Premier League
Manchester United has decided not to proceed with the signing of Manuel Ugarte, the 23-year-old Uruguayan midfielder from PSG, despite their initial interest in strengthening the midfield for the upcoming season. After evaluating the conditions of the deal, the English club has chosen to explore other options in the transfer market.
The transfer market is in full swing, and every move creates a chain reaction in other teams. Recently, PSG announced the addition of Joao Neves, which initially was expected to facilitate Ugarte's departure. However, this transfer has not influenced the Uruguayan's stay in Paris.
Manchester United Moves on from Manuel Ugarte
Ugarte, who had a promising start last season, failed to maintain his level, leading PSG to consider his exit. There were speculations that Manchester United could be his next destination, especially after Neves joined the Parisian team. However, according to information from The Athletic, the English club has decided to withdraw from the negotiation.
The main obstacle for Ugarte's signing has been the price. PSG demands 70 million euros for the midfielder, a sum that Manchester United is not willing to pay. Discussions between the two clubs have been concluded, and the 'Red Devils' are already considering other alternatives to strengthen their squad.
Erik ten Hag, manager of Manchester United, has made it clear that a new central midfielder is a priority. The search for a replacement continues, and it is expected that the British club will identify and pursue other options in the market. This change in direction reflects United's financial prudence and their desire to find a player who offers a balance between quality and cost.
