Paris Saint-Germain defensive midfielder Manuel Ugarte is keen on making a move to Manchester United this summer.
According to a report from Traspasos, Manuel Ugarte’s future at PSG is uncertain, there are high chances of him parting ways with the French club ahead of next season. Manchester United are one of the clubs linked with the Uruguayan international and those around him consider Old Trafford to be an ideal destination for him.
Ugarte made a name for himself at Sporting CP before making the move to the Ligue 1 giants last summer. The defensive midfielder was involved in 37 matches in his debut campaign and even contributed towards three goals.
PSG ready to sell Ugarte?
He did get significant minutes last season but the 23-year-old was not involved in the majority of their important fixtures. While his contract at PSG runs until the summer of 2028, there is uncertainty around his future.
He is not really a part of Luis Enrique’s plans moving ahead. As a result, the French club are ready to listen to offers for him. The report suggests that there is a high possibility of him leaving the club in the summer with him not being a priority for the Spanish boss.
Manchester United have been linked with the defensive midfielder in recent weeks. The Red Devils are looking to reinforce their midfield before the start of next season. Casemiro didn’t really have the best of seasons last time out.
He struggled for consistency and with him not getting any younger, United want someone who can cover for him as well as compete with him for a place in the XI. Ugarte could be a great fit for the Manchester-based club and he could form a dependable partnership with Kobbie Maino in the long run.
Ugarte’s representatives consider Old Trafford to be the perfect destination for him. The player is interested in making a move to the Premier League and he would love to play for Manchester United. The club are looking to revive themselves under Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s leadership and it might just be the right time to join the Red Devils.
