Manchester United’s pursuit of Manuel Ugarte this summer has been like a rollercoaster, with the midfielder now sending a four-word message to the Red Devils amid emerging transfer updates.
Over the last week, United and PSG met to discuss the potential transfers of both Manuel Ugarte and Jadon Sancho.
However, news come out that United were abandoning the Ugarte deal with the clubs not able to agree a fee. PSG are holding firm on a £51.4 million price tag on the midfielder, with United seeing his true valuation as much less.
Now, new reports are suggesting that the two clubs are still in contact regarding the midfielder.
United still looking to Manuel Ugarte
Since news of United’s abandonment of the Ugarte deal, Manchester Evening News have reported this may not be the case.
The Red Devils are reportedly still in contact with the French champions around Ugarte to try and come to an agreement.
The Uruguay international has already agreed personal terms with United and is reportedly keen on a move to Manchester.
However the only sticking point now is a final agreement on the fee for the star.
Ugarte’s message to United
Amid all this hype and confusion of what is actually happening with United and Ugarte, the man himself has stirred up a storm on social media.
Commenting on fellow countryman Facundo Pellestri’s Instagram posts of returning to Carrington, Ugarte has made a simple four-word message.
The comment itself reads “Is that the cut” with very little context to its meaning.
In the States, especially in the sporting world, the word “cut” can refer to “making the team”, referencing making the cut-off for the team. This could be a sneaky comment questioning on how to make the team, in keeping with his desire to join United.
