United to cut ties with Manuel Ugarte prematurely

Indeed, United have decided that they’ve seen enough in the two seasons that the Uruguayan has represented them to know that he’s not dependable enough to keep beyond the summer.

It means they will need to find a buyer for Ugarte, who’s been linked with Ajax and Galatasaray, and decide a suitable fee in order to recuperate some of the £42 million they shelled out for him.

The 24-year-old’s contract runs until 2029, plus the option of an additional year.

How Casemiro is faring in his final season

As for Casemiro, it goes without saying that a real marquee signing will be necessary to succeed the seasoned veteran.

Even now, with the likes of Ugarte, Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount all vying for places, the five-time Champions League winner has retained his starting spot throughout the duration of the campaign.

The term also marks Casemiro’s career-best for goals thus far, with the defensive-minded stalwart returning a hugely impressive seven goals – as well as two assists – in the Premier League.

What Romano had to say about United

Weighing in on INEOS’ plans for the middle of the park, Romano said on YouTube: “The other update I can give you is, according to my information today, Manuel Ugarte could also leave Manchester United in the summer transfer window.

“Some movements have already started to find solutions. So you can imagine, with Casemiro leaving, Ugarte leaving, with Manchester United probably playing Champions League football, for sure playing European football, it means that United need two more midfielders.”
