Paul Scholes would like to see Manchester United make an audacious bid to sign Manchester City hero Ilkay Gundogan – raising huge concerns over the club’s proposed move for Manuel Ugarte. United are believed to be close to wrapping up a deal to sign Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain in what would be their fifth signing of the summer. The Uruguay international is expected to join the club on a permanent deal this summer for £51million or on loan with an obligation to buy next year. A midfielder has been high on the club’s list of priorities all summer but Scholes is convinced they are targeting the wrong profile of player. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #mancity #paulscholes #manuelugarte #football #transferwindow

Manchester United have made a breakthrough in their bid to sign Manuel Ugarte with Paris Saint-Germain prepared to accept a loan offer for the midfielder. Erik ten Hag is eager to strengthen his options in midfield this summer with the Uruguay international emerging as a leading target. Ugarte joined PSG from Sporting Lisbon last summer having rejected a move to Chelsea but with Joao Neves poised to join the French champions from Benfica, he has slipped further down the pecking order in Paris. Ugarte is keen on a move to Old Trafford but United hit an impasse in talks last month with PSG reportedly demanding a fee of close to £60million. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #eriktenhag #psg #benfica #football #manuelugarte
