**Match score:** N/A — transfer announcement, no fixture result involved.
LONDON — West Ham United forward Jarrod Bowen has committed his future to the east London club after its relegation from the Premier League, dealing a setback to Manchester United's reported interest in the 29-year-old, according to Sky Sports.
Bowen said he intends to stay at West Ham and help the side win promotion from the Championship, Sky Sports reported on Friday. Manchester Evening News separately reported that Bowen has signed fresh terms with the Hammers, ending speculation over a potential summer move to Old Trafford.
West Ham were relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2025-26 season. Bowen, who joined the club in 2020, had been linked with several sides, including Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea, according to earlier reporting.
Global perspective: The decision reshapes the early summer transfer market in England and removes a tracked attacking target from Manchester United's shortlist as the window opens.
