Manuel Ugarte has passed his Man United medical, official announcement later on Thursday – Man United News And Transfer News


Uruguay international Manuel Ugarte has passed his Manchester United medical, reports Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.

After weeks of chasing Ugarte, news broke on Tuesday that United finally reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain over the midfielder’s signing.

It’s believed that United will part with £42m for the 23-year-old plus a further £8m in add-ons.

PSG inserted a 10% sell-on clause in the deal to take the combative Ugarte to Old Trafford.

On Wednesday morning, a report covered by The Peoples Person noted that Ugarte travelled from Paris to Manchester to undergo his medical ahead of signing off on personal terms with the Red Devils.

Plettenberg has now given an update and indicated that Ugarte passed his medical and everything is now complete, bar an official announcement from United.

He wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “DONE DEAL | Manuel Ugarte has successfully passed his medical with Manchester United.”

“Announcement probably today, Thursday.”

“23 y/o Ugarte, new defensive midfielder of Man United.”

“News confirmed. Jorge Mendes did it. Saga is over.”

Ugarte effectively becomes United’s fifth signing of the transfer window, following the acquisitions of Leny Yoro, Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.

All through the summer, he was mentioned as United’s primary target and now, the Reds finally have their man in place.

For PSG, Ugarte made 37 appearances, including 25 in France’s top flight as they won their 12th Ligue 1 title. Unfortunately for him, he fell down the pecking order under Luis Enrique, who demonstrated a clear preference for other players in the middle of the park.

United fans will be hoping that Ugarte can play a part in the upcoming home fixture against bitter rivals Liverpool.
