Manchester United is bracing for an action-packed final 24 hours of the transfer window, with several significant developments already confirmed. One notable move is the loan of young defender Rhys Bennett to Fleetwood Town for the entire season.
Earlier this week, ManchesterWorld reported that Bennett, who impressed during United’s pre-season tour in the USA, was set to join Fleetwood Town. The 20-year-old had previously been on loan at Stockport County, where he gained essential experience. Fans are hopeful to see him make his debut this weekend against AFC Wimbledon and also feature in Fleetwood’s upcoming Carabao Cup match against Stoke City.
Though Bennett has yet to appear for Manchester United’s senior squad, he has achieved notable success at the youth level. He captained the Under-18 team to victory in the Youth Cup in 2022 and scored in the final against Nottingham Forest. He also came off the bench in a summer friendly against Liverpool and was named a substitute in a Premier League match against West Ham United last December.
On the transfer front, Manchester United is nearing the completion of a deal for Manuel Ugarte, with the transfer expected to be finalized before the window closes on Friday. Additionally, teenager Sekou Kone is close to joining the squad, and there is speculation about a possible last-minute acquisition of Raheem Sterling.
In terms of departures, Scott McTominay is currently in Italy for a medical ahead of a potential move to Napoli. Juventus is pursuing Jadon Sancho, and there is a slight chance that Victor Lindelof might leave before the deadline. Other young players like Sonny Aljofree and Elyh Harrison are attracting interest for loan moves.
With the transfer window nearing its end, Manchester United fans can expect a dramatic conclusion as the club finalizes both incoming and outgoing transfers. Rhys Bennett’s loan to Fleetwood Town represents an important step in his development, while the potential additions of Ugarte and Kone, along with the possible departure of key players, will shape the final days of the window.
