MU's transfer scheme was stopped

Manchester United will not be able to repeat the early signing tactic they did with Matheus Cunha in the summer transfer window of 2026.

The Cunha deal is a testament to the effectiveness of Manchester United's board.

Just 24 hours after the end of their post-season tour in Hong Kong, Manchester United announced the signing of Matheus Cunha on June 1. On June 12, Manchester United completed the signing of the Brazilian star.

This is the first time in 6 years that the "Red Devils" have completed a contract in June, since recruiting Daniel James from Swansea City in 2019. MU's new executive team, INEOS, impressed with their decisive action in the Cunha case.

However, in the 2026 summer transfer window, FIFA's regulations on the opening time of the transfer window will limit Manchester United's ability to negotiate and close deals early.

The 2026 summer transfer window will only open on June 15, a later date than this year's June 1. The reason for the difference is that the 2025 Club World Cup, which starts on June 14, forced FIFA to hold a special transfer window from June 1-10 before reopening on June 16.

In 2026, without the FIFA Club World Cup, the transfer calendar will return to normal. While clubs can still negotiate and reach agreements before then, formal transfers will have to wait until the transfer window opens.

This means Manchester United will not be able to act as early as they did with Cunha, but will have to wait until mid-June to complete the formalities.
