MOVE COMPLETED: Man United confirms the signing of £67M midfielder on 5-years deal- Squad number is already confirmed
Manuel Ugarte is expected to complete his Manchester United medical today, following his arrival from Paris Saint-Germain, and the club are hoping to register the player in time for the high-stakes Premier League encounter against Liverpool this weekend, reveals Dharmesh Sheth, exclusively to GIVEMESPORT.
Erik ten Hag is set to welcome a fifth new name to the squad, with Ugarte following in the footsteps of Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussar Mazraoui, all of whom have already been sworn in to bulk up the squad depth. The Dutch tactician will be hoping to revitalize the squad after a dismal eighth place finish last term, and a new-look board of higher-ups are providing full financial backing to support his ventures.
Man Utd Set to Announce Manuel Ugarte Soon
Red Devils hope to clear him for contention against Liverpool.
Speaking exclusively to GIVEMESPORT on Thursday morning, Dharmesh Sheth insisted that Manchester United were hoping to finalize all the paperwork as soon as possible, to ensure Ugarte has the opportunity to feature against Liverpool this weekend. He said:
“He was starting his medical yesterday. We’re told he’ll complete his medical today. We haven’t been given a formal announcement time just yet, but I think United are confident of beating the first deadline, which is midday Friday. So once he gets registered by then, which United are very confident of, he can actually be involved in United’s game against Liverpool on Sunday.”
