Breaking: PSG’s Manuel Ugarte Update Hands Manchester United a Lifeline
Published 11:27, 16 August 2024 GMT+1
Manchester United have been given a significant boost in their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte, with the midfielder set to miss PSG’s opening Ligue 1 fixture. According to Fabrizio Romano, Ugarte is OUT of the squad for the game, and the Uruguayan international has made it clear he wants to join Manchester United as soon as possible.
The Deal’s in Jeopardy, But United Won’t Give Up
Ugarte’s exclusion from the squad has raised fresh hopes for Manchester United, who have been trying to sign the defensive midfielder all summer. The two clubs are reportedly still apart in their valuations of the player, but United won’t give up on the deal just yet.
Romano’s Update Sets the Scene
Romano’s tweet suggests that the deal is still very much on, but it will depend on the conditions wanted by PSG. "Manuel Ugarte, OUT of PSG squad for their opening Ligue1 game. He wants to join Manchester United, deal never been off. Absolutely on. But it will depend on conditions wanted by PSG. Ugarte has been clear: he wants #MUFC as soon as possible."
United Won’t Let This Slip Away
Manchester United have been working hard to strengthen their squad this summer, and the signing of Ugarte would be a significant coup. Erik ten Hag wants a top-quality defensive midfielder to complete his team, and Ugarte fits the bill.
The Bigger Picture: Sancho’s Future
Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho’s future remains uncertain. Despite making amends with Ten Hag and returning to the first-team setup at United, Sancho is believed to be open to leaving Old Trafford permanently. PSG had registered their interest in the winger, but it seems that deal has now collapsed. Chelsea are now emerging as a potential destination for Sancho, who could command a fee of around £51m.
