The transfer mill is churning once again, with Man Utd believed to be lining up a move for Malick Thiaw, the defender from Newcastle. Sources close to the club suggest they are exploring options to reinforce their squad ahead of the run-in. Liverpool and Chelsea may look to intervene if talks continue without resolution. Across the season 25/26, Man Utd have let in 37 goals in 26 (1.42 per game), roughly in line with the Premier League average. Malick Thiaw would be expected to give them some extra stability and depth for the tougher stretches of the season. Newcastle continue to be linked with Julian Ryerson, Omari Hutchinson and Lorenzo Pellegrini while Man Utd are also rumoured to be tracking Anthony Gordon, Alejandro Balde Martinez and Alessandro Bastoni.
