United have now decided against signing 'world-class' star before deadline - report

Manchester United are aiming to sign a defensive midfielder before the transfer deadline.

Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte is the priority target for the Red Devils and a deal could be close with Scott McTominay expected to join Napoli in the coming days.

United have agreed a package worth £25 million for the sale of McTominay. His departure should provide the club with the extra funds required to land Ugarte from Les Parisiens.
