Reports have suggested that United officials have already held talks with the player’s representatives to explore the possibility of a summer move.
Despite the growing interest, Newcastle United remain determined to retain their midfield talisman.
Guimarães, who has made 147 appearances with 30 goals and 25 assists, remains central to the club’s project under Eddie Howe.
His recent absence has been felt, with Newcastle enduring a difficult run of results, including a heavy Champions League defeat to FC Barcelona and a derby loss to Sunderland.
While links to Manchester United persist, some reports suggest the speculation could be part of negotiations aimed at securing an improved contract at Newcastle.
The midfielder is currently tied to the club until 2028, but discussions over a new deal could be on the horizon.
With interest from one of England’s biggest clubs and Newcastle eager to keep hold of their captain, Guimarães’ future is shaping up to be one of the key storylines of the upcoming transfer window.
