Manchester United have completed the signing of Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain in a deal worth up to £50.5m. United have paid an initial fee of £42m, but the deal could be worth as much as £50.7m including performance-related add-ons. Ugarte was the club's primary midfield target throughout the window and United are understood to be happy with the deal they have struck for the midfielder.
The preferred target had to complement his game by possessing strengths that mask the 19-year-old's blind spots, but also had to fit within the wider recruitment plan of raising the physical ceiling of the squad, offering a different dynamic, and being the right age profile - no signing has been over 26 under the INEOS-led operation. Crucially, options were funnelled by players whose data and scouting analysis was similar to Casemiro.
