Manchester United's 27-year-old Scottish midfielder Scott McTominay is likely to undergo a medical with Napoli on Tuesday, and he has left the Red Devils on a permanent transfer of €30 million to make his debut at the Maradona Stadium as early as Wednesday. The deal will help Ten Hag get new midfielder Ugarte. However, for Morocco's iron-waisted Sofjan · Amrabat, his Manchester United dreams may have been dashed.
According to AS Roma Sport, Manchester United are not planning to pay €15 million to buy Amrabat from Fiorentina, although the price is 10 million euros less than the buyout amount agreed between the two teams last year.
Ten Hag has a keen eye on the 27-year-old Amrabat, who played a key role in United's FA Cup triumph at the end of last season, but the asking price was overpriced.
Now, Amrabat may have to stay at Fiorentina and wait for his contract to expire, with the Morocco international already starting the first two games of Serie A.
Fenerbahce of the Turkish Super League are also interested in Amrabat but they are only willing to pay €8.5 million, with Fiorentina's price tag deniing Mourinho a chance of getting the Morocco iron back.
In the Manchester United squad, the 32-year-old veteran Eriksen has also become a player who cannot be sold. The club has put a price tag of €5 million on the sale, but has not received any offers so far. Christian Eriksen, who has yet to feature this season, has expressed his displeasure with Ten Hag coming off the bench, but the situation has not changed.
Although McTominay is leaving, the arrival of Ugarte will keep Eriksen without playing time. He sat on the bench for 90 minutes in the first two Premier League games and the Community Shield and was not selected.
Manchester United have pitched Ajax to Ajax, but unfortunately the Netherlands club can only go on loan, which is not suitable for Sir Jim · Ratcliffe and INEOS. They want to sell the Denmark veteran and cut his £150,000-a-week salary off their expenses.
Belgium side Anderlecht are also in contention, but according to Italy transfer experts Fabrizio · Romano, United have yet to receive any specific bids. And with only a few days left in the transfer window, it means Eriksen's future hangs in the balance and he may have to stay.
"For Eriksen, it will depend on the offer. There are a lot of rumours, a lot of stories, but as far as I know, Manchester United haven't made any offers yet. They haven't received an official offer from any club yet." Fabrizio Romano said.
On whether Eriksen could leave, Romano replied: "Let's see if there is a team that will make a good offer to Eriksen, and if it is attractive for the player, then the situation could change or he would not be able to leave. At the moment, as far as I know, the situation is still calm, so it will depend on the quotes. There are a lot of rumors, but still no one has bid."
If he stays at Manchester United, Eriksen will be hoping that the injury to team-mate Mason · Mount could open the door for him to play. Mr £60 million retired injured at half-time against Brighton and if he is sidelined and Scott McTominay leaves, Ugarte's arrival will leave the Denmark midfielder with only one chance to compete with Academy youngster Toby · Collier for at least a chance to come off the bench.
