Manchester United’s summer planning is already beginning to take shape, with key decisions looming in several areas of the squad.
Behind the scenes, the recruitment team are assessing multiple scenarios depending on potential exits, and one department could yet see further investment.
The club’s hierarchy are understood to be keeping options open as they evaluate both short-term stability and long-term succession planning.
Uncertainty continues to surround Andre Onana, whose loan spell at Trabzonspor has faced scrutiny.
January links to a possible return to Inter Milan resurfaced last month, while Trabzonspor’s willingness to commit to a permanent deal has appeared far from guaranteed.
Meanwhile, Altay Bayindir is also facing an uncertain future as he continues to search for consistent opportunities.
United did act decisively last summer to secure Senne Lammens – a signing viewed internally as a smart investment for the present and the future.
According to Corriere dello Sport, United have now renewed their interest in Marco Carnesecchi.
The 25-year-old Atalanta star operated between the posts and has established himself as one of the Italian Serie A’s most consistent goalkeepers over the past two seasons.
United were previously linked with him in the summer of 2025, but the Italian side were said to be demanding a hefty fee at the time, cooling negotiations before they could develop.
Carnesecchi’s profile fits the modern mould United favour – comfortable in possession, commanding in his area and entering what would be his prime years.
Juventus are also credited with interest, meaning competition would be fierce if Atalanta soften their stance.
Any concrete move will likely hinge on how the situations involving Onana and Bayindir unfold.
With Lammens regarded as a successful signing, United may look to add proven depth in case of injury.
For now, the Italian’s name is back in circulation – and with uncertainty lingering, this is one to watch closely as the summer approaches.
