Man Utd is getting closer to signing their target player for £51m after receiving a significant hint.

Manuel Ugarte has expressed his interest in joining Manchester United, and it seems like the team's hopes of signing him have received a major boost. The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder has been on United's radar since the start of the transfer window, as he was identified as the perfect replacement for Casemiro.

While there have been some offers from Saudi Arabia for Casemiro, they have not yet materialized. United still needs to strengthen their midfield after the departure of Sofyan Amrabat. Ugarte has made it clear that he wants to make the move to Old Trafford, especially after a difficult first season in the French capital.

However, PSG's asking price of £51m for the midfielder has caused United to cool their interest. This is due to the club's new co-owners wanting to show that they will not be controlled like the previous regime had been for the past decade. It is worth noting that Ugarte joined PSG in 2023.

PSG has stated that they will not entertain any offers below their asking price, but with around £110m to spend this summer, the French club needs to balance their books. The deal for Ugarte seems to be heading towards the final moments, with PSG leaving him out of the squad for their first match against Le Havre.

United, on the other hand, still believe that a deal can be made for Ugarte, but it may depend on them selling a first-team player. Napoli has shown interest in Scott McTominay, but United is looking for a fee of around £30m for the Scotland midfielder. Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag has expressed his desire to keep the 27-year-old at the club.

Another player who could potentially be leaving United is Victor Lindelof, who is attracting interest from Fiorentina. This could see the Swede reuniting with fellow teammate David De Gea. On the other hand, PSG and Chelsea are both eyeing Jadon Sancho, but United is looking for a fee of around £50m for the talented winger.

In other news, former Manchester United player Peter Schmeichel believes that Luke Shaw should prioritize his club over his country. With the transfer window still open, it remains to be seen how things will unfold for United and their pursuit of Ugarte.
