Manchester United Nears Midfielder Signing Amid Multiple Transfer Talks

Manchester United have decided against signing a new midfielder ahead of the transfer deadline, opting to rely on their current midfield roster, which includes Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte, Kobbie Mainoo, and Mason Mount, especially following injuries to Mount and Matheus Cunha. However, there are reports of advanced talks for a potential deal to bring in German midfielder Angelo Stiller from Stuttgart, which could still materialize before the deadline. Meanwhile, United are also negotiating to finalize the sale of young midfielder Zachary Baumann, who recently acquired Ukrainian citizenship and is expected to represent Ukraine internationally. On the outgoing front, Jadon Sancho is in talks for a loan move to Aston Villa, as Manchester United seeks to offload the player after limited impact since his 2021 arrival. Leeds United, in contrast, are set to permanently sell midfielder Darko Gyabi to Hull City amidst their own transfer activity, with Gyabi having had minimal first-team involvement this season. These developments highlight the ongoing squad adjustments by Premier League clubs as the transfer window closes.
