Eager to strengthen their defence in the coming months, Manchester United are interested in a full-back targeted by Manchester City for the 2026 transfer window.
During the last summer transfer window, Manchester City attempted a double swoop at Newcastle for Bruno Guimaraes and Tino Livramento. Ultimately, neither of the Magpies' starters joined the Sky Blues. The latter were interested in the English right-back, having lost Kyle Walker this summer.
The Premier League giants were cooled in this case by Newcastle's XXL demand: €80m (£70m). However, Manchester City did not recruit in this position. Which has pushed Matheus Nunes, Rico Lewis and Abdukodir Khusanov to share minutes since the start of the season at right-back.
Manchester United want to snatch Livramento from City
A situation which poses no problems for the Sky Blues, but which cannot last forever. Consequently, Manchester City remain in search of a right-back in the 2026 transfer window and have not forgotten Tino Livramento, according to information from GiveMeSport. The British outlet also mentions Manchester United's interest in the 23-year-old player.
“What makes Tino Livramento beautiful is that he can play on both sides. So I understand why Manchester United are interested in this player. And let us not forget that Jason Wilcox (Red Devils' football director) knows him extremely well. So he also plays a role in this matter,” revealed journalist Ben Jacobs.
Newcastle want to extend Tino Livramento
Despite this, Manchester City would be the club most determined to sign the Chelsea-trained player and the most advanced. But even for the Sky Blues, this case is far from being settled in advance. Indeed, Newcastle still want to keep their gem.
“Ross Wilson, Newcastle's new sporting director, has just arrived and one of his first tasks, with a few other members of the club, is to convince Livramento (whose contract expires in June 2028) to sign a new contract,” added Ben Jacobs. This case thus risks animating the English transfer market in 2026.
