Manuel Ugarte optimism

Manchester United have reportedly been handed fresh optimism in their pursuit of Manuel Ugarte.

Erik ten Hag's side will revisit negotiations imminently, according to GiveMeSport, as they look to sign the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder.

PSG are on the verge of signing Benfica wonderkid Joao Neves, and this could allow Man Utd to sign Ugarte.

Scott McTominay bid

Fulham have submitted a €27m offer for Man Utd star Scott McTominay, as per the Manchester Evening News.

Marco Silva’s side have now lodged three bids for McTominay as they look to bolster their midfield following Joao Palhinha’s long-awaited move to Bayern Munich.

It’s understood that Man Utd are likely to reject Fulham’s latest offer as they hold out for a fee worth over €30m. Galatasaray have also been linked with a move for Scotland international McTominay.
