Manchester United have been informed of the two ways they can trigger a deal for Manuel Ugarte after seeing multiple offers rejected by PSG already this summer – while the part Bruno Fernandes could play in a potential move has been revealed.
The Red Devils are keen to rebuild theirn squad after a largely underwhelming season last time out. Although United salvaged their season by triumphing in the FA Cup to secure a place in next season’s Europa League, their woeful eighth place finish in the Premier League – the lowest-ever in Manchester United history – together with a shambolic showing in the Champions League, came awfully close to costing Erik ten Hag his job.
Ultimately, it was decided that the Dutchman would be given a third year at the helm – and while he has signed a new deal, the pressure will be on from the get-go and to prove United are upwardly mobile once again.
To help him along his way, ambitious minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe is willing to sanction something of a mini squad rebuild and what looks like a transformative summer has already gotten off to a quick start with Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro signing for fees worth a combined £88.7m.
