Man Utd and Chelsea have expressed interest in deals (Picture: Getty) Manchester United and Chelsea have expressed interest in signing a new striker before the end of the summer transfer window. Man United’s dismal opening-day defeat to newly-promoted Hull City could spark the club into transfer action before the summer window closes on September 3. Virtually all of United’s focus so far this summer has been on midfield reinforcements, with Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos completing moves to Old Trafford and Carlos Baleba set to follow suit in a £70m deal from Brighton. Michael Carrick is also interested in signing a new left-back before the transfer deadline, while several pundits are of the opinion a new striker is needed to support Benjamin Sesko.

Owen Hargreaves urged Old Trafford bosses to sign a new striker after the shock defeat to Hull, telling TNT Sports: ‘I think they could probably do with another striker option. ‘I think that showed today, Sesko didn’t start and Cunha played a little bit deeper. He’s a 10, and plays very effective off the left. Man Utd boss Michael Carrick (Picture: Getty) ‘But I do think with Baleba coming into the team, it is a good squad and it is a top four squad, I just think they were at their best last season counter attacking teams. ‘They were at their best counter attacking teams, remember the first ones, Carrick’s first games against City and Arsenal. ‘Today where they had possession of the ball they didn’t look like scoring. I think it will be easier when the space opens up. Today there wasn’t that. {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Carrick reflects on disappointing start as Man United lose to Hull","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/08\/22\/3200761093652133798\/480x270_MP4_3200761093652133798.mp4","description":"Press conference with Manchester United manager Michael Carrick following their 2-0 loss to Hull City at the MKM Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday.","duration":"T6M44S","height":270,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/08\/22\/16\/110791853-0-image-m-13_1787413415956.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-08-22T16:42:41+0100","width":480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); ‘I think they go back to the drawing board and look at what they can do differently.’ Premier League legend Wayne Rooney, meanwhile, said Carrick’s side ‘offered nothing’ going forward against a Hull side who conceded 66 goals in the Championship last season. ‘United were dreadful in all positions, particularly up front. They offered nothing,’ Shearer said on BBC’s Match of the Day. Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi (Picture: Getty) ‘There was only one team going to win. It’s a worrying thing.

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez (Picture: Getty) Manchester City are set to bolster Enzo Maresca’s midfield options after agreeing a deal worth £86m for Lille star Ayyoub Bouaddi. Maresca urged his bosses at the Etihad Stadium to get busy during the summer transfer window after Man City’s Community Shield defeat to Arsenal. Manchester City spend £116m to sign England’s Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest but Maresca was keen for further additions after Rodri’s £65m move to Barcelona. Bouaddi attracted interest from a number of European giants before the World Cup and did his reputation no harm during the tournament, helping Morocco reach the quarter-finals before they were knocked out by France.

Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea were all said to be interested in Bouaddi, who made just shy of 100 appearances for French side Lille. But Man City have won the race to sign the highly-rated 18-year-old after agreeing a stunning deal worth €95m (£81.4m) plus €5m in potential add-ons. Despite strengthening Maresca’s midfield with an £86m player, Manchester City remain interested in signing Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea, according to The Guardian. Incoming Man City signing Ayyoub Bouaddi (Picture: Getty) Fernandez made it clear he wanted to leave Stamford Bridge earlier in the summer but a dream move to Real Madrid failed to materalise. The Argentina World Cup finalist is also interested in a move to Man City, where he would reunite with ex-Chelsea boss Maresca. But Chelsea want an eye-watering £120m for Fernandez and Man City value him ‘at a lower figure’. Man City beat Bournemouth on the opening weekend (Picture: Getty) Manchester City’s midfield looked shaky in their Premier League opener against Bournemouth but Maresca’s side came from behind to clinch a late 2-1 win. Marcus Tavernier gave Bournemouth a first-half lead and looked set to have earned the Cherries an opening-day win before Marc Guehi and Josko Gvardiol scored late goals for City. Man City matchwinner Gvardiol said: ‘Everyone is proud in the moment, it’s the opening game of the season and we know how important it is, especially with all the changes we’ve had in the previous weeks. ‘We need to enjoy this, we deserve it and I’m happy with the three points.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.
