Manchester United plans to sell Manuel Ugarte at a loss
Summary

Manchester United is ready to part ways with midfielder Manuel Ugarte this summer, reportedly accepting a financial loss on the player. Ugarte, who struggled to secure consistent playing time last season, started only 10 matches across all competitions. The club initially paid £42.3 million for Ugarte in 2024, but their asking price now must be around £25.38 million to avoid a loss under Premier League financial regulations. Interest has been expressed from Galatasaray and AC Milan, but both clubs have yet to meet United’s asking price. The potential sale is part of a broader squad overhaul under manager Michael Carrick, who has seen other players, like Casemiro and Jadon Sancho, depart the team as well.
