Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, is making some big changes to his team's midfield. After a summer of searching for new options, the club has finally confirmed the departure of Hannibal Mejbri and the impending arrival of Manuel Ugarte.
The Red Devils have been working hard all summer to revamp their central midfield, and they are now making progress in the final days of the transfer window. Ugarte, a midfielder from Paris Saint-Germain, has agreed to join United after falling out of favor with his current team. This will be ten Hag's fifth signing of the window, following the additions of Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui, and Joshua Zirkzee.
Of course, making such a big move requires financial resources, and United has had to raise funds to make it happen. It is expected that Scott McTominay will depart for Napoli in a deal worth around £25m. Additionally, the club has bid farewell to another midfielder, as 21-year-old Mejbri has completed a permanent transfer to Burnley.
Mejbri joined United in 2019 from Monaco, but only made 13 first-team appearances in his five years at the club. After a disappointing loan spell at Sevilla last season, he returned to United for pre-season, but has now made the move to Burnley, signing a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
In an interview with the Burnley website, Mejbri expressed his excitement about joining the club. He mentioned playing against Burnley at Turf Moor in the past and being impressed by the amazing atmosphere. He also spoke highly of the club's coach, Scott Parker, and the project that they have in place. He hopes to contribute to their success in the future.
Fans can expect to see Mejbri make his debut for Burnley this weekend as they host local rivals Blackburn on Saturday. It's an exciting time for the Clarets, as they have already won two of their first three games under their new boss, Parker.
For Manchester United, it's time to turn their attention back to the pitch and continue their quest for success.
