Manchester United are under pressure to secure their fifth summer signing before the clock strikes 11pm on Friday, August 30. INEOS have overseen a positive maiden transfer window, but Erik ten Hag is in desperate need of fresh blood in midfield before the deadline.
It’s no secret that Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte is the top target being pursued within the walls of Old Trafford.
But a swoop for the 23-year-old could be contingent on United’s success offloading players amid interest in Scott McTominay and Jadon Sancho.
Meanwhile, while the Red Devils are locked in on Ugarte, another of their primary targets has become the subject of serious interest from bitter rivals Liverpool.
INEOS and Ten Hag could face the ultimate final-week disappointment if both players evade their grasp.

Cole Palmer tipped for Man Utd
Jamie Carragher has tipped Cole Palmer to make a shock switch to Manchester United next summer if Chelsea endure another miserable season.
Palmer, who landed at Stamford Bridge from Manchester City in a £43million deal last year, is known to be a United supporter.
And Carragher wouldn’t be surprised to see him end up at Old Trafford if another 42-goal contribution season goes unrewarded.
“Something’s just come to me here,” Carragher said on The Overlap. “If Chelsea have another poor season, we were talking earlier about Manchester United having a real problem on that right wing.
“He [Palmer] is a big Man United fan, isn’t he? Would that not be something that United should visit maybe in 12 months if it doesn’t go well?
“You know what, I think that could happen. Yeah, Cole Palmer to Man United.”

Liverpool launch Jarrad Branthwaite hijack
Liverpool have made a stunning move to sign Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite, according to reports.
The Sun claim Liverpool are readying an eye-watering bid worth £70million to lure Branthwaite from Goodison Park.
There is said to be growing optimism a deal can be done, with the 22-year-old open to a move to Everton’s rivals.
It would come as a major blow to Manchester United, despite the arrivals of Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt this summer.
United have seen two bids for Branthwaite rejected, the latest worth up to £50m. He undoubtedly remains on the transfer shortlist.
Manuel Ugarte wait continues
Manchester United fans are growing increasingly impatient at the delayed pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte.
The 23-year-old was excluded from the PSG squad for a second successive game on Friday as INEOS work hard to seal a deal.
United may require to raise funds by offloading Scott McTominay or Jadon Sancho before launching a swoop for Ugarte.
But if they fail to do so and PSG refuse to budge on their £51million transfer demand, time could run out this summer.
There is confidence an agreement will eventually be struck, but it looks set to enter the final week of the window.
