Manchester United set to seal Manuel Ugarte transfer: Final details awaited

Manchester United are on the brink of securing the signature of Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain, following a key update from Uruguay that suggests the move is just hours away from completion.

According to a report from the Uruguayan newspaper El Pais , via Sport Witness, it’s only a matter of "hours" before Ugarte's transfer to Manchester United is finalized.

The clubs are reportedly ironing out "minor details" that are not expected to cause any delays.

This marks a significant development after a month of negotiations, where initial differences over the transfer fee seemed to stall progress.

Ugarte's move to Old Trafford nearly done

Ugarte, who led Ligue 1 in total tackles last season with 98, despite playing just 25 matches, is expected to be the final addition to Erik ten Hag's squad before the transfer window closes. His impressive passing accuracy of over 91% highlights his potential value to United's midfield.

United manager Erik ten Hag remained tight-lipped about ongoing transfer business following their recent defeat at Brighton.

However, he did confirm that the club is always looking to strengthen the squad. Ugarte’s arrival could also pave the way for Scott McTominay’s departure, with a fee reportedly agreed with Napoli for the Scottish international.

With the transfer window closing in just four days, Manchester United fans will be eagerly awaiting the official announcement of Ugarte's arrival at Old Trafford.
