What happened. Manchester United are ready to trigger Jorge Salinas' release clause, but face competition from Atletico Madrid, who are waiting on a deal for Matteo Ruggeri to go through.

• Salinas made his first-team debut in 2024.
• Barcelona have no intention of paying the release clause.
• Aston Villa agreed a £20m deal for Ruggeri with Atletico.

United may need to act quickly as Atletico could move once Ruggeri's transfer completes.
