Manchester United considers Ethan Wheatley's future as Schalke shows interest

Manchester United has made a key decision regarding striker Ethan Wheatley as Schalke expresses interest in acquiring the player. Wheatley, who spent the first half of the 2025/26 season on loan at Northampton Town and then moved to Bradford, finished with three goals in 37 appearances across all competitions. Although reports indicate Schalke is keen on a summer deal, United prefers to keep Wheatley and is open to another loan rather than a permanent transfer. The summer transfer window opens on 15 June, and United aims to capitalize on Wheatley's potential development with the right loan move.
