Manchester United are getting ‘closer’ to signing Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain.
Erik ten Hag’s side are desperate to bring in a new midfielder after completing the signings Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich.
Both players are expected to be announced as Man Utd players in the coming hours and will be Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s third and fourth summer signings after landing Leny Yoro from Lille and Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna.
Despite being on the brink of losing his job in May, Ten Hag is now being backed by the club’s new co-owner Ratcliffe, who has invested £88million with another £60m to be paid to Bayern for Mazraoui and De Ligt.
It is a big display of faith from the British billionaire, who is reportedly keen on bringing in Ugarte from PSG as well.
