Ugarte transfer in final stages
Report suggests imminent completion
Set to boost Man Utd midfield
WHAT HAPPENED?
An update credited to major Uruguayan newspaper El Pais, via Sport Witness, suggests it is only a matter of "hours" before Ugarte completes his transfer to Manchester United. Seemingly "everything is on track" for the midfielder to move to Old Trafford from PSG, with only "minor details" that are not expected to pose any late problems left to be ironed out.
Per FBREF, Ugarte led Ligue 1 in total tackles (98) last season, winning 57 of them. That's despite only making 25 appearances in the competition during the campaign. His passing accuracy across those games also came in at just over 91%.

WHAT NEXT?
Ugarte looks as though he will be the final new arrival at Old Trafford this summer, with only four days of the transfer window remaining. Scott McTominay could yet leave, with a reported fee agreed with Napoli for the Scotland interational.
