Manuel Ugarte's Injury and Transfer Outlook
Manuel Ugarte’s injury means he looks unlikely to leave Manchester United this summer. The live coverage was published on Saturday, June 27.
Transfer Activity at Old Trafford
Manchester United’s summer agenda remains active despite Ugarte’s situation, with the club monitoring West Ham United midfielder Mateus Fernandes and evaluating Real Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni, who is reportedly open to a sale. Tottenham Hotspur also monitors Fernandes, adding competition. Michael Carrick has placed Tchouameni on his scouting radar, signaling interest in midfield reinforcement. Midfielder Felix Nmecha of Borussia Dortmund is being pursued by United’s head of scouting, Christopher Vivell, who is in contact with his agents. Forward targets include Julian Alvarez and Brian Brobbey. Goalkeeper Andre Onana, bought for £47 million, will spend another season on loan at Trabzonspor after being replaced by Senne Lammens. United spent £47 million on Onana three years ago. Onana was replaced by Senne Lammens last summer.
Competing Interests from Other Clubs
Interest in United’s prospective signings extends beyond the club. Tottenham Hotspur has expressed desire for both Mateus Fernandes and Borussia Dortmund midfielder Sandro Tonali, the latter indicating willingness to consider a move to the London side. Tottenham’s interest in both Fernandes and Tonali underscores the club’s intent to bolster its midfield options. Manchester City is nearing completion of a deal for Elliot Anderson, a player United had also listed as a target. Real Madrid’s openness to sell Tchouameni adds further competition for United’s midfield reinforcement.
