Man Utd can now sign Ugarte alternative for £29.5m, 7.2 recoveries/game last season - report

Manchester United are expected to continue their spending spree in the current transfer window and a new defensive midfielder could be their next priority.

AC Milan were close to signing Youssouf Fofana for €15 million (£12.6m) plus add-ons, but the scenario has changed with United and Atletico Madrid entering the scene.

According to Sky Sport Italy, the Ligue 1 outfit have increased their asking price to €35m (£29.5m) on the back of fresh interest in the France international.
