According to sources from England and Germany, MU is ambitious to stir up the transfer market with the top target being Bayern Munich center-back Dayot Upamecano.

The "Red Devils" see the French player as an important piece to strengthen the defense and return to the path of success.

Upamecano's contract with Bayern expires in June 2026. Negotiations for an extension are stalled due to financial disagreements.

This situation opens up a great opportunity for MU, the team needs an experienced and leadership center-back to replace Harry Maguire.

Upamecano's profile fits the bill perfectly at Old Trafford, having won the Bundesliga and having experience of playing on the big stage of the Champions League.

Furthermore, the former RB Leipzig man's contract is set to expire, making him a smart transfer target.

However, the deal is not easy. MU faces fierce competition from other Premier League clubs, as well as European giants.

One of MU's main rivals is Real Madrid . "Los Blancos" see Upamecano as a top priority to strengthen the defense, replacing Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba.

Spanish press reported that Real Madrid is in contact with Upamecano's representative to discuss personal terms.

To overcome rivals, MU considers negotiating with Bayern Munich about a transfer deal in January 2026.

In this case, Bayern Munich will earn a significant amount of money, instead of losing the 27-year-old center-back for free at the end of the season.

The arrival of Upamecano, if the deal goes through, would significantly improve the quality and tactical flexibility for United – especially the 3-4-2-1 system that Ruben Amorim is pursuing.
