According to reports, Manchester United could still offload Manuel Ugarte this month, while they have been \u2018set a price\u2019 for Brighton\u2019s Carlos Baleba.<\/p>\n
Ugarte<\/strong> <\/a>has come into Man Utd\u2019s starting XI for their previous four Premier League and he produced one of his better performances for the club in Sunday\u2019s 1-1 draw against Leeds United.<\/p>\n This has proven to be former head coach Ruben Amorim\u2019s final game at Man Utd, with it announced on Monday morning that the Premier League giants have sacked him following a fallout with club chief Jason Wilcox.<\/p>\n This follows Amorim\u2019s explosive rant following the draw against Leeds United, with it also reported that he has felt aggrieved at a supposed lack of backing in this month\u2019s transfer window.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n In the summer, Man Utd<\/strong> <\/a>spent around \u00a3230m to sign Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Senne Lammens, with these deals made possible by several high-profile exits.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Southgate is \u2018Chosen One\u2019 to \u2018save Man Utd\u2019s soul\u2019; Amorim sack \u2018highlights total absurdity\u2019 of INEOS<\/a> Sesko has struggled, but the other three signings have made a positive impact this season.<\/p>\n Still, Man Utd are still well short in other areas and this is particularly the case in midfield, with the club needing to sign at least one new centre-midfielder this year.<\/p>\n To do this, United could look to raise funds through sales and Ugarte currently looks the most likely of their midfielders to move elsewhere.<\/p>\n Ugarte is attracting interest from Turkish giants Galatasaray, with a new report from Sabah claiming<\/a> that a new defensive midfielder is a \u2018priority\u2019 for them.<\/p>\n It is also claimed that Man Utd would \u2018accept a loan-to-buy deal worth 30 million euros (\u00a326m), though this hinges on one condition.<\/p>\n MORE MAN UTD COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<\/strong> The report explains: \u2018The English giant is asking for a \u20ac30 million transfer fee for the player and has indicated that they would accept a loan deal with a mandatory purchase clause.<\/p>\n \u2018Galatasaray, unwilling to take on this cost before their Champions League situation is finalised, is waiting for the results of the Atletico Madrid and Manchester City matches.\u2019<\/p>\n Regarding potential replacements, Brighton standout Baleba is among their options, though a fresh report from Spanish outlet Fichajes has disputed suggestions that his valuation has dropped as his \u2018price is set\u2019.<\/p>\n The report claims:<\/p>\n \u2018Brighton maintains that Carlos Baleba\u2019s true value is over \u00a3100 million and rejects any narrative suggesting a potential price reduction. The club believes his profile is unique in the current market and that there are no comparable alternatives with the same immediate impact.<\/p>\n \u2018The footballer\u2019s slight dip in performance at certain points during the season has led some suitors to speculate on figures closer to 70 or 80 million, but Brighton have responded publicly and privately that this scenario does not exist.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to reports, Manchester United could still offload Manuel Ugarte this month, while they have been \u2018set a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":675925,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[1169,748,117296,393,4884,225,1860,98,12234,12,101,16,2970,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-675924","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-brighton","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-carlos-baleba","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-home-page","14":"tag-leeds","15":"tag-manchester-united","16":"tag-manuel-ugarte","17":"tag-news","18":"tag-premier-league","19":"tag-uk","20":"tag-uncategorized","21":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115843816796869746","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=675924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675924\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/675925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=675924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=675924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=675924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
