Manuel Ugarte leaving Manchester United?
According to Team Talk, Italian clubs showed interest in signing Manuel Ugarte from Manchester United this summer, but Manchester United decided against a loan move. United may consider a sale in the future if a permanent deal proposal is made, especially around 2026.
Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Manchester United are open to selling Manuel Ugarte after just one season. There was a possibility of an exit this summer with Italian clubs showing interest, but United decided against a loan move, closing that option for now. A permanent deal proposal in 2026 could change the situation. United are willing to consider his sale if an offer comes in for around £30m to £35m due to his disappointing form since his arrival. Ugarte was signed from PSG in summer 2024 for an initial fee of £42m, with £8m in add-ons, totaling £50m.
Manuel Ugarte, a recent addition to the Manchester United squad, is available for transfer offers as the club seeks to alleviate financial difficulties. The club is awaiting potential bids in January.
Manuel Ugarte, despite joining Manchester United last summer for €60 million, is not considered untouchable. The club is open to offers for him, and PSG is particularly interested as they will receive 10% of any resale. His market value is estimated at €50 million.
Manuel Ugarte's name is not included in the 'unverkoopbaar' (unsellable) list at Manchester United, indicating that he could be transferred if the right offer comes along. This forms part of the club's plan to revamp the team under Rúben Amorim's management.
Manuel Ugarte is reconsidering his future at Manchester United after a disappointing start to the season. The Uruguayan midfielder, who joined from PSG, has struggled to secure a key role under coach Erik Ten Hag. With limited playing time of just 256 minutes over five matches, Ugarte is frustrated, especially given his 50 million euro transfer fee. Manchester United's poor performance, currently fourteenth in the Premier League, and competition from other players have hindered his adaptation. Recent benching against Aston Villa further indicates a lack of confidence from Ten Hag, prompting Ugarte to contemplate his options if his situation doesn't improve soon.
