor alone is enough to spark speculation about what this means for the player, the squad, and the broader strategic direction at Old Trafford.

A Resurgence Worth Rewarding?

Maguire’s journey over the past two seasons has been turbulent. Once the world’s most expensive defender and club captain, he faced a period of decline where he lost his starting place and became a subject of scrutiny from fans and pundits alike. Yet his performances in the more recent campaign showed a return to form—solid defensive displays, improved confidence on the ball, and undeniable leadership qualities.

A new contract, therefore, might be seen as a reward for resilience and a signal that the manager sees value in keeping his experience within the squad.

What Would United Gain?

From Manchester United perspective, renewing Maguire’s deal could serve several possible purposes: Squad Stability, Strategic Depth and Leadership Continuity as Maguire remains well-respected in the dressing room. A contract extension might underline the club’s desire to preserve strong internal leadership as they rebuild the squad.

At 31, securing a new contract at a major club provides stability and allows him to plan the next phase of his career without immediate uncertainty.

What It Might Signal About United’s Transfer Plans

If the report is accurate, the deal might reflect: Confidence in Maguire as part of the defensive rotation, A shift in transfer priorities toward midfield and attack, budget-conscious planning, choosing to retain rather than replace certain squad members.

Example-setting for the club’s evolving contract policy under new football leadership structures. Alternatively, it could simply be a move to protect his market value ahead of potential future negotiations—a common strategy for clubs managing high-value assets.

Still Just Rumors—for Now

Until official statements emerge from Manchester United, the reported agreement remains speculation. However, the possibility alone indicates how dynamic the club’s internal decisions may be as they attempt to balance rebuilding efforts with financial prudence and squad cohesion.

If confirmed, Maguire’s new contract would mark a notable chapter in his rollercoaster United career—a testament to perseverance, adaptability, and perhaps renewed trust from the club hierarchy.

UNITED STEP UP MIDFIELD CHASE

According to fresh reports from Teamtalk, Manchester United have intensified their efforts to sign rising midfield sensation Aleksandar Stankovic from Club Brugge, signalling what could be one of their most intriguing moves of the upcoming window.

For a club aiming to future-proof its midfield while remaining competitive in the Premier League, this type of addition fits perfectly within United’s current long-term vision.

A Rising Star Turning Heads Across Europe

Stankovic’s emergence has been one of the standout stories in Belgian football this season. The young Serbian has impressed with Excellent ball control under pressure, Natural composure in tight spaces, Sharp vertical passing, Strong tactical awareness, Maturity beyond his years.

His performances in both domestic competitions and European fixtures have quickly made him one of the most-watched midfield prospects on the continent and It’s no surprise, then, that Manchester United are not the only club monitoring him — but the Manchester side appear to be accelerating their plans.

Why United Are Moving Now

Manchester United have long prioritised building a midfield capable of dominating matches in and out of possession. While they boast established stars, the club recognises the need to plan beyond the present.

With midfield roles evolving and squad depth crucial for their ambitions, Stankovic offers a long-term developmental option who could be eased into the first team without immediate pressure.

Stankovic’s value is rising rapidly. Moving now could secure him for a lower fee before competition intensifies — a strategy the club has executed before with emerging talents.

How Likely Is a Deal?

While the interest is real and ongoing, several factors will determine whether Arsenal push ahead: Competing interest from other European clubs, Brugge’s valuation and Whether the player sees Manchester United as the next step in his career

Although still early in the process, United’s stepped-up efforts indicate genuine intent. Stankovic represents the kind of smart, forward-thinking signing the club has been leaning toward over the last few seasons — one that could pay dividends for years to come.
