Manchester United have Ugarte bid rejected

Manuel Ugarte was apparently the target of a proposal rejected by Manchester United.

The Uruguayan was approached by Chelsea to sign him before he chose to sign with Paris Saint-Germain from Sporting CP last summer. He had previously been linked to a move to the Premier League. In his first season, he made 37 appearances in all competitions, helping PSG win Ligue 1 and advance to the Champions League semifinals.

Ugarte might be relocating again, even though he moved to Parc des Princes less than a year ago. The French powerhouses are reportedly considering offers for Ugarte, and United, who is trying to find a Casemiro replacement, had their first attempt turned down.

L’Equipe, however, reports that PSG turned down a ‘undisclosed fee’ for the 23-year-old because it didn’t match the club’s asking price. However, a number of suitors are reportedly interested in the Ligue 1 team, and they have made it clear that they are open to considering “improved offers.”

In the meantime, Casemiro is probably going to depart Old Trafford following yet another disappointing campaign. With an alleged weekly salary of £350,000, he is the club’s highest earner, thus they are also trying to balance the books.
