Manuel Ugarte to Man United transfer reality has already been explained by player's agent

Manuel Ugarte's agent Jorge Chijane has previously admitted that he's sure the Uruguayan will leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

Manchester United are interested in signing the midfielder after agreeing personal terms last month. However, the sticking point is agreeing a transfer fee with PSG who reportedly value Ugarte at £51million.

The 23-year-old has since been left out of Luis Enrique's squad for PSG's opening game of the Ligue 1 season against Le Havre on Friday. That has led to increased speculation that a move to Old Trafford could soon happen with United in need of midfield reinforcements amid uncertainty over Scott Mctominay's future and Casemiro's struggles.

Ugarte is signed to Jorge Mendes' agency, Gestifute, with the Portuguese flying into London last week, reportedly as part of talks over his client's future. But his agent Chijane has already told O Jogo back in May that the Uruguay international is unlikely to stay in Paris.

"There is much talk, but I am still not sure about the club. There are many possibilities on the table," he said.

"It’s almost certain that he won’t stay, it’s sure he’ll leave. I believe the situation will be resolved."

The midfielder shone for Sporting CP two seasons again in the Champions League but has struggled to make an impact in France. Ugarte's struggles in Paris should be of some concern but he shouldn't be written off after one poor season.

Ugarte was also one of the standout players at the Copa America this summer with his performances playing a key role in Uruguay
