Man United are set to step up their pursuit of PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte in the coming days, according to Football Insider.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that Ugarte, 23, remains the top target for United and they are pushing to reach an agreement with PSG as talks advance over a deal.
However, they have so far failed to reach an agreement for any of their top targets in his position and remain locked in negotiations with PSG over Ugarte.
Sources say the French champions are demanding upwards of £50million for the defensive midfielder despite telling him he is free to leave.
The midfielder has been on United’s radar since his impressive spell at Sporting CP and remains highly rated despite a mixed spell in France.
The defensive midfielder played 37 games last season after making the £51million move to PSG in the summer of 2023 – and they are now looking to break even on their investment.
