Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing 23-year-old Uruguayan international Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on HITC, Manuel Ugarte is confident of joining Manchester United, even though the Red Devils are yet to secure an agreement to sign the 23-year-old from Manchester United.
Ugarte has not been able to establish himself as a key player for PSG since joining the club, and he wants to leave them this summer. He is looking for a fresh start, and a move to the Premier League would be ideal. Manchester United could provide him with the platform to showcase his qualities at a high level consistently.
Casemiro was quite underwhelming last season, and Manchester United need to add more quality and depth to their midfield. They need a quality defensive midfielder, and the Uruguayan international would be the ideal investment for them as they eye a move.
The 23-year-old is likely to improve with coaching and experience, and he could develop into a key player for the club. It will be interesting to see if PSG are willing to sanction his departure for a reasonable price this summer. He is not a key part of their plans. So, it is unlikely that any club would want to pay a premium for him.
Manuel Ugarte will fancy Man United move
A move to the Premier League can be quite exciting for most players, and the South American midfielder will be attracted to the idea of playing for Manchester United as well. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Manchester United will be hoping to fight for major trophies this season, and they need quality players at their disposal. The 23-year-old midfielder has the quality to develop into a key player in the Premier League, and he could improve Manchester United immensely. He will help protect the central defenders and break down opposition attacking moves.
The South American midfielder has the physicality and technical attributes to thrive in England, and he is only going to get better with coaching and experience. Manchester United certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal done and they should look to wrap up an agreement soon.
