Manchester United and Manuel Ugarte have reached an agreement for his transfer to the club, as stated in reports.

United are excited to keep adding players from the French league after signing Leny Yoro. They are now intensifying their efforts to bring in Ugarte.

The midfielder from Uruguay has the same agent as Yoro - Jorge Mendes - and they have agreed on contract details. Ugarte is keen to move, even though United cannot offer Champions League football, according to Fabrizio Romano's report.

But Mail Sport has learned that the two clubs have not come to an agreement yet and PSG is not willing to sell the player for less than £59m.

The 23-year-old transferred to Paris in a £42m agreement from Sporting Lisbon just last summer. PSG has been uncertain about whether they should trade a player who matches their criteria of forming a youthful team without big-name stars.

Reports suggest that Manchester United have come to an agreement with PSG's midfielder Manuel Ugarte.

According to Mail Sport, the two clubs have not reached a deal yet and PSG is not willing to sell the player for anything less than £59 million.

The coach of Manchester United, Erik ten Hag, is eager to continue adding new players to the team during the summer transfer window.

Discussions between the two clubs are ongoing, but are still in the early phases, even though progress has been made on personal agreements between the parties involved.

Another challenge for United and their new INEOS recruitment team might be the rivalry from other European and Premier League clubs who are expressing significant interest.

Bayern Munich have asked about the availability of the up-and-coming talent, and two Italian teams as well as one Premier League club have also reached out to PSG regarding a possible agreement.

United may have to sell another midfielder before they can sign Ugarte and add him to Erik ten Hag's team.

Scott McTominay, who netted 10 goals across all competitions for the team last season, is among the players who may need to depart to accommodate Ugarte's arrival.

Bayern Munich have asked about the availability of the young up-and-coming player, and two teams from Italy as well as one from the Premier League have also reached out.

Scott McTominay and Casemiro may depart from the team in order to open up opportunities for Ugarte.

Experienced midfielder Casemiro from Brazil may also depart after a tough second season at Old Trafford, with United ending up in eighth place in the Premier League.

At the same time, United has been one of the most active teams in the Premier League during the break, signing players Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee.

I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining Manchester United, a prestigious club with high ambitions, at the beginning of my career.

Ever since I started talking with the club, they have outlined a definite strategy for my growth in Manchester as a part of this thrilling project, and they have shown a great deal of concern for me and my family.
