summary
AI predicts that Man UTD’s 2025/26 will launch XI with new signatures such as Matheus Cunha and other potential additions.
The Red Devils were able to go straight to Arsenal on August 17th, spending £185 million on three other stars.
The predicted group is 3-4-2-1, with Bruno Fernandez capturing the side after gaining interest from Saudi Arabia.
This summer, Manchester United has seen a lot of changes as Reuben Amorim prepares for his first full season in charge at Old Trafford.
Especially after the Europa League final defeat to Tottenham did not help the club’s finances, the Red Devils and Ineos may have to move some players before splashing cash to comply with the PSR.
Amorim also knows he will lead his man’s side against Old Trafford’s Arsenal on the opening weekend of the 2025/26 Premier League season.

Who are the winners and losers at the AI table?
The marquee signing Matheus Cunha is expected to appear on the opening weekend, but who else will be there on that side? X’s AI tool Grok is forecasting Man UTD’s 25/26 starting lineup, with three more new faces being supported to join Brazil.
AI predicts Man UTD’s 2025/26 starting lineup
Goalkeeper: Emiliano Martinez
According to Grok, the new goalkeeper for the 25/26 season at Old Trafford is Emiliano Martinez.
The Red Devils are seemingly searched during a search to replace Andre Onana two years after his arrival, and Argentina is thought to be open to joining Amorim’s side. The £40 million fee is being discussed in media sold by Aston Villa.
RCB: Osesir Mazraoui
Versatile defender Noussair Mazraoui is expected to start from the right side of the back three after 20 appearances as a central defender last season.
“The AI says Morocco has adapted well to Amorim’s correct centre-back role, providing defensive solidity and offensive contributions.”
CB: Renee Yoro
Lenny Yoro, only 19, appears to be a regular in the back over the next few years, with him making 33 appearances in his first season at Old Trafford.
According to Grok, he “has become a starter” and stipulates that he is fully healthy.
LCB: Matthijs de Ligt
With Lisandro Martinez still on the sidelines throughout his injury, it is predicted that Matigis de Liguto will form the back three alongside Mazraui and Yoro.
Despite having right foot on the right foot, Dutch International should continue to support Yoro and Mazrawie with experience at the highest level.
RWB: Amad Diallo
With the 3-4-2-1 system, Amado Diallo was impressed as a right-wing back in the early days of Amorim’s male UTD tenure.
Amorim also praised Diaro, saying the Coborians “has improved defensively,” and he is supported to start ahead of Daigo Darotto towards Arsenal and appear regularly there.
LWB: Patrick Daug
On the other side, signing Patrick Dorgue in January allowed him to nod more than his first full campaign as a Red Devils player.
Danish International is a regular in the second half of the 24/25 campaign, looking to add it to the 20 UTD appearances.
CM: Manuel Ugarte
The first of the two midfielders is Manuel Ugarte. Manuel Ugarte contributed eight goals under Amorim 24/7 despite being known for his defensive work.
Ugarte is said to be a “guaranteed starter” and has not been signed in the main midfield because “it brings energy and defensive Nuss to the midfield and aligns with Amorim’s desire for dynamism.”
CM: Bruno Fernandez (C)
After smoking interest from Saudi Arabia, Bruno Fernandez was always trying to start by predicting Xi with Grok’s Man UTD.
Bruno Fernandes ‘Man Utd Stats | |
|---|---|
game | 290 |
the goal | 98 |
assist | 86 |
The trophy won | 2 |
The Red Devils captain will be in his sixth year at Old Trafford and will be down as the iconic man UTD star despite the club’s struggles. Ai says Fernandez will “stuck in the midfield and probably play a little more advanced.”
RW: Matheus Cunha
It’s no surprise to see Man UTD’s new signature thrown straight into the original lineup after triggering the Matheus Cunha £62.5 million release clause.
The Brazilian contributed 19 goals last season as an offensive midfielder or second striker, with the remaining four contributors coming as wingers or centre forwards. Grok predicts that Amorim will use Cunha as one of the two No. 10s of the striker.
LW: Brian Mbeumo
Joining Cunha behind the forward is another new face of Brian Mbeumo. The Red Devils are very interested in the Brentford star, worth up to £60 million.
Grok says Mbeumo’s “pace and goal scoring” provides a “balance of offense.” After a best season in front of goals with bees 24/7, it’s hard to argue against it.
ST: Viktor is ro
Finishing the side might be Man Utd’s most exciting and expensive signature in the summer at Viktor Gyoker. The goalscoring machine, starring under Amorim in the reunion with Sports CP, has a £805 million release clause on his contract, but is being talked about the reunion.
Grok says Gyoker “is likely the answer to the struggles of achieving their goals, surpassing Rasmus Hojlund in the process.”
