Man United 'hatch plan to reduce Manuel Ugarte fee' as wages could block transfer
manchestereveningnews.co.ukManchester United are reportedly willing to wait until the transfer deadline day to sign Manuel Ugarte. The midfielder remains a top target for Erik ten Hag but so far, there has been no breakthrough in negotiations.
Paris Saint-Germain are understood be holding out for a £51million (€60m) fee as they are keen to recoup the sum they paid to Sporting Clube de Portugal for him last summer.
