Manchester United ‘accelerating’ in talks to sign PSG’s Manuel Ugarte | OneFootball

France Info journalist Julien Froment understands that talks between Manchester United and PSG over the transfer of Manuel Ugarte (23) are “accelerating”.

Manchester United’s interest in the Uruguay international has been evident. He has been the priority target as they look to strengthen their options in holding midfield, however, talks with PSG have been difficult. The reigning Ligue 1 champions aren’t opposed to the sale, as evidenced by the purchase of João Neves earlier this month, however, they don’t want to lose out financially on a player that they bought just 12 months ago from Sporting for a €60m fee.

However, whilst reports in England have stated that the Red Devils have been sounding out alternatives, France Info understands that talks with PSG are now “accelerating”. The publication adds that Les Parisiens will not lose out financially in the deal, suggesting that they are confident of recouping the €60m paid last year.
