Manchester United could be expanding its list of alternatives if they cannot land Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte. On Thursday, new information surfaced regarding the Uruguayan.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported this week that PSG are open to loaning Ugarte, but they want a mandatory purchase clause included. Their preference is for a permanent transfer or a loan with an obligation to buy.
Furthermore, Ugarte has already settled on personal terms with Manchester United and is now waiting for the two clubs to wrap up the agreement. Romano also shared that the Uruguayan is expected to leave the French giants.
The latest information from Sports Zone reveals that Sofyan Amrabat could be an alternative for the Red Devils if they fail to secure Ugarte this summer. Moreover, the reports share that Amrabat continues to give his preference to Manchester United despite the interest from Fenerbahçe.
