Ten Hag has been busy bringing in new talent for Manchester United, with the latest additions being Manuel Ugarte and Leny Yoro. After securing the signing of Joshua Zirkzee earlier this week, the club wasted no time in finalizing a deal for 18-year-old Yoro, who has reportedly signed a five-year contract with the team.
The Red Devils have certainly not been afraid to spend big in order to secure some of the most promising young players in Europe. Yoro's transfer alone is said to have cost an initial fee of £52 million. With their new football structure in place, United is determined to continue strengthening their squad, with PSG midfielder Ugarte as their next target.
According to Sky Sports Germany, United is now intensifying their pursuit of the talented Uruguayan, who turned down a move to Chelsea last summer. Ugarte is high on the club's list of targets and is eager to make the switch to Manchester this season. Talks have been ongoing since June, when United first made their inquiries.
Ugarte joined PSG from Sporting Lisbon for £51 million last summer, but recent reports suggest that the Ligue 1 champions may be open to selling him for a fee of £38 million. United is also considering a loan deal for the midfielder. However, PSG has their sights set on Benfica's Joao Neves, who is also being pursued by United. It is believed that Neves prefers a move to Paris, with a deal worth €70 million close to being agreed upon.
As United continues to build their squad, they are also looking to add another center-half alongside Yoro. Talks have been held with Bayern Munich over Matthijs de Ligt, while Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite remains a target as well. However, the club may need to offload some players first in order to continue spending this summer. Marseille is set to pay £25 million for Mason Greenwood, while Fulham and West Ham United are interested in signing Scott McTominay and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, respectively.
There has also been interest in midfielder Casemiro from Saudi Arabia, but no formal offers have been made yet.
