The INEOS led revolution at Manchester United is set to continue. After signing Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro, the club is close to signing their third player of the season. According to reports that emerged overnight, Manuel Ugarte has agreed personal terms with Manchester United. 

Fabrizio Romano broke the news last night that the Uruguayan player has agreed to join  Manchester United. The only thing that is left to do is agree the price with Paris Saint Germain. The French club as per reports are close to signing Joao Neves from Benfica ahead of the new season. 

The Red Devils though will have to sell one of their midfield player. Scott McTominay has got bids from Fulham so far and there are few more other clubs looking to sign the Scottish star. There were reports that Casemiro could leave but the suitors from Saudi Arabia have cooled their interests.
