Manchester United fans were recently caught up in the buzz of a supposed record-breaking transfer, with widespread social media claims suggesting the club had finalized a £111 million deal for a top-class striker.
The rumor included speculation that the new forward would be taking the No. 9 shirt from Rasmus Højlund, with Fabrizio Romano allegedly confirming the deal with his famous “Here we go.” However, there is no credible evidence backing such a massive claim.
Upon reviewing reliable sources and top-tier football journalists like Romano himself, there is no official word about Manchester United completing such a deal—especially one of this magnitude.
Leading football websites such as Manchester World, Team Talk, and Centre Devils make no mention of a £111 million striker signing, let alone any confirmed shirt number swap. This suggests the report is most likely fabricated or at best premature.
What we do know for sure is that United have successfully agreed on a deal to sign Matheus Cunha, a dynamic Brazilian attacker, for a fee of around £62.5 million.
Fabrizio Romano has reported that the verbal agreement is in place, with final steps expected soon.
This move aligns with Manchester United’s efforts to rejuvenate their forward line under new manager Rúben Amorim.
In midfield, the club is actively pursuing Ardon Jashari, a Swiss international currently playing for Club Brugge.
Despite being only 21 years old, Jashari already has four senior international caps and is gaining attention for his versatility.
Primarily a defensive midfielder, he’s also shown offensive potential—scoring 4 goals and assisting 6 times last season.
His ability to cover multiple roles in midfield makes him an attractive target for Amorim’s two-man holding midfield system.
Reports suggest that Club Brugge are open to selling Jashari for around £34 million, which is within United’s financial capabilities this summer.
Other clubs, including AC Milan, are also reportedly interested and have submitted bids in the region of €30 million.
United’s ability to convince the player and outbid competition will be crucial in the coming weeks.
