Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Manchester United have reached an agreement with Manuel Ugarte over personal terms to join this summer, though a deal remains far from certain with the Red Devils still negotiating a fee with Paris Saint-Germain and with Sir Jim Ratcliffe still very much open to signing an alternative for a cut-price fee.
The Red Devils have acted quickly this summer to bolster their ranks, shelling out a combined £88.7m on Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro who signed for the club over successive weekends. But Manchester United are far from finished yet and minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe knows much more is still to be done if they are to catapult themselves back among the elite of the English game in the 2024/25 campaign.
