The hunt is on for an alternative signing to Manuel Ugarte and THREE sources have detailed Manchester United interest in a France international who could abort an agreed transfer in favour of moving to Old Trafford.
Man Utd had initially intended to sign Ugarte and Bayern Munich pair, Matthijs De Ligt and Noussair Nazraoui, to bring their summer signings tally to five. Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro were arrivals one and two.
Personal terms were agreed with all three of Ugarte, De Ligt and Mazraoui. Five-year deals with club options for sixth seasons were sealed.
However, Man Utd are finding it difficult to close on each of the deals for contrasting reasons.
