Manchester United have already made significant signings behind the scenes, with Mirror Football highlighting five examples. One notable signing was Christopher Vivell, who had a breakout 2019-20 season at Red Bull Salzburg before moving to Borussia Dortmund in January 2020. His success showed the shrewdness of Salzburg’s deal, allowing them to make a tidy profit when Leipzig acquired him in 2020.

Leipzig reportedly paid an initial €16 million to secure the defender from Dinamo Zagreb, and after just two years, they sold him for over five times that amount. The funds received from the sale were used to bring in new players, including French center-back Castello Lukeba and forward Lois Openda. Several players have moved between Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig in recent years, with Szoboszlai being one of the highest-profile transfers.

Similarly, Sesko’s journey is noteworthy, having joined Salzburg at 16 and later becoming a significant goal scorer for his country. Another exciting transfer was Adeyemi, who made his international debut while at Red Bull Salzburg before moving to Borussia Dortmund, where he has found success. United fans can look forward to the impact of these talented acquisitions in the upcoming seasons.
