Manchester United inching closer to a Manuel Ugarte deal
The rumors surrounding Manuel Ugarte have been flying around for a while now. Will he end up joining Manchester United or not? MUFC is in need of some help in the middle of the pitch and the urgency could increase if they sell Scott McTominay.
McTominay has been linked to Fulham, Napoli and others. According to the latest reports, though, it appears a move for Ugarte is as close as ever. Will the board be able to get this finalized ahead of the summer transfer deadline?

More details to be clarified. Not a done deal yet. But all parties involved… pic.twitter.com/ekCU3mdHG5
As things stand, Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro appear to be the main players in the midfield. However, Casemiro's form dropped tremendously last season, which was a concern. Bringing in Ugarte would be a huge bonus for Erik Ten Hag. Will it get done? We'll find out soon enough.
