Exclusive: Man United consider surprising cost-effective alternative to Ugarte

Last season, Man United manager, Erik ten Hag, faced significant issues with experienced midfielder, Casemiro, hence a potential pursuit for Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte.

Opponents were able to penetrate United’s back line too easily, with the Brazilian struggling to hold the fort.

The Red Devils pursuit of Ugarte was expected to progress after PSG signed Portuguese star, Joao Neves, however, it seems that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his board are continuing to baulk at the asking price for the Uruguayan.
