Man Utd: Romano reveals Ratcliffe’s fifth signing ‘close’ after ‘positive meeting’ with Euro giants

Man Utd are reportedly in the final stages of negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain over a deal to sign Uruguay midfielder Manuel Ugarte.

Ugarte only joined PSG in 2023 but is available this summer, with extremely keen on signing him.

The Parisiens spent £51million to sign him from Portuguese giants Sporting and are only willing to sell if that figure is met.

They have been in talks with the Red Devils for several weeks now, , though a swap deal is unlikely to materialise.

Ugarte is not training with the PSG first team amidst uncertainty over his future at the club and he was unsurprisingly not included in their Ligue 1 opening fixture last Friday.

He did play 37 times across all competitions last season, starting 21 times in the French top fli…

Two reasons Chelsea failed to sign Victor Osimhen as Napoli strip him of No.9 shirt

Victor Osimhen has been stripped of the number nine shirt at Napoli after his move to Chelsea fell through on deadline day, according to reports.

His new contract has a release clause in there worth around £110m but Napoli s demands still seemed to cause a problem on deadline day despite a transfer seemingly on for most of the day.

Initially it seemed that Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli had won the race after agreeing…

Former Tottenham midfielder Rafael van der Vaart insists new Man Utd signing Matthijs de Ligt has never been the same since leaving Ajax.

The Red Devils centre-back was handed his first start since joining in the summer from Bayern Munich in their 3-0 defeat to Liverpool before the international break.

Prior to the humiliating home defeat to Arne Slot s men, De Ligt had come off the bench in Premier League matches against Fulham and Brighton.

But his form against Liverpool and two international fixtures for the Netherlands over the last week won t have helped his chances of getting into Erik ten Hag s starting XI.

Former Chelsea boss ‘very interested’ in Everton job amid pressure on Sean Dyche
