Man United hold positive talks to sign 23-year-old, could submit offer in the next few hours

Manchester United are hoping to sign the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte this summer.

According to Uruguay Fichajes, the move is now gaining traction and Manchester United have already held positive talks with PSG regarding a move for the 23-year-old defensive midfielder. The Red Devils could now submit an offer in the next few hours.

Ugarte is not a key player for PSG and it makes sense for the Ligue 1 outfit to sanction his departure for the right price. Manchester United are in desperate need of a quality defensive midfielder and the former Sporting CP star should prove to be a quality acquisition.

He is an expert when it comes to shielding the back four and breaking up opposition attacks. His arrival will also allow the creative players to operate with more freedom.

Manuel Ugarte to replace Casemiro?

Casemiro has been quite underwhelming this past season and Manchester United need an upgrade on the Brazilian international. They need to start planning for the future and the 23-year-old South American would be the ideal long-term investment for them.

Ugarte was regarded as one of the finest young midfielders in European football before he moved to PSG. He will look to get back to that level again, and a move to Manchester United would be ideal. A fresh start in the Premier League could help him regain his form and confidence.

He has the physical and technical attributes to succeed in the Premier League and he could establish himself as a key player for Manchester United in the coming seasons. The 23-year-old will be expected to form solid partnership with Kobbie Mainoo at the heart of the Manchester United midfield next season.
