Manchester United will accelerate the signing of Manuel Ugarte from PSG in the coming days, while a report claims a sixth Red Devils arrival could come at the expense of Liverpool.
Man Utd have already got four major names through the door this summer. Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs De Ligt, Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee have all signed on the dotted line. However, Man Utd’s business is far from finished.
Erik ten Hag and Dan Ashworth are determined to sign the perfect partner for Kobbie Mainoo in central midfield.
PSG and Uruguay destroyer, Manuel Ugarte, has been installed as United’s primary target. Man Utd have agreed personal terms with Ugarte who is ready to sign a five-year deal with a club option for a sixth season.
However, PSG have thus far shown no willingness to relax their lofty €60m demands. That is the price they paid Sporting CP to sign Ugarte one year ago and PSG hope to break even.
Ugarte’s agent, Jorge Mendes, was in England last week to try and push the move along.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has stated progress will only be made if PSG lower their asking price or Man Utd sell a player. The latter would then allow United to meet PSG’s demands and Scott McTominay, Casemiro and Christian Eriksen are all for sale at the right price.
