Man Utd news: Deal for new arrival 'practically done' as Sancho bid rejected

We are now well into the final week of the summer transfer window, which will slam shut on Friday night.

Manchester United are expected to be one of the busier teams as they look to complete their move for Manuel Ugarte. Talks remain ongoing with PSG for the Uruguayan, who has not featured in either of their opening two games this season.

That chase comes as Jadon Sancho edges closer to an exit from Old Trafford. The winger was again left out of the squad which lost to Brighton with his time at United appearing to be all but over.

Sancho's future is likely to be one of the biggest storylines over the final days of the window. Here, Mirror Football rounds up all the latest Manchester United transfer news.

Ugarte deal 'practically done'

United's pursuit for Manuel Ugarte looks set to be a successful one. The Red Devils have been chasing the PSG midfielder for much of the summer, though have struggled to agree a fee with the French giants.

But it now appears a compromise has been found in those discussions. According to Uruguayan newspaper El Pais, negotiations are 'practically closed' between the two sides, signalling a deal has been done.

It is expected that Ugarte will soon make his way to Manchester to iron out the final details. There is unlikely to be any serious obstacle though and 'everything is on track' for Ugarte to become a United player.

De Ligt move slammed

Former Bayern Munich star Lothar Matthaus has slammed the decision to sell Matthijs de Ligt to Manchester United. The Dutchman moved to Old Trafford earlier this summer, but Matthaus believes the deal has left Bayern worse off.

“Matthijs de Ligt was sold, even though he was the most stable defender over the past two years. He was the leader of the backline. Now Bayern are again looking for a successor to David Alaba. For me, it’s pathetic that this leader is missing," he told Sky Germany.

“If de Ligt had not been sold, I would not have worries at FC Bayern now. But my opinion about him is probably different to the people in charge. It’s a decision that has to be accepted. The best defender for many is sold.”

United reject Sancho swap

Manchester United chiefs are set to reject Chelsea's offer of a swap deal involving Jadon Sancho and Ben Chilwell. Sancho is heading for the exit door at Old Trafford, having been left out of the squad for both of their games so far this season.

The winger spent the second-half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund. But according to BBC Sport, United will now only sanction either a permanent move or a loan deal with an obligation to buy clause.

In the hopes of doing a deal, Chelsea are understood to have suggested Chilwell as part of a swap deal. The left-back's career at the Blues is over, but United are said to 'not be keen' on signing him.
