As TEAMtalk reveals the Premier League club’s strategy regarding the young midfielder, a report claims that Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is “furious” that the Red Devils were unable to sign Conor Gallagher during the summer transfer window and that the Portuguese manager must now work with Kobbie Mainoo.
In the closing days of the summer transfer window, Gallagher and Mainoo’s futures were connected as Manchester United sought to bolster their team even more in order to place in the top four of the Premier League standings this year.
In order to play regular first-team games and have a chance of making the England squad for the 2026 World Cup finals, Mainoo informed Man Utd that he wants to move on loan for this season.
In the closing days of the summer transfer season, Gallagher was deemed a top target by Manchester United, who were searching for a midfield player.
The former Chelsea midfielder, who joined Atletico Madrid last summer and makes £200,000 a week at the Spanish team, was also a target for Tottenham Hotspur.
This week, reliable reporter Fabrizio Romano disclosed that Man Utd had discussions with Atletico for Gallagher during the last 48 hours of the transfer season, but the Spanish team turned down their requests.
Man Utd boss Amorim is “furious” that club co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS company were unable to sign Gallagher, according to Football Transfers, which supports those assertions.
Amorim feels “frustrated” that Mainoo’s request for a loan move for the 2025–2026 season was denied by Manchester United.
According to the source, Amorim personally desired to sign Gallagher, and Manchester United also made an attempt to acquire him during the January transfer window.
The Red Devils’ attempt to sign Gallagher is also impacted by Amorim’s displeasure at being left with Mainoo, who did not want to stay.
