Manchester United are reportedly eyeing a potential move for Brighton captain Lewis Dunk in the summer of 2025. Despite their heavy defensive investments this past transfer window, United’s manager Erik ten Hag is still on the hunt for an experienced figure to bring stability at the back.
Dunk, a seasoned Premier League campaigner with over 250 top-flight appearances, has been Brighton’s defensive rock since his promotion to their first team in 2010.
At 32, Dunk remains a key figure for Brighton, but with his contract expiring in 2026, Man United are exploring the possibility of a cut-price deal. After losing Raphael Varane and signing younger talents like Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt, United are keen on securing a veteran presence.
Dunk’s wealth of experience could prove valuable to Manchester United as they look to solidify their defensive lineup for the coming seasons. Although focused on his current responsibilities at Brighton, Dunk is reportedly open to the idea of a move to Old Trafford.
