Manchester United may be about to benefit from a previous piece of transfer business which could land them millions of pounds. United are in the middle of the summer transfer window as they prepare for the start of the 2025/2026 Premier League season. A host of players have already been linked with moves to Old Trafford - with one signing already confirmed. Matheus Cunha has completed a £62.5million switch to United from Wolves earlier this summer. United will still need more new signings, too, with every penny they can bring to the club vital to Ruben Amorim 's ambitions of strengthening up their squad before September 1. It was two years ago United sanctioned the permanent exit of Anthony Elanga - who in turn joined Nottingham Forest in a deal worth £15million. Since then, the Sweden international has scored 11 goals in 82 appearances for Forest as he helped to guide the club to a seventh-place finish in the Premier League last season and qualify for the Conference League. Two years on and Elanga could be on the move again . ChronicleLive have reported that Newcastle have made a £45million bid to sign the former United star, which has been swiftly rejected by Forest. The report claims that Forest would need to receive a fee in excess of £60million to even consider letting Elanga leave this summer. It remains to be seen if the Magpies will submit a second offer or, ultimately, if they are willing to meet Forest's asking price. If Newcastle were to agree a deal for Elanga, it would be a major boost to United's summer transfer business. While it is not clear what percentage of any fee or potential profit United would be entitled to, any extra money would naturally go a long way to funding Amorim's plans for this summer's transfer window.
