Manchester United make major demand for Manuel Ugarte

Serie A side Juventus have been linked with a move for Manchester Unitedโ€™s Manuel Ugarte but are likely to face major problems over a move.

The Red Devils have seen the midfielder struggle since his arrival from Paris Saint-Germain. Ugarte has never managed to establish himself as a regular, also failing to make a mark under Michael Carrick in the last few weeks.

Quotidiano Sportivo talk about the Old Ladyโ€™s midfield targets and believe that the Manchester United player is an alternative to Newcastle Unitedโ€™s Sandro Tonali. The Italian is expected to cost a lot, leadingย  to the Bianconeri searching for other targets.

But even Ugarte is expected to cost a lot, with Manchester United demanding around โ‚ฌ50 million to let him depart. This is likely to cause problems to Juve, had reportedly scouted the Uruguay international in his nationโ€™s friendly against Algeria last week in Turin.

As things stand, a move for the ex-Sporting player remains difficult, with Juve having previously kept a close eye on Ugarte in the past too.
