Manchester United secured a hard-fought 3-2 win over Burnley at Old Trafford on Sunday, August 30, in the Premier League. Josh Cullen scored an own goal, while Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes also got on the scoresheet to help Ruben Amorim's team pick up their first win of the season.
Meanwhile, the Red Devils have rekindled their interest in a Premier League goalkeeper. Elsewhere, the English side are eyeing a move for Conor Gallagher.
On that note, let's look at the major Manchester United transfer stories from August 31, 2025.
Manchester United eyeing Emiliano Martinez
Manchester United have initiated talks to sign Emiliano Martinez this summer, according to acclaimed journalist Fabrizio Romano. The English giants are keen to sign a new goalkeeper this summer, with both Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir failing to impress.
The Cameroonian was dropped for the first two games of the new campaign, with Bayindir selected between the sticks. However, the Turkish custodian hardly covered himself in glory and looked particularly shaky at set pieces.
Meanwhile, Onana was reinstated in goal for last weekend's EFL Cup second round tie against Grimsby Town. Unfortunately, the 29-year-old was culpable for both goals as the Red Devils succumbed to a humiliating defeat at the hands of the League Two side.
Bayindir reclaimed his place in Saturday's 3-2 win over Burnley, but the goalkeeper situation remains tense. Manchester United remain locked in negotiations with Royal Antwerp for Belgian custodian Senne Lammens.
However, with talks progressing slower than expected, the Premier League have turned to Emiliano Martinez as a possible alternative to the 23-year-old. The 2022 FIFA World Cup winner has been linked with a move to Old Trafford for a while. The Red Devils have already established contact with the Argentine as well as Aston Villa.
Red Devils want Conor Gallagher
Manchester United are interested in Conor Gallagher, according to Caught Offside. The Premier League giants are keen to upgrade their midfield before the end of the summer and the Englishman has emerged as an option.
Gallagher already has experience of playing in the Premier League with Chelsea. The 25-year-old moved to Atletico Madrid last summer, but could be allowed to leave this year for around £45m.
The situation has alerted the Red Devils, while Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are in the race as well. Manchester United have reportedly identified Gallagher as an alternative to Adam Wharton, but the report adds that Spurs are leading the race for his signature at the moment.
Newcastle United interested in Eduardo Camavinga
Manchester United face competition from Newcastle United in the race to sign Eduardo Camavinga this summer, according to Fichajes. The French midfielder's future at Real Madrid remains unclear and the Premier League duo are ready to take advantage.
Camavinga hasn't lived up to expectations at the Santiago Bernabeu, but his stock remains high. The Red Devils are apparently eyeing the 22-year-old as an alternative to Carlos Baleba.
Meanwhile, the report adds that the Magpies are willing to offer €40m for Camavinga this summer. Los Blancos could be open to his departure this summer, but reportedly want €70m to let him go.
