Manchester United have to improve on all fronts heading into the new season and they have done well so far in the transfer market.
Ten Hag needed quality and depth in the strike-force after the departure of Martial and he has landed Zirkzee to support Hojlund up front.
On the other hand, after dismal defensive displays last term, Man Utd have secured the signing of French defender, Leny Yoro, in a deal worth 70 million euros.
Now, the focus has turned to the center of the park and the priority is to land a defensive midfielder to partner Kobbie Mainoo.
As per Fabrizio Romano, Man United have agreed on personal terms of a contract with Manuel Ugarte.
The former CA Fenix player and Leny Yoro have the same agent, Jorge Mendes. So, completing the signing of the Lille starlet could help Man Utd in their pursuit of the Uruguayan.
To further facilitate matters, even Ugarte is willing to secure a move to Old Trafford, as per Romano. PSG and United are in talks over the transfer of the holding midfield star, who is also on the radar of other clubs.
Reports in Portugal (Record) have indicated that the French champions want to recoup the fee of around £50million they paid to sign the midfielder from Sporting CP last year.
Man Utd even made an offer for Ugarte last summer but Paris Saint-Germain were able to win the race to hire his services.
Last season, the 23-year-old South American started 21 games in the Ligue 1 under Spanish boss, Luis Enrique, who mainly preferred Vitinha in the No.6 position.
In your view, should Man Utd pay £50million to finally sign Manuel Ugarte?
