Manchester United have shown an interest in Barcelona’s attacking midfielder Fermin Lopez as they look to add to their goalscoring options in the next transfer window.
The Spain international, 23, is rated in the £70million bracket and is also coveted by Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea after netting five times for the Catalans this season.
Lopez was ruled out of last summer's World Cup triumph with a foot injury. However, he has long had admirers at Old Trafford, even if there is an acknowledgement that United’s finances may be an issue.
The club have been linked with Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin this week, a player they looked at but didn’t move for during his last year at Everton.
United fear their Slovenian striker Benjamin Sesko could be out until at least January with a shin injury and desperately need cover for the 23-year-old, as manager Michael Carrick is left without a recognised centre-forward.
Daily Mail Sport understands a move for Calvert-Lewin is viewed as difficult given the fierce rivalry between the two clubs.
Calvert-Lewin has revitalised his career at Leeds after joining on a free transfer in the summer of 2025, following an injury-plagued end to his time at Everton.
The England striker is also believed to be discussing a new deal at Elland Road, such has been his impact. The 29-year-old has scored 20 goals in 49 appearances for Leeds, including five in ten games at the start of this season.
United will also look at defenders in January if any spare funds are found.

Such a big club in the world never think of signing players like Erling, Mbappe, Rapinha, Yamal, Latura Martinez,Vini Jr. Don't know about their signing process because their current team can't even qualify for the Europa league.

it's very funny and ridiculous at the same time if this is true. Even Balde that has lost his place in the team doesn't want MAN U how much more Fermin a regular player for the best club in the world. MAN U it's a pipe dream, wake up please.

Before spending more as we expecting you to spend, please change managers and get the proven Epl experienced manager or a manager who is worldly recognized such as Conte, Urnao Emry, even Fabian Husler he is doing great at Brighton season in and out. I don't really think Carrick is at that level of managing the United team, reason being there is too much high expectations on him, and he doesn't seem to handle it. Secondly, he loves the team too much.
Getting experienced manager isn't the solution, their environment / atmosphere is the most important thing for them now because the post Ferguson era have experienced great managers & they were all riducled out of the club. The atmosphere around the club is not the best for a good manager to come into.

No ambitious player should go to man utd during this period because the environment there is highly toxic.
