Manuel Ugarte has been left out of Paris Saint-Germain’s squad for their Ligue 1 opener, fueling speculation about his potential transfer to Manchester United. The Uruguayan midfielder has already agreed on personal terms with United, but the two clubs remain at odds over his valuation.

PSG demands £51 million, the amount they paid Sporting last summer, while United values Ugarte at £42 million. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Ugarte’s exclusion suggests PSG is preparing for a sale. United manager Erik ten Hag is eager to bolster his midfield, with Ugarte seen as a key addition.

However, United is also exploring alternative options, such as Sander Berge and Youssouf Fofana, in case negotiations falter. Ugarte’s absence from PSG’s training sessions and the match against Le Havre has further fueled excitement among United fans, who are optimistic about the deal being finalized soon.
