In response to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United have agreed private phrases with Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte forward of a possible switch.
Man United have already made two signings in Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro this summer season and they’re now engaged on a deal to land Ugarte from PSG.
As per Romano, Manchester United have ‘agreed private phrases’ with the South American midfielder and talks are presently ongoing between the golf equipment to barter on the charge.
A separate replace from L’Equipe (by way of SportWitness) declare that PSG don’t wish to promote Ugarte for a loss, having bought him from Sporting for £50 million.

High quality
United had a median 2023/24 season within the Premier League the place they completed eighth within the desk. They managed to salvage their season with FA Cup glory. Regardless of this, the hierarchy shall be conscious that the squad wants enchancment with a view to compete on the prime as soon as extra.
They’ve already bolstered the centre-forward and central defensive departments and the following precedence might be the holding midfield place. Casemiro, Scott McTominay and Sofyan Amrabat (on mortgage) had been the choices final season, however none of them had been constant sufficient.
Ugarte can be an improve on them. He’s robust with the ball at his ft and has an distinctive work price when out of possession. Like Casemiro, he doesn’t shrink back from lunging into tackles and has a greater success price. At 23, he has the room to adapt and develop at United.
United appear unlikely to pay £59m for the Uruguayan after the large spend on Zirkzee and Yoro. A mortgage deal seems excellent as they will assess whether or not Ugarte may be profitable within the Premier League. PSG, however, might want an compulsory purchase clause as they’re about to signal his substitute in Joao Neves from Benfica.
