Manchester United have six days to seal a deal for Manuel Ugarte after Saturday’s defeat of the season against Brighton and Hove Albion offered a reminder of the need for reinforcements. But Paris Saint-Germain aren’t sanctioning the 23-year-old’s exit easily, with negotiations for Erik ten Hag’s top midfield target set to go down to the wire.

Meanwhile, multiple players face uncertain futures at Old Trafford and could still depart before Friday’s 11pm deadline.

Scott McTominay could have made his final appearance for United off the bench in the 2-1 loss at the Amex Stadium amid interest from Napoli.

Victor Lindelof, Hannibal and Christian Eriksen are among the other players in the shop window, as is Jadon Sancho.

The 24-year-old winger has been excluded from both of United’s first two Premier League squads of the campaign after reportedly reaffirming his desire to leave.

However, his most likely destination now appears to be off the cards, leaving his future in serious limbo with time running out.

It’s primed to be a busy few days in M16 in the build-up to Sunday’s crunch clash against Liverpool at Old Trafford.
