Recently, the transfer of Manchester United midfielder McTominay has attracted widespread attention. According to Sky Sports and Mirror reports, due to United's unwillingness to reduce the asking price for McTominay, Fulham has decided not to continue to offer, which may lead to United in the introduction of Ugarte this transfer deal stalled.
Manchester United had hoped to raise funds through the sale of McTominay in order to successfully complete the transfer of Ugarte. However, with McTominay's stay in the team becoming a certainty, United may face a shortage of funds, which in turn will affect their plan to sign Ugarte. This change not only frustrates United's midfield reinforcement plan, but also reflects the club's complicated game and strategy adjustment in the transfer market.
Ugarte, a rising star in the midfield for Paris Saint-Germain, joined the club last summer for a whopping fee of over £50 million. However, with Paris bringing in strong players such as Joao Neves, Ugarte's future with the team has become uncertain. Manchester United had hoped to capitalize on this opportunity to bring in Ugarte, but now it seems that the plan may be shelved due to financial issues.
Meanwhile, United's midfield is facing a challenge in terms of staff restructuring. Casemiro was originally rumored to be a possible departure, but finding the right buyer has not been easy. The rise of youngster Menu, who has earned himself a stable starting spot, has further intensified the competition for personnel in United's midfield.
In the face of these challenges, Manchester United have to reconsider their midfield reinforcement strategy. They may need to look for other more cost-effective targets, or make up for the lack of midfielders through internal tapping. In addition, United will also need to maintain flexibility and patience in the transfer market to cope with the various changes and challenges that may arise.
