Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have reached an agreement for the purchase of Manuel Ugarte for €50 million (£42.3 million) with an additional €10 million. Scott McTominay is anticipated to accept a €30 million transfer to Napoli. Following their early window pursuit of the holding midfielder, United negotiated a cheaper price for Ugarte, with bonuses contingent on success and performance. PSG had demanded a fixed fee of €60 million for the player.
After Leny Yoro, an 18-year-old center defender; Matthijs de Ligt, a 25-year-old; Joshua Zirkzee, a 23-year-old striker; and Noussair Mazraoui, a 26-year-old full-back, the 23-year-old would be Erik ten Hag’s fifth significant sign. All have their prime years ahead of them, according to the club.
Regarded by United as one of the best midfielders in the game, Ugarte was selected for the Copa América team of the summer. The Uruguayan would provide Ten Hag with a second senior holding player in addition to Casemiro.
