Fabrizio Romano now confirms 'tireless' £38m star is open to joining Manchester United

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte is open to joining Manchester United despite their absence in the Champions League next term, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Uruguay international joined the French champions from Sporting Lisbon last summer. He made 37 appearances, but he was largely on the bench in the second half of the campaign.

Luis Enrique preferred the trio of Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz and Warren Zaire-Emery over him in midfield and this could pave the way for his departure in the coming weeks.
