After weeks of negotiations, Manchester United have secured a deal with Paris Saint-Germain to bring in talented midfielder Manuel Ugarte from the French club. This comes as no surprise as Man Utd has been on the hunt for a top-class defensive midfielder and Ugarte has long been their top target. Despite considering other players, Man Utd ultimately sealed the deal with Ugarte, reaching a 'total agreement' with PSG. The transfer was confirmed by several top sources, including Fabrice Hawkins and Fabrizio Romano, making it a monumental feat for the club. Ugarte is set to become Man Utd's fifth summer signing, joining other newcomers Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Noussair Mazraoui.
Bayern Munich director Max Eberl has justified selling Matthijs de Ligt to Manchester United by saying they can't have a bloated squad like Chelsea. Man Utd completed their signing of De Ligt last week, along with Noussair Mazraoui, Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro. However, they are still in the market for more additions, including Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte. Ten Hag, De Ligt's former coach at Ajax, has admitted that the player has failed to live up to expectations since his big-money move to Juventus in 2019.
The highly-anticipated Community Shield match between Manchester City and Manchester United is set to take place at Wembley Stadium, as the two clubs meet in a repeat of last season's FA Cup final. While United has made costly signings in the off-season, they will be without their most expensive purchase, teenager Leny Yoro, who sustained an injury during pre-season. On the other hand, City's new recruit Savinho is expected to make his debut, but the club's transfer plans may be affected by the significant prize money on offer for the winner of this match.
After their recent 3-0 loss to Liverpool, it has become clear that Manchester United needs to strengthen their squad this summer. With the departure of Raphael Varane and the injury of new addition Leny Yoro, manager Erik ten Hag is looking to add another defender and midfield depth to his team. United has their sights set on highly-rated Arsenal youngster Chido Obi-Martin, who has been a standout performer for Arsenal's youth teams. Despite some initial complications with the deal, including a medical and Premier League investigation, it seems that a deal is close to being completed.
As the transfer window deadline approaches, Manchester United faces a major overhaul with more players expected to leave than join. Despite the slow pace of outgoings, recent reports have revealed signings of Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee. However, the squad still needs reinforcements, including a central midfielder and potential left and right-backs. As players return from international tournaments, the pace of activity is expected to pick up, and the Manchester Evening News' live blog provides all updates on United's pre-season tour and upcoming season.
