Manchester United is interested in signing the 18-year-old rising forward Mohamed Kader Meite from Rennes to join their squad.
On 28 Jan 2026 GMT+7, developments around Manchester United followed their strong performance in last week's 3-2 away win over Premier League leaders Arsenal. Under Michael Carrick’s management, the team has won both games (including a 2-0 victory over Manchester City), climbing to 4th place with 38 points from 23 matches.
However, The Guardian reported that the 'Red Devils' have contacted the agent of the in-form 18-year-old forward Mohamed Kader Meite from Rennes to bring him into the squad.
It is estimated that Meite’s transfer fee is around 30 million euros (about 1.1 billion baht). Manchester United seeks to diversify their attacking options, increase choices, and strengthen the squad for the long term.
This season, Mohamed Kader Meite has played 19 matches for Rennes, scoring 3 goals and providing 2 assists. He has also been called up to France’s U21 national team.
