Manchester Utd have agreed deal to sign 25yo star with 7.2 recoveries/game after ending Ugarte interest – Sir Jimcliffe wants to close the deal before the league starts
Manchester United is actively seeking a defensive midfielder as they prepare for the upcoming Premier League season. Although Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte was initially a priority, recent reports suggest that United will not pursue him, primarily due to his £51.5 million price tag. The club is now exploring other options to strengthen their midfield.
A notable candidate is Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana, whose contract expires next summer and is expected to be sold. Fofana has been identified as an alternative for United, with his potential transfer fee estimated at around £30 million. Earlier this summer, AC Milan had reached personal terms with Fofana but backed out after Monaco increased their valuation, influenced by interest from Atletico Madrid and Manchester United.
With Atletico now focused on acquiring Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher, United may have a clear path to signing Fofana. The 25-year-old French midfielder could be a valuable addition to United’s squad. Last season in Ligue 1, Fofana demonstrated solid defensive skills, winning 50 percent of his duels, averaging 7.2 recoveries, and making 1.9 tackles per game. He also succeeded in 60 percent of his take-ons.
