Transfer bargains: Two Wolves stars Man United could target this summer

Manchester United are set to have a busy summer with a midfield overhaul at the top of their agenda.

Casemiro has announced that he will leave the club after his contract expires at the end of June. Manuel Ugarte has failed to impress and could be offloaded, leaving Kobbie Mainoo as the only central midfielder in the senior squad.

The majority of their transfer budget is expected to be spent on midfielders.

Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba, and Adam Wharton are at the top of their transfer shortlist.

Beyond marquee signings, the Red Devils must also identify opportunities that offer genuine value for money.

Wolverhampton Wanderers appear increasingly likely to suffer relegation to the Championship after a disastrous campaign.

With just 17 points from 31 Premier League matches, their struggles have left them staring at the drop.

As a result, several Wolves players are expected to push for exits in order to remain in the top flight.

This situation could hand INEOS a golden opportunity to snap up quality talent at cut-price fees.

Joao Gomes

Gomes is already heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford this summer.

The 25-year-old is a central midfielder who is more focused on providing security to the defence and recycling ball possession.

He has played a crucial role in helping Wolves carve out a few respectable results in 2026.

His ball-winning ability stands out, but he lacks the creative vision required to consistently unlock defences with incisive passing.

He should not be considered a direct replacement for Casemiro but could prove to be a valuable squad option.

Mateus Mane

The 18-year-old is an exciting attacking midfielder who can play in various positions.

Despite being so young and playing for a struggling side, Mane has bagged two goals and two assists in the Premier League this season.

He is a solid talent with great potential. It would be a big step up for Mane but could also be the break he needs in his early career to stand out on the global stage.

Initially, he would be a rotational player at Old Trafford. From a strategic standpoint, he also represents a smart investment, offering potential resale value if he fails to fully meet expectations.

With Wolves on the brink of relegation, a move for Mane could prove to be a calculated gamble.
