Manchester United are poised to make a significant move in the transfer market, targeting Paris Saint-Germain's midfielder Manuel Ugarte.
According to French outlet Le10 Sport and Uruguayan source Fichajes, the Red Devils are keen to sign the Uruguayan star, who has struggled to adapt to Ligue 1 since joining PSG last summer.
Ugarte was previously coveted by Liverpool and Chelsea, and Manchester City have also been monitoring his situation, seeking a defensive-minded midfielder to partner Rodri. However, United appear to be leading the race for his signature, which would be a significant coup, especially given their rivalry with City.
The move would align with United's plans to strengthen their midfield, with a focus on long-term partnerships, including pairing Ugarte with Kobbie Mainoo.
With new transfer guru Dan Ashworth at the helm, United are working on multiple deals, including a forward and center-back, making this summer a crucial one for the 20-time English champions.
