In a bid to strengthen their squad, Manchester United are eyeing a move for Uruguayan midfielder Ugarte. The Red Devils are keen on bringing the 23-year old to Old Trafford, but negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain are proving to be a stumbling block.
According to reports, super agent Jorge Mendes is in talks with United officials to try and secure a deal for Ugarte. The FA Cup champions are hoping that PSG will lower their asking price for the midfielder, or consider a sale to facilitate a move to Manchester. A source close to the club said, “otherwise, they will go for a cheaper option.”
Ugarte is known for his tough-tackling style and ability to break up play, qualities that caught the attention of United scouts during his time at Sporting two seasons ago. However, adapting to the fast-paced nature of the Premier League will be a challenge for the young midfielder. United manager Erik ten Hag will be looking for Ugarte to elevate his game if he wants to succeed in England.
With United targeting Ugarte as a key addition to their squad, fans are eager to see how the Uruguayan will fit into the team. The club is also making moves behind the scenes, with a predicted lineup for the 2024/25 season taking shape.
In the midst of all the transfer speculation, United are also monitoring another target who has refused to discuss a new contract amidst interest from the club. The Red Devils are determined to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season, and fans are eagerly awaiting news on potential new arrivals.
As the negotiations with PSG continue, United fans will be hoping for a positive outcome in their pursuit of Ugarte. The club is determined to secure the services of the talented midfielder, but only time will tell if a deal can be reached before the start of the new season.
