Man Utd are now expected to sign the “excellent” 23 y/o for around £51m

Manchester United are now expected to complete the signing of a “good” player, with the man in question “waiting” to leave his current club.

Man Utd are looking forward to summer signings

It has been an impressive summer transfer window at Old Trafford, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe well aware that key additions were needed at the end of last season, despite the campaign ending with the Red Devils winning the FA Cup after defeating Manchester City in the final. .

Joshua Zirkzee has come in as an exciting attacking player, having scored the winner on his debut against Fulham last week, while Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt are eye-catching defenders. There is still time for United to bring in further reinforcements, with the midfield area in need of improvement.

Young Malian ace Sekou Kone has been strongly linked with a move to the Red Devils, and while he won't be an immediate starter for Erik ten Hag, he could blossom into a long-term replacement for the aging Casemiro.

While Yoro and De Ligt have arrived to make United stronger at the back, they have also been linked with a summer move for Barcelona defender Andreas Christensen. The Dane knows the Premier League well from his time at Chelsea, and would be another smart addition.

Man Utd are waiting to sign the “magnificent” ace

According to reporter Fabrice Hawkins on X [via Sport Witness]and another update from L'EquipeManchester United are expected to sign Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, which will boost Ratcliffe.

Hawkins says the 23-year-old “must go” to Old Trafford, having been left out of the Ligue 1 clash with Montpellier on Friday evening, and is now “waiting” to move on. There is “no more doubt” over his future, as his agent Jorge Mendes looks to get a deal over the line.

It is said that while the clubs intend to shake hands on a deal in the coming days, the underpinnings of the deal include a loan obligation to buy for €60m (£51m). While PSG are thought to be willing to do an outright deal for that price, United appear reluctant to bid that high just yet.

Now it would be a real surprise if Ugarte wasn't traded from PSG for United this summer, given how long they've been after him, not to mention he's deemed surplus to requirements by Luis Enrique.

The Uruguay international is exactly what Ten Hag is complaining about at the bottom of his pitch, coming in as a much smaller option than Casemiro, who can provide more strength and durability, which will give the defense more to defend in the process.

Ugarte is an impressive footballer, averaging 4.2 per game in Uruguay's six games at the Copa America earlier this summer, and PSG manager Enrique has praised him as “good, with the ball and without” in the past, having rated him clearly before . it was clear that he wanted to continue.

Casemiro can still do the job at United, but Ugarte needs to step in and be considered as a key man from the outside, having been used more as a forward.
