Man United really want to sign another £100m star after Lenny Yoro Deal done

Man United considering new options for their midfield this summer.

As a result, their quest for Manuel Ugarte is jeopardized by financial constraints.

According to Manchester World, Adrien Rabiot and Joao Neves have been identified as midfield prospects for Manchester United, who are looking to bolster their roster even more this summer.

Although Manchester United has already announced the £40 million arrival of Bologna forward Joshua Zirkzee and is expected to announce the £50 million arrival of Lille starlet Leny Yoro in the coming days, it is anticipated that the team will experience financial difficulties.

As a result, it is anticipated that Casemiro, Hannibal Mejbri, or Scott McTominay will leave the team this summer.

The club does not have to rebuild a roster because Erik ten Hag has stated that he will remain at Old Trafford.

The arrival of Zirkzee and pending arrival of Yoro have shored up two areas of play, but now the midfield is expected to gain new recruits with Benfica’s Neves and Rabiot, recently released by Juventus, both options, though Neves is unlikely.

As the summer transfer window heading into the 2024/25 campaign heats up, Manchester United have been proactive in their pursuit of their targets.

Leny Yoro is expected to sign in the next few days, to join up with Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee, who was announced by the club a few days ago.

The club remain to be linked with several targets, including Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite and PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte, but United are keen on both Neves and Rabiot according to Manchester World.

Neves – who is Benfica’s next “homegrown superstar” according to journalist Zach Lowy – would be an unlikely signing, with the 19-year-old star’s £100m release clause set by Benfica likely to be too high for Manchester United as of right now.

Rabiot, however, would present an immediately available option following his recent release from Juventus. The French midfielder played all five of his country’s games at EURO 2024, performing well, and is viewed as a low-cost option that would add another level of quality to the first team.

Manchester United have been interested in PSG man Manuel Ugarte across the window, but now according to CaughtOffside, the deal is nearing a collapse.

They say Manchester United don’t have enough money in the budget to complete a deal for Ugarte, unless they are able to find a suitor and sell Casemiro.

Man United are currently experiencing difficulties in moving the Brazilian international on, so are unable to make a full move for Ugarte, which also lays reason as to why Rabiot has been discussed as an option.

The report also states that their pursuit of the Uruguayan is in ‘serious danger’ of collapsing, with there being a potential chance that by the time they do manage to sell Casemiro, then Ugarte may have already made the switch to another club.
