Man Utd handed fifth signing ‘sanction’ boost amid ‘new plan’ with Euro giants unfazed by delay

Manuel Ugarte is still desperate to move to Manchester United
According to reports, Manchester United have been handed a boost as they race to sign Uruguay international Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Red Devils have already made four signings this summer as they have spent around £150m to sign Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.
Heading into this transfer window, one of Man Utd’s priorities was to sign a new defensive midfielder and Ugarte has emerged as their top target.
PSG only signed Ugarte last summer but they are open to letting him go and the 23-year-old is keen to sign for Man Utd.
Negotiations have dragged on longer than Man Utd would have wanted and they have considered potential alternatives as PSG previously refused to lower their demands, with their price tag set at around £51m.
Fulham-bound Sander Berge was linked with Man Utd but they remain in talks with PSG over signing Ugarte.
Jacobs said: “PSG are prepared to sanction a loan-with-obligation for Manuel Ugarte to join Manchester United.
“Ugarte has made it clear he wants #MUFC and has already agreed personal terms. Talks positive, but PSG is in no rush and happy to let negotiations run into next week if needed.”
A detailed report from The Athletic has revealed ‘how much more business Man Utd are planning’.
‘United have got the bulk of their work done, addressing key positions up top and at the back, but it could be a busy climax to the window with several players up for sale and the club still wanting to add a midfielder.
‘United still need to be disciplined on spending, having already broken off negotiations for players deemed too expensive, and there is a resolve to avoid any panic as the deadline approaches.
‘Getting funds into the club is the priority at the moment. United want to continue a policy of buying players at the younger end of the spectrum.’
