Manchester United is ramping up their efforts to secure Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte before the transfer window closes. After starting their 2024/25 Premier League campaign with a victory against Fulham, thanks to a goal from new signing Joshua Zirkzee, United is keen to bolster Erik ten Hag’s squad further.
The club has been targeting Ugarte, a highly-regarded 23-year-old Uruguayan, who has expressed his interest in joining the Red Devils since July. However, negotiations have been complicated due to PSG’s demands. To navigate these challenges, United has proposed a loan-to-buy deal, a strategic approach that allows them to bring in the midfielder without committing to an immediate full transfer.
Ugarte is known for his strong defensive abilities, and United sees him as a potential game-changer in their midfield. If the deal goes through, Ugarte could challenge Casemiro for a starting role, especially if ten Hag implements a system that requires a double pivot in midfield.
