 United will travel to Moldova to face Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League on Thursday and are scheduled to play Leeds at Old Trafford in a week's time in their final game before the international break.

There were concerns that next weekend's round of Premier League games might be cancelled due to a lack of policing resources for matches ahead of the late Queen's funeral on Monday, September 19, but a statement issued by the Metropolitan Police on Saturday eased that concern.

Santiago Arias has 'bags packed' for United move

According to journalist

, the Colombian right-back Santiago Arias has his 'bags packed' in anticipation of a move to United.

The 30-year-old is currently without a club after leaving Atletico Madrid at the end of last season.

Arias made 14 appearances on loan at Granada in the 2021/22 campaign. Ten Hag is currently on the lookout for a right-back as he looks to strengthen his options in that position.

Nevertheless he has made a prediction on United for the future. He told The Times:

I think they are searching for that again and want to get back to that. But they are still one of the biggest clubs in the world and they will eventually get back to where they want to be and the standards they set and the force they want to be. But, like anything, that takes time to do.

There has been a lot of change in the past seven, eight years at the club. There have been a lot of ups and downs. I think, as a football fan, you want to see them back competing where they should be

The report reads: “Talks between the club and his agents were running smoothly and it was made clear what it would cost to sign him, in terms of transfer price and salary demand and bonuses, before the international games in June.”

“But the final step was not taken by those higher up at Manchester United, partly due to doubts about his price tag.”
