Man United Join Race for Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White Ahead of Summer Window

United’s new wage structure could limit their ability to compete for the playmaker.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report that Manchester United are monitoring Morgan Gibbs-White for a possible summer move, with no formal bids disclosed.
  • Manchester City are also understood to be tracking Gibbs-White and team-mate Elliot Anderson, increasing competition for any deal.
  • Reports state Gibbs-White’s post-Spurs contract includes a release clause of around £60m and pays him roughly £150,000 per week.
  • United are seeking to lower their wage bill, with Casemiro confirmed to leave at season’s end, and Champions League qualification is cited as a potential boost to spending power.
  • Gibbs-White is being assessed as a contingency for Bruno Fernandes’ role, while Forest’s relegation fight is viewed as a factor that could influence summer exits.
