According to Daily report, Manchester United’s pursuit of Manuel Ugarte marks another strategic move by Erik ten Hag as he looks to strengthen the squad ahead of the new season ..Read Full Article
The 23-year-old Uruguayan midfielder, known for his tenacity and defensive prowess fits the profile of a player who can add steel and depth to United’s midfield options
Ugarte’s journey to Manchester United comes after a promising yet turbulent period at Paris Saint-Germain. After joining PSG from Sporting for €60 million last year, Ugarte quickly made a name for himself with strong performances in the early part of the season.
However, despite his initial impact he found himself out of favor under new manager Luis Enrique leading to speculation about his future. This situation has opened the door for Manchester United to swoop in, sensing an opportunity to acquire a talented midfielder who might have been undervalued at PSG
For United, securing Ugarte for £51 million (€60 million) could be seen as a prudent investment especially given the rising prices in the current transfer market. Erik ten Hag, who has a clear vision for rebuilding United, reportedly sees Ugarte as a player who can “have a significant influence” at Old Trafford, potentially providing the team with the kind of midfield stability that has been missing in recent seasons
Ugarte’s exclusion from PSG’s Ligue 1 opener against Le Havre further indicates that the transfer is likely nearing completion. If finalized, this move could provide United with a versatile midfielder capable of making an immediate impact in both domestic and European competitions
