When Ugarte was at Sporting he had the look of a young Casemiro before he went to Real Madrid. He has more pace than Casemiro has EVER had. Would be a perfect signing. He has had a disagreement with Luis Enrique at PSG. So they are looking to move him on out.

[@XDIDK-vm6lg]

Disagreement is not the issue. It's his profile.

[@sacred1827]

@@XDIDK-vm6lg It's also that they have ridiculous options in midfield. Vitinha has become one of the best midfielders in Europe last season and now they have brought in the Brazilian wonderkid Gabriel Moscardo who people reckon is a world class DM in the making. Throw in Zaïre-Emery who is destined for greatness plus Fabian Ruiz. They can afford to make a quick decision on Ugarte.

And that’s a GREAT sign. It means United are finally doing some serious scouting before the entire world is on top of it.

[@joakim1600]

Manuel Ugarte is a very hard working DM and covering a lot of space and is more of a pure ball winner and breaking up games. He is strong and physical but he is not a creative player and he is not particularly quick either. But he is tough and have a great mentality. He remind me about Lizandro Martinez.

[@ryankos6500]

Think his pace for a DM is okay, better than casemiro at least.

[@lasseandersen2215]

If its true he reminds of Martinez, then get him in right away

[@hughmcneillie1032]

I'll drive him from Paris to Carrington myself.

[@geedub2019]

Bad analogy Joe, Di Maria always wanted PSG

[@meldrew69]

That doesn't make it a bad analogy. Di Maria arrived at OT had a bad season and was sold. Ugarte arrived in Paris, had a bad season and is potentially leaving. The analogy makes sense.

[@randopedia1]

Anyone else really wish we had kept Sabitzer, cos I do.

[@KailamiMwiinga]

Nope..

[@jamesthomas6164]

Urgate hasn't had a bad season Luis Enrique demands his 6 to be able to play 1 and 2 touch through the lines like Bustques, Urgate is more in the mould of Casemiro

[@augustinechibuzor35]

I think the, 'Casemiro is done' tune by most of the media is a stretch. He has had a bad season, fact. Why? Maybe cuz he had a bad injury, and has struggled to return to top form. Also, the squad has been in chaos mode all season. He probably is a victim of the trobules. He is a top player. I think theres a place to keep him, and maybe modify his role in the squad.

[@vee__7]

The rumours around casemiro last year were that he was one that would come back from summer a little out of shape. Just like rooney and luke shaw and some others, some can rely on their talent to get them through the first month or two before they're back to their best. If that's the case with casemiro, then next season will only be worse than the last one. I like to be optimistic and dream of one last dance because he was a world class player, but it's just too big a risk. His body just doesn't seem up to it anymore. I love the guy in terms of his career and personality, and feel sorry for him for his drop off. It's never nice to see. But I think he's gotta go to Saudi and maybe play with ronaldo. He'll sell shirts, and if he plays 15/20 games and scores 3 or 4 big goals like his first season with us, it'll be a nice way to round things off for him. That's gotta be his next move. Go get in the gym with ronaldo and have a nice little semi retirement in Saudi

[@gamerbeans7445]

Did you see him in pre-season matches last summer? He took his jersey off and the guy was ripped. He had 6/8 pack. He's just got a round face that makes him look chubby. I wish I had a 6 pack!!

[@vee__7]

@@gamerbeans7445 you can be ripped but not be match fit. Having low body fat has little to do with running for 90 minutes.

[@edlaluz5705]

Get him.. one of the first on the teamsheet for Uruguay. He didn't play much in the second half of the season for PSG due to a disagreement with the manager.

[@kartikkulkarni525]

This a great episode. particularly the second half.

[@gamerbeans7445]

Casimiro's physique. Did you see him during the pre-season matches last summer Jay?? He was ripped. The guy had stomach muscles. 6/8 pack. He's just got a round face. People look at his face and think he's overweight. When he puts most of us to shame in comparison.

[@kofiboakye6173]

Shows you these so called media people don't know everything.

[@ssheldon1616]

Really good stuff today guys.

[@pablod_7]

I wanted Ugarte in the last window and was disappointed that PSG got him. This kid is special and reference point is he plays like a Joshua Kimmich type of player. I'd be stoked if we got him.

[@nickcollins5191]

Considering PSG only signed Ugarte last season and paid £51mill for him, I can’t see them letting him leave without recouping that transfer fee. Think it would be a decent signing, I don’t think we have the funds to pull it off

[@RedDevilDog1207]

Yeah if his wages are 150k weekly then that's about 8M, leaving them probably wanting about 40-45M fee

[@nickcollins5191]

@@RedDevilDog1207 I had a look earlier, his wages apparently (base wage) is £100k. I’d expect them to want to recoup just the transfer fee (which means we’d need to spend at LEAST £50mill) and considering it’s PSG and they just lost Mbappe on a free, I can see them wanting up to £75mill

[@jf2364]

If he's one year into a five year contract then his book value is already down to ~40m, so maybe they'd be happy with that much.

[@nickcollins5191]

@@jf2364 if you do just his transfer fee then I guess so, but if you also add his wages into it (for their books), his value is closer to £60mill. I guess if they are willing to listen to offers then it’s possible we could get him for between £40mill and £50 mill. The issue is that if the reports we’ve had a bid rejected ARE true, no one has reported what that figure is which means the speculation on what he’ll cost is even stronger/bigger 😂

[@RedDevilDog1207]

@nickcollins5191 oh they're going to be greedy for sure lol

[@gv-can4718]

Other News: Martinez has been absolutely mint for Argentina in the Copa America. Two clean sheets and has showed his usual world class traits in two solid games so far. Canada & Chile ain’t world beaters but he has shown already what we have missed all season: awareness, composure, positivity, positioning, tough tackling, calmness etc etc.

[@Ace-wp7ld]

We need 2 players who play at defensive midfielder so we never have to worry about mctominay playing 6 again even if one gets injured or because we need to rotate. My only concern with ugarte is his ability on the ball to pass or dirbble out of trouble. Casemiro had alot of issues doing this and gave the ball away alot which we can’t have if we want to be consistent going forward.

[@thedeliciousdelightoflivin4636]

given the reported lack of money to buy and difficulty on sales, it would be great if Paddock would do a video on which youth players can break through next season and the season after: the class of '25? e.g. Amass next season or season after? This will shape our transfers

[@cyeamaculture8486]

I think with the salah question ( would he have been world class with Roma).. there's a certain chemistry around a club at certain times that elevates players...its a synergy.... something that you can't quite put your finger on

[@Bradj07]

This would be huge and one of few that would actually be worth the money and do a good job for us.

[@DocRock]

The reason why this can works is Ugarte has what it takes but maybe not found it at PSG. Brailsford is a performance and mentality coach that other coaches learn from. Maybe the thinking is they can get him on a bargain and and the staff can squeeze the best out of him. Maybe Fletcher can show him how to be a beast.

[@TheIrulex]

We have a good relationship with PSG they say. We have been discussing a few players. Both us and PSG have a strong interest in Neves at Benfica. Also I am guessing Rashford will have come up when discussing players.

[@danielfarmer6449]

Urgate is a must buy he's great of football manager

[@Traveltheworld1818.]

Imagine because of poor planning, the money that signed 30 year old Casemiro could have signed 2 Ugartes or both Ugarte and Yosouf Fofana.. And the money that signed Maguire could have signed 3 Todibos ...Liverpool do these sorts of cheaper,quality, hungry,young players (macallister ,gravenberch, and the 'Japanese guy' ) all 3 midfielders about same price as Casemiro

[@Supertomiman]

I like that we're going for this kind of player to actually improve our starting 11, but we need to bolster our bench too. It seems like we barely have enough senior players to call up, our squad is trash. We should seriously scour the Championship for British players costing 1-5M that will do a job for us, use the new scouting system, it's been done before. I'd rather have a Dan James coming off the bench than an Antony, and if we're focusing on young British players the resale value will be much higher the initial fee.

[@Ebamber3]

Ugarte wasn't even that bad for PSG; he's a pure ball winning midfielder and behind Mainoo and Bruno that's exactly what we'll need to finish off that midfield It's a sign of the transfers we need to make too, exactly why we should take De Ligt for 42m - he worked last time he played for Ten Hag, he's a great player, and he won't cost us 70m like Branthwaite Before Bruno moved to Sporting, his career was very very underwhelming - sometimes world class players can come from the most unlikely places All we've got in our team right now is Bruno, but in Garnacho, Mainoo, and Martinez we've got 3 potentially world class players just waiting for something to click (or for enough time performing at their current standard to have passed for people to really recognize their talent). We shouldn't be setting our sights on the Premier League right now; the goal SHOULD be to stabilize the team and get us to a standard where we're in the conversation every year. When we're there we can do what Ole tried to do the summer we signed Varane, Sancho, and Ronaldo after his team was stable and sign world class talent to be the cherry on top - with the difference that we just need to get the right cherry

[@kennedylewis2797]

Have seen this guy's clips he is just good, we need him come on Man United ❤❤

[@jumpa654]

Ineos and the United board have to be honest with themselves, and answer the question "What will it take Man United to win the league in 4 or 5 seasons time?". And hopefully the right words that are coming in their heads are 'buy young players that will develop into world class players', 'having the right blend of youth and experience', 'improve training facilities', 'improve youth academy', 'improve stadium', 'improve scouting network', 'spend money on players wisely, spending money on the right players to improve the squad', etc.... Hopefully Ten Hag is the man to take us there. The United owners need to back him, and give him a chance.

[@brianogorman7752]

Is this true? Ugarte is client of Jorge Mendes. Loves to name check United

[@KailamiMwiinga]

Is he good enough? Ugarte is not Luis Enrique type player. He favours Fabiana Luiz and Vitinha because they are more press resistant and play Tiki taka. Ugarte is more like Atletico Madrid's De Paul in the sense that his very defensive, hard tackling and makes driving runs

[@steverimer3257]

Is there any danger of someone accurately reporting that Man United are in for a certain player and that player actually signs?

[@DJBazzoMusic74]

[@lwandomadikizela2213]

Ugarte playing 37 games at PSG ISNT Exactly a red flag, PSG are stacked so him getting that much game time at his age is somewhat of a positive.

[@thedeliciousdelightoflivin4636]

Ten hag bloods players in carefully and gradually like Garnacho. Do you think ten hag can develop amad to be a replacement for Olise and offer something to the striker like Olise could have?

Instead of buying Ugarte United should go for Palinha, dude is very experienced and have been in the PL for me years now. Why are united too focused on young talents only!!!? knowing well that u need in some balance from the experienced players such as Palinha. Like Ugarte should only come on Loan with some sort of clause in case he succeeds then you sign him on an agreed advanced fee. Correct me if i'm wrong but buying Ugarte while you stilll the most average players like Mount, Mctomminay it's gonna make things worse at the club. We need a proper cleanse in that squad before bringing in other players or do it vice-versa recruit your targets as early as possible then get rid of the average squad players.

[@gregoryconran]

Ugarte, is awesome, both feet, covers every blade of grass and tackles like a beast, exactly what we need behind a roaming Bruno. I doubt we are in for him as this would be an epic signing and that is not what we normally go for, this would be a top world class signing

[@hughmcneillie1032]

Surely PSG would like a Sancho type creative player to boss it in Ligue 1. United need to offload players and be creative in doing it. They take Sancho and we get Ugarte.
