  The summer transfer window is officially open soon, and the rumours are already hitting overdrive!In this week's transfer episode of Devils in the Box, Joe breaks down the latest high-profile names dominating the Manchester United news cycle. We start by analysing the surprise link to Borussia Dortmund’s high-flying full-back Julian Ryerson. With potential defensive reshuffling on the horizon under Michael Carrick—heavily dependent on Noussair Mazraoui's future—we take a deep dive into Ryerson's staggering creative numbers in the Bundesliga this season and discuss the transfer likelihood using the brilliant transfer tracker by United Muppetiers (go follow them!).Next, we shift our focus to the engine room. With reports whispering that Elliot Anderson is still leaning toward Manchester City despite Pep Guardiola's exit, we evaluate United’s next moves. We look at smart Premier League alternatives like West Ham's Mateus Fernandes and Bournemouth's progressive carrier Alex Scott, alongside the ultimate marquee dream target, Aurélien Tchouaméni. Plus, we react to an incredibly intriguing new link connecting Carrick with his former Middlesbrough midfield general, Hayden Hackney, who could be a lower cost depth option this summer.Finally, we look ahead to the international stage. We predict which Manchester United stars will book their tickets with England this summer, and send a massive congratulations to Matheus Cunha and Casemiro for officially securing their spots in Brazil's final squad.Get Involved:Out of all the midfield options discussed today—Mateus Fernandes, Alex Scott, Hayden Hackney, or Aurélien Tchouaméni—who is your number one priority for United to sign this summer?🔴 About Devils in the Box:Hosted by Joe—a former amateur journalist whose impact on the world of Man Utd reporting was roughly as significant as Antony's right foot.
