MU finalizes targets for winter transfer window

MU identified Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher as their top transfer target in the upcoming winter market.

MU want Gallagher.

With the midfield in disarray, MU is said to prioritize bringing in a player in the midfield in the January 2026 transfer window. Daily Mail reported that Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher is a potential target.

United have decided not to push ahead with a move for Gallagher this summer, but are planning to negotiate in the winter transfer window. Atletico have also made it clear that they only want to sell Gallagher outright rather than let him leave on loan.

Gallagher has been left out of Atletico's opening three La Liga games of 2025/26 by manager Diego Simeone. With 136 Premier League appearances under his belt for Chelsea and Crystal Palace, Gallagher is no stranger to the tough environment and would be open to a return to his homeland should the right offer come along.

In addition to MU, Everton and Crystal Palace are also looking to negotiate to recruit Gallagher. Transfermarkt values ​​this midfielder at around 40 million euros.

On the final day of the 2025 summer transfer window, MU brought in new player Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp for a fee of 21 million euros, including additional terms.

The Red Devils wanted to add a midfielder before the summer transfer window closed but failed. Targets that caught MU's eye included Carlos Baleba (Brighton) and Angelo Stiller (Stuttgart). However, no formal negotiations took place.

MU won hard at home. Late on August 30, Manchester United had their first victory in the Premier League when they defeated Burnley 3-2 at Old Trafford.
