Manchester United have signed Uruguay international midfielder Manuel Ugarte from Paris St Germain. The 23-year-old has joined until June 2029 with the option to extend for a further year, for what the PA news agency understands is an initial £42million fee.
Ugarte won the league and cup double with PSG last season, before playing every game for his country at Copa America and being named in the team of the tournament.
He said: “It is an incredible feeling to join a club of this magnitude; one that is admired all around the world.” Scott McTominay is a midfielder leaving United, for Napoli, who have also landed Brighton’s Scotland international Billy Gilmour.
United have also landed 18-year-old Malian midfielder Sekou Kone, who will initially be supported by the club’s academy as he settles in.
