Manchester United are closing in on a deal to sign Manuel Ugarte on a season-long loan deal from Paris Saint-Germain, with an obligation to make the move permanent.

That’s according to Manchester Evening News, who report that further talks with PSG have progressed over a deal which is now considered imminent.

A loan move, rather than a straight permanent move, means Scott McTominay will not have to be sold this summer, but the club remain open to offers for ageing pair Casemiro and Christian Eriksen.

Ugarte is understood to be desperate to move Old Trafford after falling out of favour during his first season with PSG.

Talks between the clubs have been ongoing for some time, with the French giants hoping to recoup most of the £51million paid for the player last summer. A compromise has now been reached.

Head coach Luis Enrique initially played the midfielder regularly but reported concerns over the player’s perceived weakness in possession saw him lose his place as the season wore on.

Ugarte will now be tasked with improving a midfield alongside young United star Kobbie Mainoo.
