Manchester United have been heavily linked with Manuel Ugarte and reports have even indicated that the Uruguayan is close to moving to Old Trafford.

Transfer: Man Utd table contract after agreeing £54.6m deal for signing – Journalist
Last summer, the Ligue 1 giants paid £50.4m to lure the player from Sporting CP and now want the same fee from his sale.
The famous Portuguese media outlet claim PSG want to use the funds from Ugarte’s sale to sign his replacement in the form of Joao Neves.
Paris Saint-Germain are preparing to submit an offer of around 75 million euros to secure the defensive midfielder from Benfica.
However, as per Record, the Eagles would only allow their prized asset to leave the Estadio da Luz if his release clause of 120 million euros is activated.
As per today’s version of O Jogo, Neves wants to move to the Parisian club.
Having already secured a striker, Man Utd must now focus on strengthening the midfield and the backline in the summer transfer window.
As far as the No.6 position is concerned, Sofyan Amrabat returned to Italy after his loan spell expired last month.
On the other hand, Casemiro had the worst campaign of his career last term and the veteran Brazilian must be replaced sooner rather than later.
Ugarte proved his worth in Portugal with the Lions before joining PSG last summer. He was one of the star players at the Copa America as Uruguay won the Bronze medal.
In your opinion, should Man Utd agree a fee of £50.4m to sign Manuel Ugarte?
