Manchester United has made headlines this summer by bolstering both their attacking force and goalkeeping unit. Under the guidance of Ruben Amorim, the Red Devils have completely restructured their offense, bringing in exciting talents like Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, and Bryan Mbeumo.
This summer spending spree has fans buzzing, but it seems there was one more player on the club’s radar before the transfer window slammed shut.
In a surprising twist, United sought to bring back former striker Danny Welbeck in the dying hours of the transfer window, according to Football Transfers.
The 34-year-old, currently lighting up the pitch for Brighton, had agreed to personal terms with Manchester United. Last season, he showcased his scoring prowess by netting ten goals in the Premier League, catching the eye of his former club once again. With the departure of Rasmus Hojlund to Napoli, the need for additional firepower became even more pressing for United.

However, Brighton put the brakes on the deal, citing a lack of time to secure a replacement for Welbeck. The Seagulls were not willing to let one of their key players go without a plan in place, leaving United fans wondering what could have been. The late-stage negotiations highlighted United’s desire to strengthen their squad further as they chase success this season.
Looking ahead, there’s still hope for United supporters, as Welbeck could potentially make his way to Old Trafford in the upcoming January transfer window. With the summer shake-up already revitalizing the team’s attack, the addition of a familiar face like Welbeck could provide the depth and experience needed to propel Manchester United back into contention for silverware.
