Reports indicate that Manchester United is interested in acquiring Nuno Mendes, a defender from Paris Saint-Germain. Fabrizio Romano mentioned on GiveMeSport that United aims to enhance their squad by bolstering the left wing-back position with the Portuguese player. Due to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia having difficulties with their form and fitness, Diogo Dalot has frequently played in that position under Ruben Amorim’s management. Additionally, Mendes has been recognized as a player who could enhance United’s performance on that side of the field. The 22-year-old, valued at £46 million, has become an important part of the PSG team since joining from Sporting CP in 2022. Manchester United believes he could be a valuable signing as the January transfer window approaches. However, PSG is reluctant to part with Mendes, who has 18 months remaining on his contract, and they aim to persuade him to remain at the Parc des Princes for the long haul. In other news, United midfielder Manuel Ugarte is reportedly on AC Milan’s transfer list, according to Corriere dello Sport [via OneFootball]. The Uruguayan, who came to United from Paris Saint-Germain over the summer, has been rumored to transfer to Milan, but he cannot move to the Serie A team in January because they are now unable to sign non-EU players this season. Ugarte had been a starter in United’s last five games before missing the 2-0 loss to Newcastle on Monday because of a suspension. He has played an important role in Ruben Amorim’s strategy, and United faced difficulties in the midfield against the Magpies without him and Kobbie Mainoo, as Casemiro and Christian Eriksen had a tough time. Additionally, Liverpool is anticipated to compete with Manchester United for Bournemouth’s left-back, Milos Kerkez, as reported by CaughtOffside. Kerkez has been one of the top defenders in the Premier League this season and has now been connected to a major transfer. The Hungarian player is said to be worth approximately £50 million.
