Man United Plans More Signings and Focuses on Ugarte

Manchester United has officially announced the signings of Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui, prompting a strategic meeting among the club's executives to discuss transfer plans for the remainder of the window. The club is currently in negotiations for Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite, with Everton demanding £70 million while United is unwilling to exceed £60 million. As the Premier League season kicks off, United fans are expressing anxiety over potential ticketing issues for their opening match against Fulham at Old Trafford. The game will be the first since the club implemented a new ticketing system that requires tickets to be stored in an official mobile app, rather than a digital wallet. Fans experienced difficulties accessing their tickets during the Community Shield match against Manchester City, raising concerns about long queues at the turnstiles on Friday night. In response to these concerns, an internal briefing was circulated, calling for volunteers to assist with ticketing issues during the match. Additionally, staffing challenges have emerged at United's megastore, which is expected to be busy following the release of the new 2024-25 third shirt. Ensuring smooth operations on match day is crucial for the club. Meanwhile, former United player Appleton is set to return as the club's loan manager, part of a broader reshuffle by Ineos. Young talent Gabriel, nicknamed 'Kid Messi,' continues to impress in the youth ranks, while Bryan Robson is heading to Wrexham, albeit not for a celebrity cameo. United will also need to keep an eye on Alex Iwobi, who aims to score against them for a third consecutive league season.
