Man United still chasing Ugarte signature
While Man United paid around £4m to sign Mjebri in 2019, he is still regarded as a homegrown asset and his sale will be banked as ‘pure profit’ as his book value after five years at the club is now the same as an academy player.
Indeed, the funds from the midfielder’s sale to Burnley will help United comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules next year, but Erik ten Hag’s side may not be done with their summer transfer business just yet.
Recent reports suggest that Man United are close to agreeing a deal worth around £50m for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte.
The Uruguay international has been linked with a move to Old Trafford for several weeks and is believed to be on the verge of making the switch to the Premier League after being left out of Les Parisiens’ squad for the first two games of the season.
Ugarte arrived in the French capital at the start of last season from Sporting Lisbon
