Manchester United is eager to have PSG's midfielder Manuel Ugarte join their team. This news comes as a major boost for United as they have reached an agreement with Napoli for the sale of Scott McTominay. The fee for this deal is approximately €30 million, but United still needs to sort out the details with McTominay, who has one year left on his current contract.
Since McTominay is a homegrown player, United stands to make a profit from his sale. This is important for them as they need to comply with PSR regulations before they can continue their recruitment drive. With only five days left in the summer transfer window, United's manager Erik ten Hag is still on the lookout for players to strengthen their squad, and central midfield is a top priority.
Ugarte has been identified as a key target for United, and they are looking forward to signing the tough and skilled Uruguayan once McTominay's departure is confirmed. Speaking of McTominay, it seems like his time with United has come to an end. Napoli's sporting director Giovanni Manna has been in England this week to finalize an ambitious triple Premier League raid, which also includes deals for Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku and Brighton's Billy Gilmour.
Despite having his most productive season with United last year, scoring 10 goals, McTominay was close to leaving the club due to interest from West Ham. Even though he has played in all three games this season, the 27-year-old has been deemed surplus to requirements and is likely to have played his last game for United in their defeat against Brighton on Saturday.
Ten Hag has already been given the green light to make significant investments in the squad this summer, with the signings of Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui, and Joshua Zirkzee already being approved by United's new backroom team.
