Manchester United could look to sign Paris Saint Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte on an initial loan deal according to reports.
After resolving Erik ten Hag’s situation, United has stepped up their transfer activity in an attempt to bolster a team that placed a dismal eighth in the previous campaign. Joshua Zirkzee, a striker from the Netherlands, has joined from Bologna.
The Red Devils are reportedly very close to finalizing the signing of Leny Yoro, a teenage center back, and Matthijs de Ligt is rumored to be close to joining Old Trafford. United may try to sign Ugarte as a loan player.
Since Sofyan Amrabat’s loan agreement is unlikely to be extended, United is aiming to try and unload Casemiro this summer and is therefore on the market for midfield reinforcements.
Ugarte has been identified, and the Uruguayan hasn’t arrived back in Paris following his
Copa America victory.
The 23-year-old was close to joining Chelsea last summer before opting to head to the French capital where he had a mixed season making 37 appearances in all competitions.

Ugarte could be leaving PSG after just one season at the club.
GIVEMESPORT have reported that United are “refusing” to rule out the possibility of a loan deal for next season with an option or obligation to buy.
The midfielder is reportedly open to a move to Old Trafford, but United might have to bide their time if PSG are only prepared to sanction a permanent departure.
A loan move would make sense financially as it would be cheaper for United, but GIVEMESPORT add they don’t want to spend more than £45m on the Uruguay international as they look for a long term partner for teenage sensation Kobbie Mainoo.
