In 2025, we have seen a shift to signing players with Premier League<\/a> experience.<\/p>\n Ruben Amorim<\/a> has welcomed Matheus Cunha from Wolves<\/a> and Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford<\/a> this summer. Between them, they scored 37 goals in the Premier League last term. That\u2019s seven less than United\u2019s entire team managed.<\/p>\n However, United\u2019s business is far from done. <\/p>\n Ineos are actively trying to sell players deemed surplus to requirements, which in turn would generate funds for more transfers.<\/p>\n United have also welcomed a youngster to the first team this summer as Diego Leon<\/a> joined from Cerro Porteno, after reaching an agreement with United in January.<\/p>\n Ineos may opt to sign more young players now after spending a chunk of their transfer kitty on two players with Premier League experience. A lot will also depend on whether United can sell players like Antony<\/a> or Alejandro Garnacho<\/a>, with Marcus Rashford set to join Barcelona on loan<\/a>.<\/p>\n United have been linked with several youngsters this season, hoping to replicate the success they have seen with previous recruits such as Ayden Heaven<\/a> and Leny Yoro<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ineos\u2019 investment in the youth is sure to continue after being linked with Fulham wonderkid and England U17 captain Seth Ridgeon.<\/a><\/p>\n It is understood that Ridgeon is also attracting interest from Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea.<\/p>\n An update from the Evening Standard<\/a> suggests Fulham are optimistic they can keep hold of Ridgeon, despite attempts from United to lure him to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n The Athletic<\/a> claimed earlier this month that Ridgeon had been offered a contract by United, along with tours of Old Trafford<\/a> and the club\u2019s Carrington training complex<\/a>.<\/p>\n United didn\u2019t miss out on many youth targets this summer, but they could be dealt a blow after pursuing Ridgeon if he decides to remain at Craven Cottage.<\/p>\n It is understood that the promise of first-team football could see Ridgeon remain at Fulham.<\/p>\n Ridgeon\u2019s stats last season<\/p>\n Ridgeon played at U18 and U21 levels for Fulham last season.<\/p>\n The central midfielder recorded an impressive 10 goals and six assists to attract interest from some of the biggest clubs in the Premier League.<\/p>\n Ridgeon stats for Fulham youths last season<\/p>\n The 16-year-old has yet to decide on his future, but United will remain hopeful that he accepts their offer to join this summer.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"So far this summer, there has been a change in strategy at Manchester United when it comes to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32757,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[4574,403,99],"class_list":["post-32756","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-seth-ridgeon","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32756","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32756"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32756\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32757"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32756"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32756"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32756"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Seth](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-2171120839-1024x576.jpg\")
