MEDICAL SCHEDULE: Manchester United have reached the final stage to sign £60m superstar, Jersey number approved, paperwork finally done – player presentation wil be done this afternoon

Manchester United’s summer transfer window has been marked by significant spending, with the signings of Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee. However, it appears that the Red Devils are now turning their attention to more affordable options, with Adrien Rabiot emerging as a potential target. The French midfielder, who is currently a free agent after leaving Juventus, has been linked with a move to Old Trafford despite interest from several other European clubs.

According to reports, Manchester United are closing in on a deal for Rabiot, but there is still work to be done before the transfer is complete. The 29-year-old is said to be seeking a contract worth €15m per annum, which would be a significant investment for the club. However, Rabiot’s agents are still in contact with other top clubs, including Barcelona, Real Madrid, Tottenham, Arsenal, and Liverpool, highlighting the competition for his signature.

Rabiot is not the only midfielder on Erik ten Hag’s radar, with Manchester United also reportedly close to signing Manuel Ugarte from PSG. While Ugarte is widely regarded as an exciting addition to the squad, Rabiot’s potential signing has been met with a more mixed reaction. The French midfielder has consistently performed well throughout his career, but has also been criticized for his limited technical ability.

Despite this, Rabiot’s work rate and versatility make him a valuable asset to any team. He is capable of occupying a number of different positions on the pitch, making him a useful addition to Manchester United’s squad. If the Red Devils can secure his signature on a free transfer, it would be a significant coup for the club. However, only time will tell if they can beat off the competition and bring Rabiot to Old Trafford.
