A Wave of New Talent at Old Trafford: Ugarte and Kone Join the Red Devils

Manchester United fans are in for an exciting day as the club is set to announce not just one, but two promising new arrivals.

Ugarte: The Midfield Maestro Set for Old Trafford

United have finalized a deal with PSG for 23-year-old Manuel Ugarte, and it's a big one! The agreement is worth €50 million with an additional €10 million in add-ons, bringing the total to a cool £50.5 million. Ugarte is set to sign a five-year contract, with an option for a sixth season. The buzz around his signing has been building, especially with the anticipated sale of Scott McTominay to Napoli, which has paved the way for Ugarte's move.

Initially, there were discussions about a loan deal with an obligation to buy in 2025, which would have delayed payment. However, with McTominay’s €30 million (£25.2 million) switch to Napoli, the path is clear for Manchester United to secure Ugarte outright. He has already passed the main part of his medical tests, and according to Fabrizio Romano, the transfer guru, the deal is set to be officially finalized today at Carrington.

Romano, who has been keeping fans updated on social media, declared Thursday as "Manuel Ugarte day at Man United," adding to the excitement surrounding the deal. With Ugarte in, United's midfield is about to get a serious boost.
