Reports say Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants Manchester United to listen to offers for Manuel Ugarte after being unimpressed by his display in the 2-1 loss to Leeds. This is report-based, not an official club confirmation. The latest reporting claims the Leeds performance was a tipping point in a wider INEOS review of underperforming signings. United are said to be preparing a broader summer clear-out and could redirect funds toward midfield targets such as Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton.
