"Manchester United have joined Chelsea in a heated race to sign Newcastle United's lightning-fast winger Harvey Barnes, according to Fichajes. United have submitted a staggering 60 million (roughly 52.5 million) bid for the 27-year-old, as they seek reinforcements on the flanks, as per the report. Man United are hunting for an attacker who can not only stretch opposition defenses down the wings, but also inject pace and creativity, qualities that Barnes possesses in abundance."
"Barnes is viewed as an ideal candidate to inject pace and creativity to their attack and with the Red Devils looking to permanently offload players like Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho next year, signing a player in that position is currently being considered crucial by Ruben Amorim and his recruitment team. However, the path to Old Trafford (or Stamford Bridge) will be anything but straightforward."
Manchester United and Chelsea are competing to sign Newcastle winger Harvey Barnes, with United submitting a 60 million (roughly 52.5 million) bid for the 27-year-old. Barnes offers pace, one-on-one beating of full-backs, the ability to cut inside or deliver dangerous crosses, and creativity that suits teams seeking width and unpredictability. Newcastle’s hierarchy currently prefer to retain Barnes as a central piece of the squad’s ambitions, though both suitors are prepared to return with improved offers if the initial bid is rejected. In the 2024-25 Premier League season Barnes scored 9 goals and provided 4 assists in 33 appearances.
