Man Utd close to another signing as Manuel Ugarte agrees to join Erik ten Hag's side from PSG after Red Devils wrap up Leny Yoro deal

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Uruguayan midfielder, who shares the same agent, Jorge Mendes, as Yoro, is eager to join the Red Devils despite the club's inability to offer Champions League football. However, the deal is far from being closed as United and PSG have not yet reached a consensus on the transfer fee.

The Daily Mailreports that PSG are firm in their valuation and have set a price tag of £59 million ($76m)for Ugarte. The midfielder, who joined the Ligue 1 champions from Sporting CP for £42 million ($54m) just last summer, fits the club's strategy of building a younger team without high-profile superstars and they are not keen to sell him at a discounted rate.

United's pursuit of Ugarte faces stiff competition from other top European clubs. Bayern Munich have shown interest and inquiries have been made by two Italian sides as well as by another Premier League club. This heightened interest from multiple clubs strengthens PSG's stance on their valuation which further complicate United's efforts to secure the midfielder's services.

If United are to snap up Ugarte, they must then offload one of their current midfielders. Scott McTominay, who scored 10 goals in all competitions last season, is a potential candidate to leave. Additionally, veteran Brazilian midfielder Casemiro might depart following a challenging second season at Old Trafford.
