Confirmed: Man Utd press hard, prepared to agree huge salary now to sign £33.5m player

 Manchester United would have lost points

 against Spurs if Cristiano Ronaldo had 

not scored a fantastic hattrick to give 

the Red Devils the victory. 

Harry Maguire is having the worst season 

of his career, and he helped the north 

Londoners by scoring an own goal last night

. The ineffective captain has to be replaced

, and Ronald Araujo has been linked 

with a move to Manchester United. 

Barcelona have so far been unable to strike

 a deal with the South American central 

defender, who is asking a wage comparable

 to those of Pedri and Fati, according to Sport. 

Man United are willing to agree on a transfer

 fee to sign him in the summer, according

 to the renowned Catalan outlet, and are 

even willing to agree on a hefty fee.
