"Manchester United defensive midfielder Manuel Ugarte reportedly looks set to make way so the club can make a new signing in that position in January. The Uruguay international has struggled to impress at Old Trafford since he signed from Paris Saint-Germain, and it now makes sense that a departure is edging closer. According to Fichajes, it could be that Man Utd will use fellow INEOS-owned club Nice as a destination for Ugarte"
"Ugarte had also looked a little out of place during his time at PSG, and although he has his qualities, he's perhaps just not that well suited to a club with expectations of dominating possession and playing attack-minded football. The 24-year-old is a tough tackling and hard working defensive midfield player who could do a job for a team whose defence needs more protection."
Manuel Ugarte has struggled to settle at Manchester United since his move from Paris Saint-Germain and is reportedly likely to be moved on in January. Manchester United could use INEOS-owned Nice as a destination to offload Ugarte and pursue alternatives such as Carlos Baleba or Conor Gallagher. Selling Ugarte would recoup transfer money and remove his wages, freeing funds for a replacement. Ugarte's strengths are tough tackling and work rate, but his profile suits teams needing defensive protection rather than possession-dominant, attack-minded sides. United require a more all-round midfielder with defensive capacity and high passing quality, exemplified by Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo.
