MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly reached an agreement with the main target, Manuel Ugarte.
Erik ten Hag is desperate to upgrade a defensive midfielder this summer after Casemiro’s form fell off a cliff last season.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano claims United have agreed private terms with Paris Saint-Germain playmaker Ugarte, 23, but would possibly have to get rid of Casemiro or Scott first, McTominay.
However, he added that Old Trafford officials are in talks with PSG over the £50million festival and the face of other clubs.
Ugarte’s agent, Jorge Mendes, represents Leny Yoro, who today completed his transfer to United.
The teenage defender is considered a generational player in the centre of defence and arrived from Lille for £52m.
After signing a five-year contract, Yoro said: “Signing for a club with the stature and ambition of Manchester United so early in my career is an honour.
“From my first conversations with the club, they set up a transparent plan for me on how I can play in Manchester as part of this exciting project and showed me and my family a lot of love.
“I know the history of young players at Manchester United and I believe this can be the best position to succeed in my future and realize my ambitions with my new teammates. I can’t wait to get started.
