Manchester United have been handed a major boost in their pursuit of Manuel Ugarte as he has informed PSG of his desire to move to Old Trafford.
According to Corriere Fiorentino via Sport Witness, Manchester United are keen on signing Manuel Ugarte, and they have a massive advantage in their pursuit as the player is pushing for a move to Old Trafford. He has informed Paris Saint-Germain about his desire to join the Red Devils.
Ugarte joined the Ligue 1 giants last summer after making a name for himself at Sporting CP. While he did start the season in fine fashion, the 23-year-old slowly went down the pecking order, and he was no longer a preferred choice.
Ugarte to leave PSG, Manchester United making moves
The Uruguayan international still has four years left on his deal at PSG. But it seems Luis Enrique no longer counts on him. They have already signed a replacement in Joao Neves, and Ugarte seems set for a move away. While PSG are ready to cash in on him, they have no intention of lowering their demands.
Manchester United are keen on his signature as they look to reinforce their midfielder. While they did consider bringing Sofyan Amrabat back to the club, the Red Devils prefer having Ugarte at their disposal. The 23-year-old has the potential to replace Casemiro and be a long-term partner for their young sensation Kobbie Mainoo.
PSG have no intention of making things easier for United. But the English club have a boost as the player has asked for the transfer. He is pushing for a move to Old Trafford and has informed PSG about his desire. Ugarte has already agreed personal terms with the Red Devils which suggests a transfer could be on the cards in the coming days.
Manchester United make progress in Manuel Ugarte talks
A report from HITC suggests Manchester United are making progress in talks with the Ligue 1 giants for the transfer of Ugarte. PSG are believed to be open to a loan move as long as it has an obligation to buy. Jorge Mendes is confident that his client will be playing in the Premier League when the window is over.
He has been in talks with PSG over a loan deal with a purchase obligation clause, and decent progress has been made so far. While Manchester United are looking to offload players before signing Ugarte, they are willing to make a move for him even if they do not manage to sell anyone before the end of the window.
