‘According to my information’: Romano confirms the two signings Man Utd will absolutely, 100% make this summer

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Manchester United will sign at least two midfielders this summer, with Manuel Ugarte poised to follow Casemiro out the door.

The Brazilian will be pulling the curtains on his Red Devils tenure after four years when the end of June rolls around, and Ugarte won’t be far behind.

Indeed, United have decided that they’ve seen enough in the two seasons that the Uruguayan has represented them to know that he’s not dependable enough to keep beyond the summer.

It means they will need to find a buyer for Ugarte, who’s been linked with Ajax and Galatasaray , and decide a suitable fee in order to recuperate some of the £42 million they shelled out for him.

The 24-year-old’s contract runs until 2029, plus the option of an additional year.

As for Casemiro, it goes without saying that a real marquee signing will be necessary to succeed the seasoned veteran.

Even now, with the likes of Ugarte, Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount all vying for places, the five-time Champions League winner has retained his starting spot throughout the duration of the campaign.

The term also marks Casemiro’s career-best for goals thus far , with the defensive-minded stalwart returning a hugely impressive seven goals – as well as two assists – in the Premier League.

Weighing in on INEOS’ plans for the middle of the park, Romano said on YouTube: “The other update I can give you is, according to my information today, Manuel Ugarte could also leave Manchester United in the summer transfer window.

“Some movements have already started to find solutions. So you can imagine, with Casemiro leaving, Ugarte leaving, with Manchester United probably playing Champions League football, for sure playing European football, it means that United need two more midfielders.”
