PSG reject Manchester United’s offer for Manuel Ugarte | OneFootball

According to L’Équipe, Paris Saint-Germain have rejected an offer from Manchester United for Manuel Ugarte (23) which has been deemed insufficient, with the club keen to collect near to the amount they paid for the midfielder last summer when he joined from Sporting for €60 million.

The English club are interested in bolstering a number of positions this summer as they look to improve on a season that was generally disappointing despite securing European football by beating Manchester City in the FA Cup final.

Their midfield has been a problem area for a while with Casemiro (32) approaching the end of his career and Sofyan Amrabat (27) struggling with consistency. There is a sense that the club would like to bring in another recruit to play alongside the impressive Kobbie Mainoo (19)

However, the club will face some stiff competition for Ugarte’s signature with L’Équipe further reporting that an English and German side are also showing interest in the midfielder.

Manuel Ugarte’s uneven season at PSG

Ugarte would be a young and combative presence to add to the Manchester United side, but there remain some question marks about his suitability at the top level. He excelled in the early parts of his debut season with PSG  but struggled to find a consistent place in the starting eleven for the French champions by the end of the campaign.
