00:00Hello, Rich Fay here from Manchester World bringing you news that Manchester United have

00:06agreed a deal to sign Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain in the final week of the summer

00:12transfer window. United have agreed an initial deal of around £42 million which will include

00:20another €10 million, so £8.5 million in potential add-ons. So the total value of the

00:26deal will be around £50 million for Manchester United. Ugarte, their top midfield target,

00:32United believe that their patient approach has paid off. PSG were holding out for the

00:38£60 million Euro valuation that they paid for him a year ago when they signed him from

00:43Sporting Lisbon. United took the time, they didn't want to be rushed into a deal and they

00:48have secured that one. Manuel Ugarte could even travel to Manchester on Tuesday expecting

00:54a medical in the next 24 hours or so and he should be unveiled Wednesday or Thursday

01:00really and in line to make a potential Premier League debut against Liverpool this weekend.

01:06The deal for Ugarte is partially financed by the sales of Scott McTominay and Hannibal

01:12Medjberi. Scott McTominay will be leaving for Napoli. United have agreed a deal in the

01:18region of £25 million up front for Scott McTominay. He will go to the Serie A side.

01:25United just felt it was too good to turn down really for a player who is a squad option

01:29at best. Eric Ten Haag is a very big fan of Scott McTominay but United just felt that

01:35they couldn't really refuse that sort of money for, like we said, a player who is on the

01:39periphery, on the fringe of the United team. And Hannibal Medjberi, he will be leaving

01:43in a permanent deal to join Championship side Burnley. That deal could rise to around

01:49£9 million, maybe £9.5 million. United will also have a significant sell-on clause in

01:56that deal. So they will have a 10% sell-on clause in the McTominay deal and PSG will

02:01have a 10% sell-on clause in the Ugarte deal. So, significant sell-on clause for Hannibal.

02:07That could rise, like we said, to £9 million, £9.5 million. Three midfield transfers before

02:12deadline day. Then one arrival in Ugarte and we will see McTominay and Hannibal both

02:17leave Manchester United. You can follow all the latest Shelter news with us on Manchester
