Transfer: Arsenal set to sign two Man Utd players

Arsenal are set to carry out a double raid on Manchester United as they target James Scanlon and Habeeb Ogunneye.

The UK Telegraph reports that the Gunners are currently working on transfers for the two youngsters.

Scanlon is a 19-year-old winger, while Ogunneye is a 20-year-old defender.

Arsenal have embarked on an aggressive youth recruitment drive and are understood to be confident that deals for both players can be agreed this summer.

Scanlon joined United from Derby County in 2021 and has already made 24 international appearances for Gibraltar, the country of his mother’s birth. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Swindon Town.

Ogunneye played 21 matches on loan at Newport County last season before being recalled in January. The London-born defender has been involved in multiple first-team matchday squads at United, including the FA Cup semi-final victory over Coventry City in 2024.
