The time when Manuel Ugarte emerged as a new darling of the
Parc des Princes seems so far away… It was only a year ago. Having just arrived in the capital, the Uruguayan defensive midfielder amazed the fans with his grit and his ability to recover a multitude of balls during his first appearances.
The following months were much more difficult for the Uruguayan international, who was brought back into line and downgraded in the squad hierarchy by his coach Luis Enrique, to the point that a departure seemed the only option for the player.
Ugarte to Manchester United? PSG holds the cards
Manuel Ugarte still has a good rating on the transfer market. Since the opening of the transfer window, one club has been pressing for the midfielder: Manchester United. But the British team does not want to attract the player at any price.
” Jorge Mendes is in England to discuss Joao Felix with Chelsea… and Manuel Ugarte with Manchester United” , explained Fabrizio Romano. “ Ugarte agreed with United weeks ago, PSG still see him leaving. Manchester United need a price drop… or another sale, otherwise they will look for a cheaper option“, concluded the Italian journalist. It remains to be seen whether PSG will be willing to let its player leave for compensation of less than 60 million euros.
