The Red Devils are in the market for a defensive midfielder amid growing concerns over Casemiro and Scott McTominay’s future ahead of the 2024/25 season. Uruguay’s Manuel Ugarte has emerged as a top midfield target for Erik ten Hag this summer.

PSG are reportedly demanding €70m for the South American midfielder, but United are not ready to pay anywhere close to that amount, even though he has four years remaining on his contract.

🚨Manuel Ugarte said YES to Manchester United and also agreed on personal terms.

Instead, United are willing to sign him on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy next summer. The 23-year-old midfielder has reportedly agreed over personal terms with the Red Devils and is extremely excited at the prospect of playing at Old Trafford.
