Manchester United's new hierarchy appear to have built back a bridge which was burned by their predecessors when Cristiano Ronaldo departed under a dark cloud in 2022
Manchester United have agreed two deals this summer thanks to the help of influential agent Jorge Mendes after a thaw in their relations.
Yoro's arrival in a £52million move from Lille suggested the once fiery relationship had cooled, and the expected £42m signing of PSG's Uruguayan midfielder Ugarte seems to confirm that the fallout from the Ronaldo episode is now well in the past. He's set to be United's fifth summer acquisition, joining Yoro, Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee and Bayern Munich duo Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.
The Red Devils had identified their midfield as a weak point and Ten Hag first targeted the 22-year-old back in June. Unsurprisingly, the Uruguayan's employers slapped a £51.1million price tag on their prized asset, a fee that United were reluctant to match. Mendes no longer represents Al-Nassr forward Ronaldo, 39, after they parted ways in the wake of the legendary forward's Old Trafford exit. The reason was believed to be because he failed to secure him a Champions League club.
