MU transfer: Instead of adding a new player in the left-back position, Manchester United has decided to focus all its efforts in the final days of the 2024 summer transfer window to recruit Manuel Ugarte in an unexpected way.

Despite both Luke Shaw and Malacia being injured, Man Utd still have no intention of adding a left-back in the summer transfer window of 2024. Coach Erik ten Hag will use Diogo Dalot and Mazraoui alternately, and even Lisandro Martinez if necessary. They have refused to recruit Ferdi Kadioglu and will focus all their efforts on recruiting another defensive midfielder in the next few days.

Casemiro started the season in such good form that coach Erik ten Hag changed his mind and kept him for next season. Meanwhile, Scott McTominay’s possible move to Napoli will make Man Utd still determined to bring in another defensive midfielder.

Manuel Ugarte has been a target for MU throughout the summer transfer window of 2024, but the two sides have yet to agree on a price. It is known that MU is still 10 million euros away from PSG’s request. The French team is even willing to let Ugarte come to MU on loan this summer with a mandatory buyout clause after the end of the season.

Meanwhile, Man Utd also face less financial pressure because the first year of the contract is just a loan deal. Man Utd spent more than 150 million pounds in the summer transfer market of 2024 and every step they take in the transfer market now will have to be carefully calculated to avoid violating financial fair play laws. MU is even willing to wait for Ugarte until the last day of the summer transfer market to pressure PSG’s price.

Manuel Ugarte played 85 times for Sporting in 2 years. He started his career with Famalicao, also in the Portuguese league. At international level, Manuel Ugarte played 22 times for the Uruguay national team.
