Manchester United Agrees to Sign Manuel Ugarte

Manchester United is finalizing the transfer of midfielder Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain for an initial fee of £42 million, plus £8.4 million in performance-related add-ons. Ugarte is set to undergo a medical today, following a protracted negotiation process and the recent agreement between the clubs. The signing comes as Scott McTominay prepares to leave for Napoli in a £26 million deal, motivated by his desire for more first-team opportunities. Ugarte's move represents a significant addition to United's midfield, which has struggled in recent performances, especially against teams like Brighton. Ugarte's debut could potentially be in the upcoming match against Liverpool, as he is expected to join his new teammates shortly after the medical. This transfer marks a strategic step for Manchester United in strengthening their squad this summer.
