The Free Agents Who Could Fire Up United

Business Done — But Gaps Remain

Manchester United have already been active this summer, with the likes of Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans arriving at Old Trafford. If Rúben Amorim’s side are serious about challenging near the top of the Premier League, though, a further squad refresh may be needed — and the free-agent market offers a route to strengthen without a transfer fee.

With European football back on the agenda after a year away, depth becomes essential across a demanding schedule. Here are the unattached names, floated by Express Sport, who could help transform United into genuine contenders.

Names and assessments as floated by Express Sport; all remain speculative and no deals are confirmed.

Value in the Bargain Bin

Free transfers rarely define a title race on their own, but they can quietly add the depth and experience that carries a squad through a long season on multiple fronts. For a United side eager to close the gap on the leaders, a well-chosen free signing or two could stretch the budget further without denting it.

Whether Amorim’s recruitment team dips into this pool remains to be seen — but the options are there. Our AI engine will track United’s business and preview every fixture as the season approaches.
