Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey is a summer target for Manchester United. The 24-year-old Dutchman had an impressive debut campaign for the Black Cats, scoring seven goals and helping the team finish 10th in the Premier League with 46 points from 32 games.

What's behind the interest?

Manchester United are considering a summer swoop for Brobbey after his impressive performances for Sunderland. The Red Devils are said to be "very much keen" on the Sunderland striker.

Why it matters for Sunderland

Sunderland signed Brobbey from Ajax last summer for a fee worth around £17 million. The Black Cats were undeterred by the drop in form, believing the Netherlands international's potent pairing of speed, size, and strength lent itself perfectly to the rigours of English football.

What comes next?

The Black Cats have "no intention of sanctioning a sale and will do all in their power to retain the 14-times capped Netherlands star, who is contracted to the club. Brobbey's impressive performances have also caught the attention of other top clubs, including Aston Villa, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur.

Sunderland's last result was a 2-1 win over Chelsea on 2026-05-24. The team's recent form has been impressive, with a record of WWLWD in their last five games.
