Manchester United transfers: Manuel Ugarte to sign for Red Devils, per report, but how does he fit in?

The midfielder has been one of United's targets this summer, and Erik ten Hag looks close to signing him

Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte is reportedly traveling to England on Tuesday ahead of his medical with Manchester United, nearing completion on a long-awaited move during a busy summer for the club.

United are expected to pay a transfer fee of €60 million to Paris Saint-Germain for Ugarte's services, per The Athletic. It's a deal that reportedly includes an additional €10 million in add-ons and a 10 percent sell-on clause for the French club. The midfielder has been linked to United since the start of the summer but the two clubs reportedly disagreed on the financial structure of the deal for some time. The situation forced United to explore other options like new Fulham signing Sander Berge and re-signing Sofyan Amrabat after spending last season on loan at United.

Erik ten Hag's side, though, will land their preferred target after a fairly impressive year. He was an important fixture for PSG during the first half of the season before his role dwindled. He bounced back by playing all six games for Uruguay at the Copa America, making the team of the tournament as his national team clinched a third-place finish.
