Manchester United delivered a strong performance against Fulham, with standout displays from Casemiro and young talent Kobbie Mainoo. However, despite their efforts, it’s clear that Erik ten Hag’s squad is still in need of another defensive midfielder.
One player who has been on United’s radar for some time is Manuel Ugarte. The Uruguayan midfielder, currently at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), has found himself out of favor under manager Luis Enrique. Ugarte’s lack of playing time has made him eager to leave the Parc des Princes this summer.
According to Football Insider, Ugarte is close to securing a move to Manchester United, with the club actively working to advance negotiations with PSG. If the deal goes through, Ugarte would become the Red Devils’ fifth signing of the summer transfer window.
The 23-year-old midfielder is reportedly very eager to join Manchester United. Reliable Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has noted that Ugarte is keen to make the move to Old Trafford, waiting patiently for the two clubs to finalize the agreement.
PSG values Ugarte at approximately £45 million, and Manchester United, who have already spent significantly this transfer window, must be mindful of the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Regulations (PSR) as they pursue this deal.
Although Casemiro has shown that he might still have another good season left at the highest level, signing Ugarte now would provide the young Uruguayan an invaluable opportunity to learn from the experienced Brazilian. This move could ensure a smooth transition in the defensive midfield role for United in the coming years.
The next few days are likely to be critical in Manchester United’s pursuit of Ugarte. Fans across the globe are hopeful that the deal will be completed, allowing the 23-year-old to make the switch to Old Trafford and continue his career in the Premier League. All eyes are on PSG to see if they will agree to let Ugarte join the Red Devils this summer.
