Man United have made an ‘initial approach’ to PSG over potentially signing Manuel Ugarte in the summer transfer window – but they have already been turn down by the French Champions.
The Red Devils are in need of midfield reinforcements following the departure of Sofyan Amrabat after his loan from Fiorentina expired.
With Casemiro and Christian Eriksen both aged 32 and well past their physical peak, Man United need to freshen up in the middle of the park ahead of next season.
The club evidently see Ugarte as the ideal midfielder to come in and strengthen that area of the pitch as Erik ten Hag makes plans to bounce back from last season’s disappointing eighth-placed finish in the Premier League
The Uruguay international is one of several names on Manchester United’s list of transfer targets, but are yet to make a formal bid, according to Sky Sports.
However, journalist Ben Jacobs claims that PSG have already rejected an offer from Man United as it didn’t meet their valuation of the player.
Sky report that discussions over the next steps of their transfer strategy are continuing internally at Old Trafford, with their ‘main priorities’ said to be a new striker and central defender.
