Manuel Ugarte blow
Manchester United have failed to sign Manuel Ugarte in time to feature against Liverpool this weekend, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The midfielder was hoping to feature in the Red Devilsβ matchday squad at Old Trafford, though the higher powers at the club felt it would be a βstretchβ.
Ugarte was not in line to start the match as he had not featured regularly for PSG in pre-season and is therefore lacking match fitness.

Prem rival joins race to sign Ben Chilwell
Manchester United will need to act quickly if they are to win the race to sign Ben Chilwell.
The defender is expected to leave Chelsea today after being publicly transfer listed by Enzo Maresca, and the Red Devils are among those to have been linked with the England international.
However, they are not alone in their admiration of the left-back.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Brentford contacted Chelsea on Thursday to enquire about Chilwellβs situation.
The ex-Leicester City star was expected to leave Stamford Bridge on a permanent basis this week, but with such little time left in the window, it remains to be seen whether loan approaches are entertained as well.

Ugarte race is on after medical passed
Manuel Ugarte has completed his United medical ahead of his Β£50.7m move from PSG, and now the race is on to get him registered.
United want to sign up the 23-year-old by midday on Friday to be available for Sunday’s home game against Liverpool, especially with Mason Mount ruled out for a month with a hamstring injury.
United agreed a fee on Monday night after Unitedβs Jason Wilcox headed to Paris to finalise negotiations.
Wilcox was joined in the French capital by Matt Hargreaves, the club’s director of player negotiations, who cobbled the terms together after Ugarte had long since agreed personal arrangements with the club.

Liverpool may aid Utd cash injection
The transfer window works in strange ways.
United are keen to sanction the permanent sale of Jadon Sancho before Friday’s deadline, and the actions of bitter rivals Liverpool may now have increased the likelihood of this happening.
Juve have a precarious financial position, needing to balance the books carefully in order to adhere with Serie A and UEFA regulations.
Bringing in Sancho, on sizeable wages, is something the Old Lady could only realistically do after permitting one of their big names to leave.
On cue, Liverpool have today concuded the move for Federico Chiesa, who has freed up around Β£80,000-per-week on the wage bill, and opened an attacking spot for Sancho to fill.
It is understood that Juve are set to accelerate talks with United well into deadline day, in hope a late agreement can be struck.

INEOS will seriously consider Sterling
Raheem Sterling could yet pull on a United shirt before the week is over.
The discussions internally within the club are taking place, but United’s INEOS chiefs are adamant that the issue regarding Sterling remains one which is Chelsea’s to solve.
Sky Sports transfer expert Darmesh Sheth has since shed a little further light on the unfolding situation.
He told Givemesport: “Manchester United is clearly going to be one of those options.
“Now this has come more from the Chelsea end, because they are offering Sterling to United. Now, United, make no mistake about it, if Sancho was to go, they don’t actually need to replace Sancho.
“They feel they’ve got enough quality and quantity in the forward lines to be able to deal with the Sancho departure.
“However, the idea of Sterling is something that they are considering, but they still maintain that the Sterling issue is a Chelsea issue, so they would be willing to allow Sancho to leave regardless of whether Raheem Sterling was to come to Manchester United or not.”

Toney message delivered to Old Trafford
The clearest indication yet of Ivan Toney’s transfer away from Brentford has been issued, after boss Thomas Frank spoke out on this weekend’s fixture.
Toney must secure a move away from the Bees within the next 48hours in order to wrap up a transfer before the UK deadline, with United and Chelsea still in the reckoning.
Frank has now confirmed that Toney will not be playing for the club this weekend. The striker has yet to make an appearance for Brentford this season as he seeks to settle his future at the Gtech Community Stadium before Friday’s deadline and the closing of the Saudi Pro League window on Monday.
“I can say Ivan will not play on Saturday,” Frank announced at his pre-match press conference on Thursday. “Ivan is training well, is in good spirits and I am happy to answer more questions about Ivan next time..”

Ugarte drops Darwin Nunez comment
The soon-to-be marquee signing is known to be close friends with international team-mate Darwin Nunez.
The duo will soon be sworn Premier League rivals, but that hasn’t stopped Ugarte already speaking out on the Liverpool man this week.
“Darwin [Nunez] had moments where he was killed badly, and that is also something that has a lot of merit when you see where he is today,” Ugarte told Uruguayan broadcaster Channel 10.
“You have to be in the right head to get to where he got to with all the damage he got.
“When I see a teammate get hit, I sometimes feel like the next day it could be me, because people kill you the way they put you up there.
“The best thing is to surround yourself with people you love and trust, and not give the ball to the net, because thatβs how the net is nowadays.”

Sir Jim Ratcliffe urged to make Ivan Toney approach
Premier League legend Alan Shearer has urged United to consider a move for Brentfordβs Ivan Toney.
The England international has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia this week, but Shearer believes he should snub the approaches in favour of joining the Red Devils if an approach is made.
He told Betfair: βHe only has one year left on his contract, and I understand why some players would want to go to Saudi Arabia, but for someone like him who’s in the prime of his career, he’s got another four or five years ahead of him and I would hope that he stays in English football because I think he has a lot to offer.
βI am slightly surprised that Man United haven’t enquired about him. Maybe they have, maybe there’s something brewing behind the scenes that we don’t know about, but I think he’d do pretty well at Old Trafford.β
