The Red Devils will probably have to win UEFA Europa League at the end of this season to qualify for the Champions League next season.
After 12 difficult months, not counting the arrival of Ruben Amorim in Old Trafford, United could finish in the second half of the classification of the Premier League for the first time in his illustrious history.
Real Madrid Dream of Bruno Fernandes
Despite the general difficulties of United, Fernandes showed consistency, whileMorim seeks to reshape his team. With 16 goals in the midfield, all competitions combined, he has already broken his records from the last three seasons in Manchester. His current contract runs until 2027, with an option for an additional 12 months.
United does not clearly seek to sell its leader, but the situation could change if it does not participate in European competitions in 2025/26, and Real Madrid follows the situation with interest. According to the Daily Star, the Merengues have sent recruiters to each match of United – at home and outside – in recent weeks in order to obtain a more precise image of the 30 -year -old.
The management of United seeks to raise major funds this summer, given budgetary constraints, and Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho are about to leave. Real Madrid could make things happen if an interesting proposal comes from Manchester, following rumors of an offer of 90 million pounds Sterling.
Changes are also expected in Madrid before next season: Trent Alexander-Arnold is close to a free transfer from Liverpool and doubts hover on the maintenance of Luka Modric.
Modric will be offered his traditional extension of one year, which will allow the Croatian international to celebrate his 40th anniversary in September, but the decision will be postponed to June so that he can assess all the possible options to continue his 2026 World Cup dream next summer.
