It seems like Manchester United has their sights set on acquiring Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, Manuel Ugarte. The club has recently submitted an offer to sign the talented 23-year-old player, who has previously turned down a move to Chelsea in order to join PSG in a £51.1m deal.
However, despite starting off the season as a regular player under Luis Enrique, Ugarte found himself sidelined in the second half of the campaign. This has led to PSG being open to offers for the Uruguay international, and United is eager to add a new midfielder to their roster, especially with Casemiro's potential departure from the club.
According to reports from L'Equipe, United has made an undisclosed offer for Ugarte, but PSG has rejected it. However, the French club has stated that negotiations are still ongoing and they are willing to listen to improved offers for the former Sporting Lisbon star. Ugarte has been with PSG since 2023 and has shown great potential on the field.
As for United, they have yet to make any signings this summer, but central midfield is a priority for them. They recently had a bid of £43m for Jarrod Branthwaite rejected by Everton, but they are expected to make an improved offer in the near future. It is believed that Casemiro, who is currently 32 years old and was not chosen for Brazil's Copa America squad, will be leaving the club after his underwhelming performances last season.
There have been reports of clubs in Saudi Arabia showing interest in signing the Brazilian, who is currently the highest earner at United with a weekly salary of £350,000. It is no surprise that United is looking to offload Casemiro and make room for new talent in their midfield.
As for Manchester United, there have been no updates on their potential signings, but fans are eagerly waiting to see who will join the team.
