United have prioritised a move for Ugarte throughout the summer, agreeing personal terms with the player, but PSG’s resilience in their asking price has seen the move stall.
The 23-year-old was left tout of PSG’s season opener against Le Harve and is expected to leave the French champions, being replaced by Joao Neves.
Despite securing a 1-0 victory over Fulham in their Premier League opener, with Casemiro delivering a standout performance, Manchester United still remain keen on finding a strong partner for Kobbie Mainoo to further bolster their midfield for this season.
