The Red Devils will be planning ahead to the 2024 summer transfer window after a recent minority takeover at Old Trafford, led by INEOS chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Man Utd head coach Erik ten Hag’s future is uncertain after a disappointing 2023/24 campaign in the Premier League and Champions League, but he could have redeemed himself following a stunning 4-3 FA Cup quarter-final victory over Liverpool on 16th March. Malen has previously been linked with a move to the Manchester giants and could be set for a Dortmund exit this summer.

Malen would remain at Dortmund following February 1st’s transfer window deadline, with the Red Devils failing to make any permanent or loan signings over the course of the month. However, Romano has indicated that United have a “good relationship” with the Netherlands international’s agents, who also represent Rasmus Hojlund, though there are no current negotiations taking place ahead of the summer transfer window.
Malen ranks in the top 1% of attacking midfielders/wingers across Europe’s big five leagues, as well as the Champions League and Europa League, for non-penalty goals per 90 minutes (0.67) over the last 365 days.
Manchester United and Liverpool are set to go head-to-head in competition for Malen’s signature, with Arsenal also interested in the forward. Meanwhile, last month ten Hag and Robin van Persie were spotted at a restaurant with the Dutchman’s agent, though it is unknown what the reasoning behind this was.
Manchester United are set to discuss Malen as a potential target for the 2024/25 season. The Red Devils have previously mulled over whether to move for the Borussia Dortmund star. However, sources understand that key figures at Old Trafford believe he should be considered as a potential signing this summer.
Decision makers at Old Trafford are confident Malen would represent good value for money, with Dortmund reportedly set to demand £43m for his services. The Red Devils are particularly keen to add options to the right-side of their attack, with Antony failing to make a telling impact in his almost two seasons at the Theatre of Dreams.
