Manchester United are considering Manuel Ugarte to bolster their midfield this summer. The Paris Saint-Germain standout has attracted interest from other clubs including AC Milan and Atlético Madrid.

Ugarte’s agent, Jorge Chijane, told O Jogo that Liverpool are also interested in signing him. Moreover, the 23-year-old’s performance at the 2024 Copa América could be drawing suitors or cause the clubs keen on him to pull the trigger.

Transfer window specialist Fabrizio Romano recently reported that Manchester United and PSG have discussed a potential move for Ugarte. Although several clubs are interested in the midfielder, PSG is willing to sell him this summer, and he’s expected to leave.

Still, the Red Devils face stiff competition from the Uruguayan. Le10Sport reports that three clubs—Manchester United, Manchester City, and FC Barcelona — have already made concrete moves in the Ugarte case.

The report also adds that manager Luis Enrique must decide whether to retain Ugarte at any cost or agree to his departure for a substantial fee. The final call in this matter rests with him.
