Manchester United are ramping up their efforts to sign Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte before the transfer window closes. Following a Premier League victory over Fulham, secured by a goal from new arrival Joshua Zirkzee, United is keen to bolster Erik ten Hag’s squad.
The club has been targeting Ugarte, a highly-regarded 23-year-old Uruguayan, who has expressed his desire to join United since July. Despite his interest, negotiations have been difficult due to PSG’s demands. To navigate this, United has proposed a loan-to-buy arrangement, allowing them to secure Ugarte without committing to a full transfer upfront.
Ugarte’s defensive skills are seen as a potential game-changer for United, and he could challenge Casemiro for a starting role if ten Hag implements a double pivot system.
With important fixtures against Brighton and Liverpool approaching, United is under pressure to complete the deal swiftly. The club’s hierarchy is keen to finalize the transfer, believing Ugarte’s addition will significantly enhance their Premier League campaign.
As the transfer deadline looms, Manchester United’s ability to secure Ugarte remains a focal point for fans and observers alike.
