Manchester United appear to be on the verge of securing a deal for 23-year-old Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Esteemed French journalist Santi Aouna has reported that Manchester United’s interest in Ugarte is intensifying, with the club moving steadily towards finalizing the transfer.
### Manuel Ugarte’s Rollercoaster Tenure at PSG
Manuel Ugarte joined Paris Saint-Germain from Sporting CP last summer in a deal valued at €60 million. The Uruguayan international was highly sought after due to his impressive performances at Sporting CP, ultimately leading PSG to secure his services. Ugarte initially made a strong impression at PSG, regularly featuring in the first half of the 2023/24 season. However, his appearances became sporadic as the season progressed, leading to a significant reduction in his playing time. Over the course of the season, Ugarte made 37 appearances across all competitions but struggled to accumulate even 2,500 minutes on the pitch.
Despite these challenges, Ugarte remains a highly regarded player in the transfer market. His fluctuating game time at PSG has not diminished the interest from several prominent European clubs, with Manchester United emerging as a potential next destination.
### Manchester United’s Pursuit of Ugarte
Manchester United’s pursuit of Manuel Ugarte is driven by their need for a robust holding midfielder, especially after Casemiro’s underwhelming performance in the 2023/24 season. Ugarte fits the profile of the player they are looking for, making him an attractive target for the Red Devils this summer.
Recent updates suggest that Ugarte is enthusiastic about the possibility of joining Manchester United. Reports indicate that the midfielder’s move to Old Trafford is becoming increasingly likely.
Paris Saint-Germain, on their end, will probably aim to recoup most of the €60 million they spent on Ugarte. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United are prepared to meet this valuation to secure the services of the Uruguayan midfielder.
As the transfer window progresses, the situation around Ugarte’s potential move to Manchester United will continue to evolve. For now, the Red Devils seem to be closing in on a deal that could significantly bolster their midfield options for the upcoming season.
