Manchester United is expected to undergo significant changes in 2026. Ruben Amorim has been at the helm for more than a year, and his club has put in a strong performance this season. Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko, and Bryan Mbeumo were among the new players that arrived during the summer transfer window.
Furthermore, it appears that the January window will see considerably greater action. Casemiro, Kobbie Mainoo, and Joshua Zirkzee have all been connected to departing the team and may sign contracts in the upcoming weeks. Mirror Football examines some of the major headlines emerging from Old Trafford as the new year draws near.
Caught Offside reports that United is eager to have Scott McTominay return to Old Trafford. Alongside United player Rasmus Hojlund, the midfielder from Napoli has been flourishing in Italy since leaving the team in the summer of last year. The Scotland international went on to become one of the best midfielders in European football after helping Antonio Conte’s team win Serie A the previous season.
Scott McTominay return details emerge
Only about £60 million, which takes into account both McTominay’s current form and his significance to Conte’s system, would Napoli contemplate starting talks. Although Napoli are adamantly opposed to losing him in January as they strive for another Scudetto, insiders admit that an exceptional offer may compel a reconsideration.
According to reports, Manchester United regrets letting their academy graduate go and is thinking about bringing him back to Old Trafford. Tottenham, managed by Thomas Frank, has joined its Premier League rivals in expressing interest in acquiring McTominay, 29, since they are eager to add goals and physical presence from midfield, which McTominay provides in spades.
Both Arsenal and Newcastle United are keeping an eye on the issue; Arsenal sees him as a high-level rotation possibility, while Newcastle has long admired his reputation. There is only around a 30% probability that Napoli will approve a mid-season exit, according to estimates from those close to the matter, which indicate a roughly 70% chance of a summer move.
