Jorge Mendes discusses Manuel Ugarte’s move to Manchester United in England

Manchester United have shown their keenness to snap up Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain. After signing a striker and a couple of defenders, a midfielder will complete Erik ten Hag’s revamp.

Fabrizio Romano claims the Uruguayan’s asking price has been a deterrent, although the move remains as Jorge Mendes arrives in England to discuss his move to Old Trafford possible.

Transfer insiders add that Ugarte has agreed personal terms with the Red Devils but United will continue to play hardball when it comes to his transfer fee.

According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United are “unwilling” to meet PSG’s £51m valuation of the South American player, with Romano adding that another sale could help the Premier League giants sanction the player. Transfers of midfielders.

In addition, Manchester United hopes that the Parisians will agree to reduce his price, and if the Ugarte deal remains difficult to execute, they will consider other options on the market.

Casemiro’s exit could be key to Ugarte’s signing

Casemiro is expected to leave Manchester United for much of the summer. Despite links with Saudi Arabia, the midfielder has yet to leave the club and was recently named in the starting eleven for the FA Community Shield against Manchester City.

Ten Hag hinted after United’s defeat to Manchester City that he was “very happy” with Casemiro and that he could stay at the club despite his poor form in 2023/24.

If the Brazilian does end up staying, United’s move for Ugarte will depend on whether PSG are prepared to lower their asking price and whether other players also leave Old Trafford.

However, if Casemiro can return to the form he enjoyed at Real Madrid because of the faith Ten Hague has placed in him, things could be completely different for the Manchester United midfielder.

Only time will tell what happens in the midfield, but given the number of players they have already signed, there is no reason why United can’t finish in the top four this season.
