During the summer transfer window, Manchester United let 12 players leave, both on loan and permanent deals, as part of a massive squad rebuild at Old Trafford. André Onana was the last departure, joining Trabzonspor on loan. This followed United signing goalkeeper Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp on the final day of the transfer window. However, one United player could still leave despite a permanent transfer falling through.
Sam Mather, a United academy graduate, was set to move to Turkey, specifically Kayserispor, after Onana’s departure. The Turkish transfer window closed on Friday, but the 21-year-old was reportedly on the verge of leaving just before the deadline. According to the Manchester Evening News, United ultimately cancelled the deal, feeling they would not be able to complete all formalities on time. This happened even though both parties had already agreed on a fee, a buy-back clause, and personal terms.
Mather, who did not make any senior appearances for United despite being part of the 2024 pre-season tour, now finds himself in uncertainty. He is expected to train with the first team and play selected matches for the academy until his situation is reviewed again in January.
The Mirror noted that a move could still be possible for him, as the transfer window remains open in Serbia, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. The forward has previously attracted interest from Sweden and Germany.
The English youth international signed his first professional contract with United in 2021 and spent the past two seasons on loan in the lower leagues with Rochdale and Tranmere Rovers.
Tyrell Malacia also expected to leave
Another player who was almost certain to leave United but ultimately stayed is Dutch left-back Tyrell Malacia. A member of the so-called “bomb squad”, Malacia was not allowed to train with the rest of the team and was linked to Eyüpspor in Turkey. His proposed loan to Spanish side Elche also collapsed on the final day of transfers.
Although Marcus Rashford, Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Alejandro Garnacho left either on loan or permanent deals, Malacia remains a United player and was a surprise inclusion in the Premier League squad. However, he has yet to make the bench, and it remains to be seen whether he will get any minutes this season.
