Among the teams hoping to sign this “unstoppable” player—who is rumoured to be faster than Marcus Rashford—are Manchester United.
The Red Devils eased manager Erik ten Hag’s anxiety over the weekend by defeating Southampton handily and getting back to winning ways in the Premier League.
Reports of a Man Utd transfer
Man Utd has had a mixed start to the season, having won two and lost the first four league games. Ten Hag has been under criticism because of this, even though the club’s board strongly supported the Dutchman throughout the summer transfer window.
Even though the Red Devils added five players to their roster this summer, it seems like they may be looking to add more in the upcoming season.
Reports from last week claim that Man United is a fan of AS Monaco defender Vanderson. Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and United are all considering the Brazilian, with the Blues now leading the pack. The Ligue 1 team is reportedly seeking €35–40 million, or around £29–35 million. Vanderson might be seen an improvement over Diogo Dalot by United.
United is keeping a close eye on Martin Baturina of Dinamo Zagreb in addition to trying to recruit Vanderson. The midfield player was linked to Leeds United over the summer, but he chose not to leave because he objected to the trade. Currently, Man United has been keeping a watch on the player when he plays for Zagreb and has been during the most recent international break. United has discovered a different player that they might try to sign in addition to Vanderson and Baturina.
Man Utd makes the “unstoppable” symbol in the air.
A report from Spain that Caught Offside passed along claims that Manchester United is also interested in signing Karim Adeyemi, an attacker for Borussia Dortmund. According to the report, Newcastle United and Liverpool are competitors for United in addition to other interested parties.
The 22-year-old, who joined Dortmund from RB Salzburg in the summer of 2022, has made an impression in Germany. Football commentator Ben Mattinson has called the player “unstoppable.”
Although the winger’s contract with the Bundesliga team expires in2027, he is currently being linked to a potential move elsewhere, with United among the teams interested in signing him. Adeyemi might be viewed as a potential successor to Antony, who has barely played this season and appears to have slid down the Old Trafford hierarchy. Antony was recently linked to a move to Fenerbahce.
During his time at Dortmund, Adeyemi has garnered a great deal of praise. The German has impressed with his natural speed, setting a record of 36.30 km/h, which is faster than Marcus Rashford’s current Manchester United time of 35.71 km/h.
Adeyemi has already recorded two goals and one assist in three games this 2024–25 Bundesliga season, which is off to a great start. As Dortmund kicks up their Champions League campaign this week, he will be hoping to maintain that momentum. Who knows, a move to Old Trafford would be something to watch in 2025.
