Manchester United are getting increasingly hopeful of making another signing in the coming weeks to strengthen their midfield.
The club have been pursuing Manuel Ugarte for some time now, with United and PSG set to meet this week to discuss terms for both Ugarte and Jadon Sancho as the pair switch sides.
United were looking at long-term transfer target Morten Hjulmand, however the midfielder has recently accepted the Sporting Lisbon captain’s band, suggesting he’s set to stay at the club for the foreseeable future.
Now though, United may have found another star who can bring a wealth of experience to Old Trafford.
United negotiate contract terms with Adrien Rabiot
For some time now United have been linked with French midfielder Adrien Rabiot. The 29-year-old is a proven champion having lifted 23 trophies with PSG and Juventus combined.
In the final weeks of his contract at Juventus, Rabiot rejected any attempts to extend his contract amid interest from United for his signature.
CaughtOffside have reported that United have recently held talks with Rabiot and his mother who acts as his agent. It was expressed that the talks appear to be headed in a positive direction with all parties optimistic in arriving at an agreement.
It’s widely believed that the Red Devils are winning the race for the veteran midfielder, despite interest from Aston Villa, Galatasaray, Newcastle United, Chelsea and Liverpool. In the recent days it’s come to light that the 29-year-old has rejected a contract offer from Liverpool in favour of an Old Trafford move.
As Rabiot is currently without a club since leaving Juve, he is a very low cost option for United to strengthen their midfield, especially with players like Scott McTominay and Casemiro looking to be sold in the coming weeks.
