"According to a report from Foot Mercato, the Red Devils attempted a late swoop for Lyon winger Malick Fofana after sanctioning several forward departures, but the deal ultimately failed to materialise. United were among the busiest clubs in the Premier League this summer, adding Diego Leon, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko, and goalkeeper Senne Lammens to their squad. Man United offloaded attacking talent this summer"
"However, it was the wave of attacking exits that raised eyebrows, with Marcus Rashford, Antony, Rasmus Hojlund, Jadon Sancho, and Alejandro Garnacho all leaving Old Trafford before the window closed. The loss of Garnacho in particular forced United to explore emergency options in attack. Foot Mercato claim that United approached Malick Fofana, the 20-year-old Belgian-born winger. Fofana has impressed in Ligue 1 with his quality, catching the eye of several top European clubs."
"While the youngster was reportedly open to the idea of joining United, his representatives were unwilling to sanction a move this late in the window, leaving Ruben Amorim and his recruitment team empty-handed. This missed opportunity comes at a time when United's forward line looks considerably reshaped. Sesko and Mbeumo provide fresh attacking options, but injuries, such as Cunha's fitness concerns, and the lack of a natural left-sided winger raise questions about balance and depth."
Manchester United pursued significant transfer activity, signing Diego Leon, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko, and goalkeeper Senne Lammens while sanctioning multiple attacking departures. Marcus Rashford, Antony, Rasmus Hojlund, Jadon Sancho, and Alejandro Garnacho all left Old Trafford before the window closed, prompting emergency searches for wide attackers. United approached Lyon winger Malick Fofana late in the window, but his representatives refused to approve a last-minute move. Fofana had been open to joining, and his arrival could have replaced Garnacho on the left. Injuries, Cunha's fitness concerns, and a shortage of natural left-sided wingers leave balance and depth uncertain.
