Manchester United and Hirving Lozano is a story which continues to burn bright in the Mexican media. On Friday there were several claims that a deal to move to Manchester United had been agreed, but at least two Mexican news outlets later deleted their stories, a slightly strange situation.

According to those claims, Lozano’s father-in-law called some relatives in London and asked how to open a bank account there. When questioned why, it’s claimed he said: “it’s because my daughter is going to live there.

Then he was reportedly asked how the negotiations were going and said: “Yeah, it’s all done, there are a few details left and after the Olympics it will be made official.”

The reports continued in the Mexican media and Media Tempo said on Sunday that a deal was nearly done to take Hirving Lozano to Manchester United. Negotiations were advanced the price stated as $20m, about £15m.

Lozano is currently preparing to represent Mexico at the Olympics, as they look to defend their football gold medal. Any announcement is expected to be delayed until after that.
