Manchester United have finally got their main midfield target in the form of Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Uruguayan has been the priority target throughout the summer, with United desperate to sign him, and the midfielder only wanting a transfer to Old Trafford.
Ultimately, The Red Devils have secured a deal for Ugarte, however, at one point there appeared to be too big a difference in the two clubs valuation of the 23-year-old, and it was reported that United abandoned the deal. In light of this, The Red Devils began retracing their steps in their midfield shortlist and rallied round other potentials.

Now, one of those strongly considered is set to be moving to the Premier League.
Back in November last year, fresh off the back of their Copa Libertadores victory, a number of clubs, including United, started looking at Fluminense’s midfielder, Andre.
It was highly anticipated that the then 22-year-old would be moving to Europe in January. The question didn’t appear to be if he would move, but which club would he transfer to.
Ultimately the Brazilian stayed with the club for the rest of the season, with United not forgetting the defensive midfielder.
When things looked like it was going south with the Ugarte deal, Andre’s name resurfaced, with the club strongly considering opening conversations for a deal.
However, Andre is now set to be moving to Wolverhampton Wanderers as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano.
Brazilian publication Ge Global have reported that the deal has been agreed for €22 million with a further €3 million in bonuses.
It’s understood that the midfielder is set to travel to England this week to undertake his medical assessment ahead of completing his move.
