The latest on Manuel Ugarte's imminent move to Manchester United ⌚

you're still waiting it's just one of those things I think I don't think there's anything unto Ward I'm told that everything is on track for both Manuel LTE to join Manchester United from PSG and Scott Momin to go from Manchester United to Napoli just a reminder of the deal 50 million euro initial payment 10 million euro in performance related add-ons unfortunately for United because there has been a little bit of a delay in the past couple of days they were hopeful at one stage of trying to get it done and registered by midday today so he'd be available for the Liverpool game on Sunday and a lot of United fans were getting excited about that particularly because Mason Mount has suffered that injury but that deadline's gone and he won't be available for Manchester United on Sunday against Liverpool but I'm told it is all on track and Manuel lat it's a question of when not if he'll become a Manchester United player as is the case with Scott Momin when and not if he'll become a Napoli player 25 million pounds Napoli will pay an initial payment plus5 million in performance related add-ons okay again is it just one of those things that Momin hasn't been done yet I mean he only arrived in Naples yesterday too hash scenes Mike yeah I mean it was fantastic all those fans but who' gathered to to greet Scott Momin and that was delayed initially as well because we thought he was going to fly on Wednesday so if you think about it I think it's no surprise that the mctom deal will probably get done at some point today and I think it'll probably be done in tandem because remember we were kind of intimating Ideal scenario would be Manchester United would sell a player to create Squad space and budgets in order to be able to fund a mu so yeah those are those pictures I was just talking about Momin probably couldn't believe what he was seeing when he arrived there but brilliant you're just on that Andy like what what will he be getting from the Napoli fans like they're passionate aren't they yeah they are I mean I remember Ezekiel ly when he was at PSG um being asked uh did he miss anything about Napoli and he said well I didn't miss the fact that when I go shopping in Paris I just want to go shopping I go shopping when I wanted to go shopping in Naples they'd put me in the boot of a car I get driven to a closed shop taken round the back do my shopping and then go out of the shop back into the boot of the car and go home so it's intense you know there's no doubt about that and of course he's with Antonio con who is famously quite intense as well so you know I think because he's so bustling I think people will really really take to him but I think it's a good deal for Manchester United as well and you look at some of the outgoings um they've really extracted some good value if you look at Players like him uh even Mason Greenwood of course fundo palestri they've retained some interest in them going forward so if they do well they continue to make money out of them would you say they've had a good window then yeah I would I mean obviously time will tell um in terms of what they can actually produce on the on the pitch but they're doing a lot of things right I think um they they've got a lot of good value out there and they've mainly gone and got the players who are not it's a break from United in the past because they've not gone out there I think and got the sexiest players but they've got players who they actually need and who will do them good I I think the is a good example of that ugat is going to be a good example of that zir they could have gone out there and bought a high futing Center forward but they bought a a more versatile sort of forward who can develop and is developing I'm I'm not expecting him to score like 20 Premier League goals this season this SE this season or or maybe ever but you know he can play a number of different roles in the front line and there's not really another forward in Europe you can compare to him so with the right coaching United can gradually get themselves back to the right place but as we've seen in the first couple of games it's going to take time and maybe even it's going to take a different coach [Music] [Music] [Applause]
