Manchester United are viewed as the ‘ideal destination’ for PSG ace Manuel Ugarte by the player’s agents - additionally, the player himself would ‘love to play there’.
This comes from Uruguay Fichajes, who put out a post on their official X (formerly Twitter) page: “Manchester United is seen as an ideal destination by the group that represents the player, and Ugarte himself would love to play there. PSG will listen to offers and 90% will leave the French club since it is not the coach's priority.”

Reports suggest that United have put forth a bid for Barcelona starlet Fermin Lopez - however, their quest to bring the player on board appears to have hit the rocks, as the 21-year-old has suggested he is ‘not really interested’ in leaving the Camp Nou this summer. He says he wants to ‘be at Barca’ and ‘nothing else’.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lopez said [via Football365]: “I don’t read the press, I’m not really interested. The important thing is that I want to be at Barca and I only think about Barca. Nothing else.”
