Entering the final stretch of the market, Erik ten Hag may receive good news regarding one of his dreams for Manchester United. The club has been in an intense search to strengthen its squad, especially in the midfield. Although many expected the star signing to be Frenkie de Jong, the real objective seems to be in Paris.

Manchester United have been in a restructuring phase under the management of Erik ten Hag. Having signed a two-year contract extension, Ten Hag has overseen the arrival of several key players. The 'Red Devils' board seeks to consolidate a team that can compete at the highest level in the Premier League and in European competitions.

The long-awaited signing of Erik Ten Hag

The player who has caught the attention is the PSG defensive midfielder. Manuel Ugarte , known for his tenacity and defensive skills, has become a priority for Ten Hag. Despite joining PSG last summer for a hefty fee, his current situation at the Parisian club has put him on Manchester United's radar.

PSG are willing to listen to offers for Manuel Ugarte, who has not been a priority under Luis Enrique . This context has opened a window of opportunity for Manchester United. Negotiations are ongoing, and although PSG are looking to recoup what they invested in Manuel Ugarte, Manchester United are seriously considering the possibility of closing the deal.

A signing that would change the Premier table

The incorporation of Manuel Ugarte could significantly change the dynamics of the team. His ability to recover balls and distribute the game would make him a key piece in Erik Ten Hag's scheme. Furthermore, this move would send a strong message to competitors in the Premier League about Manchester United's ambitions for next season.

The signing of Manuel Ugarte by Manchester United seems to be a matter of time and negotiation. With PSG willing to sell and the player interested in joining the 'Red Devils', United are in a strong position to secure this important reinforcement. If completed, this signing could be one of the most notable of the summer market, significantly strengthening Manchester United in its quest for titles next season.
