As of February 12, 2025, there is no official confirmation that Manchester United has reached a verbal agreement with a £70 million Premier League striker for a summer transfer. Recent reports have linked United with various forwards, including Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku. However, these remain speculative, with no official announcements from the club.
In recent transfer activity, United secured the signing of Rasmus Højlund from Atalanta in July 2023 for an initial £64 million, with potential add-ons. Højlund has since become an integral part of the squad, wearing the number 9 jersey.
Additionally, in February 2025, forward Marcus Rashford joined Aston Villa on loan until the end of the season, seeking more playing time after limited appearances at Old Trafford.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Manchester United fans are advised to await official communications from the club regarding new signings. Until then, reports of agreements with high-profile strikers remain unverified.
