Manchester United to announce two transfers as Manuel Ugarte deal completed

Manchester United are set to announce two transfers in the coming days – Manuel Ugarte will fly to England to complete a £42 million move from Paris St. Germain.

This summer, the club has bolstered its squad with the signings of Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Noussair Mazraoui, investing £139 million to fill four crucial positions.

The club have so far generated around £60 million from player sales in terms of departures, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Mason Greenwood, and Willy Kambwala among those leaving Old Trafford.

According to renowned transfer specialist David Ornstein, United have now agreed a fee with Paris St. Germain for the £42.3 million transfer of 23-year-old midfielder Manuel Ugarte this summer.

The deal will also include a further £8.4 million in add-ons, which will be linked to Ugarte’s performances and club success on the field.

Ugarte will fly to Manchester today to complete his medical and sign for the club. PSG asked for a fee of around £51 million for the player, but United were reluctant to pay.

Instead, this £51 million fee will consist of a mix of the guaranteed £42.3 million and the add-ons, and various reports have claimed that this agreement was reached on Monday evening.

With United set to announce their new player soon, Hannibal Mejbri’s move to Burnley could be confirmed on Monday.

The player underwent his medical at Turf Moor on Monday before the Championship move. Although it was initially considered a loan with an obligation to buy, United requested that this be altered to a permanent transfer to receive the fee for Mejbri earlier.

We wish Mejbri the best of luck in his next adventure.
