Red Devils Prepare Summer Move for Belgian Talent
Manchester United have established contact with Ajax to discuss the transfer of Mika Godts ahead of the summer window. While the club plans to recruit two central midfielders, adding a dynamic left-sided attacker remains a priority for the 20-time English champions.
RB Leipzig star Yan Diomande is a primary target for the role, but Godts has emerged as a serious alternative. Journalist Sacha Tavolieri reports that the Premier League side is currently exploring the financial conditions required to secure the 20-year-old.
“Manchester United officially made contact with Ajax Amsterdam to explore the potential terms of a deal for Mika Godts. Belgian talent will be one of the main attractions in the upcoming market and expected to leave the Dutch club next summer.”
Stellar Statistics Fuel European Interest
Godts has enjoyed a productive 2025-26 campaign in the Netherlands. The forward has accumulated 14 goals and 11 assists across 35 appearances in all competitions. His domestic form is particularly sharp, with 23 goal involvements in just 25 Eredivisie matches. He also gained vital experience in the Champions League league stage this season, featuring in eight fixtures.

His profile aligns with the INEOS recruitment strategy of targeting elite prospects before they reach superstar status. Frequently compared to Eden Hazard due to his technical dribbling and nationality, Godts is expected to be one of the most coveted exports from the Eredivisie this year.
Arsenal Competition and Ajax Stance
The pursuit will not be straightforward. Arsenal reportedly failed with a late bid during the January window, and the Gunners remain interested in the player. Although his contract in Amsterdam runs until June 2029, it is unlikely Ajax can ward off sustained interest from the league’s top spenders.
