Manchester United could have a clear pathway to naming Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte as the third signing of INEOS’ inaugural transfer window. PSG have reportedly agreed a deal for Benfica teenager Joao Neves, which will push Ugarte further down Luis Enrique’s pecking order and closer to the exit door.
United are thought to have named the 23-year-old their priority midfield target as Erik ten Hag eyes fresh blood alongside Kobbie Mainoo.
As part of the agreement, Renato Sanches will return to Benfica, where he graduated from the club’s academy in 2014 before completing a £29.5m switch to Bayern Munich two years later.
The report claims that Neves will travel to Paris to undergo a medical this week before officially becoming a PSG player.
