Manchester United summer 2026 transfer window: every signing and departure

United's summer window in one place: who came in, who left, and how the money adds up.

Manchester United's summer transfer business is now complete. This is the window in one place: the main signings, the key departures, and what the club has said about the cost. Our transfers page lists every move as it is recorded.

Fees are those reported by the Manchester Evening News. Teenager T. Thompson also joined from Tottenham on 19 July.

Returning from loan

A number of players came back at the end of their loans in late June, including Marcus Rashford (from Barcelona) and Harry Amass (from Norwich). Rashford is part of the squad list on our squad page.

Who left

  • Rasmus Højlund moved to Napoli on a permanent deal on 30 June after returning from his loan there.

  • Casemiro left as a free agent and joined Inter Miami on 21 July.

  • Radek Vítek joined Middlesbrough on 7 August.

  • Altay Bayındır went on loan to Celta Vigo on 6 August.

  • André Onana went on loan to Trabzonspor on 2 July.

How the spending adds up

The club said it committed £155m to these deals, including add-ons. Stock-exchange filings released the next day showed the summer's total spending was £191.7m. The Manchester Evening News reports that the gap is partly agents' fees, the Premier League's 4% transfer levy and the cost of academy signings. We break down the numbers in our report on the club's annual results.

Transfer dates and details come from our transfer data and can be updated as records are corrected.
