The Daily Briefing covered a report from Ben Jacobs yesterday, where the renowned journalist said a move to Gallagher would be the most viable option for Manchester United.
Man United contacts Conor Gallagher’s agent
Man United’s interest in the player dates back to the summer. Ruben Amorim was keen to sign the Atletico Madrid star on loan, but the move did not materialize as the Spanish side were unwilling to let him leave on loan.
Jacobs reported that United could visit again in January to see if their stance on a loan move has softened.
And now a reliable transfer insider with sources close to the club has claimed that Gallagher’s agent has spoken to Manchester United.
The Red Devils are ‘very keen’ to sign the midfielder and according to the insider, the former Chelsea star is also keen on a move to Old Trafford.

Conor Gallagher would be a great signing for Manchester United
Gallagher previously described as ‘unbelievable’ by Jermaine Defoe will undoubtedly be a great addition to Ruben Amorim’s team.
The England international has emerged as one of the Premier League’s most complete box-to-box midfielders, demonstrating a high work rate, tactical discipline and consistent end product in both England and Spain.
Crucially, Gallagher is scoring goals from midfield, something United have sorely lacked, with Bruno Fernandes currently the only reliable goalscorer in the center of the pitch.
His most productive season came during his loan spell at Crystal Palace in 2021-22, where he scored eight Premier League goals in 34 appearances.
He later backed that up with a strong 2023-2024 season at Chelsea, scoring seven goals in league and FA Cup competitions.
Gallagher’s versatility further enhances its value. Throughout his career he has operated as a defensive midfielder, No. 8, No. 10, and even in wide midfield roles, adapting seamlessly depending on tactical demands.
| Position | Games | Goals | Assists |
|---|---|---|---|
| Defensive midfielder | 60 | 15 | 6 |
| Central midfielder | 166 | 20 | 22 |
His performances in different positions underline why he is seen as a ready-made solution for Amorim’s high-intensity system.
