Man United considering surprise raid on Man City for ‘exceptional’ 67-goal star hailed by Guardiola
Manchester United are set for a major squad overhaul this summer, with several players expected to leave the club.
They’re enduring one of their worst-ever Premier League seasons, sitting 14th with 38 points—just two ahead of 17th-placed West Ham—after 15 defeats and only 10 wins.
Many hoped Ruben Amorim’s arrival would spark improvement, but the former Sporting Lisbon boss has struggled at Old Trafford, losing 13 games and crashing out of both domestic cups. However, Man United have reached the Europa League semi-finals after a dramatic win over Lyon, offering a glimmer of hope.
Despite Amorim’s poor start, INEOS are expected to back him in the summer with a squad rebuild, with Manchester United aiming to make five new signings.
The club has been linked with a host players since Amorim’s arrival including the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Victor Osimhen, and the latest player to be recently linked is Man City’s James McAtee.

And as per the latest from , the club are now considering a surprise swoop on their City rivals to sign the 22-year-old.
However, they are set to face considerable competition for his signature with the likes of Newcastle and AC Milan also said to be monitoring him while Nottingham Forest and Bayer Leverkusen are also showing keen on signing him.
What Pep Guardiola has said about James McAtee
McAtee is one of the exceptional talents to come out of the City academy, with his incredible statistics backing his potential, having scored 67 goals and assisted 37 in 196 games across his young career so far.
| Club | Games | Goals | Assists |
| Sheffield United | 75 | 14 | 8 |
| Manchester City | 32 | 7 | 0 |
| Manchester City U21s | 52 | 27 | 19 |
| Manchester City U18s | 34 | 15 | 9 |
He has made 32 appearances for the first team, scoring 7 goals, three of them coming against Salford during their 8-0 win in the FA Cup third round.
After his hat-trick against Salford, McAtee’s manager was full of praise for him, Guardiola labelling him as a ‘special talent’.
He said: “He’s an exceptional guy and he has a special talent. When he plays close to the opposition, he has an incredible sense of goal. His work ethic is unbelievable and he is aggressive.”
It is therefore no wonder some of the Premier League’s biggest clubs are in for the midfielder. Could Manchester City be on the verge of repeating their Cole Palmer mistake?
