Manchester United have reached the final stage of negotiation as player is now heading to Manchester today to complete Medical, jersey number confirmed – announcement today as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano.

Manchester United is on the brink of securing their fifth signing in the summer transfer window, targeting Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the deal is nearing its final stages and could result in a permanent transfer. This move comes after United agreed to sell Scott McTominay to Napoli for £25 million.

Ugarte, 23, has already agreed on personal terms with Manchester United and is eager to make the move. Romano has noted that Ugarte is “solely focused on joining United” and is “ready to transfer” once the agreement is finalized. The Uruguayan midfielder would be a valuable addition, offering a versatile skill set that could see him regularly playing alongside Kobbie Mainoo.

With Casemiro’s inconsistent form over the last year, Ugarte’s arrival would provide a reliable option in the defensive midfield role. While Ugarte shares Casemiro’s strengths in tackling and winning duels, he also stands out for his ability to maintain possession and drive play forward, potentially offering more consistency.

United’s pursuit of Ugarte highlights their determination to bolster their midfield, an area where they have lagged behind top competitors. Securing Ugarte would not only address this gap but also offer a long-term partnership with Mainoo, significantly improving the team’s midfield stability.

As the transfer draws closer to completion, Manchester United supporters are eagerly anticipating the impact Ugarte could have. With his age, skill set, and strong desire to join, Ugarte has the potential to become a key player for United, contributing substantially to their midfield for years to come.
