Manchester United nearing €60m agreement to sign Manuel Ugarte | OneFootball

Manchester United are on the verge of signing Manuel Ugarte (23) from Paris Saint-Germain, according to Le Parisien, with the two clubs nearing an agreement on a fee of around €60m, meaning that Les Parisiens won’t miss out financially on a player they bought just one year ago.

Ugarte joined PSG from Sporting last year in a €60m deal. Whilst the Uruguay international began the campaign well, he gradually lost his place in Luis Enrique’s side, playing a peripheral role by the end of the season. It is thought that Ugarte’s weaknesses in possession made him a suboptimal fit in Luis Enrique’s system, with Sports Zone reporting that his transfer was one sanctioned before the Spaniard’s arrival on the touchline.

Just one year later, and after a long summer of tough negotiations, Ugarte looks set to depart. An agreement with Manchester United on a fee around €60m is close, as per Le Parisien, with only final details to be resolved. All parties are confident of the deal being concluded in the coming days.
