Man Utd set low asking price for midfielder sale

Ugarte to leave United on the cheap?

Man Utd set low asking price for midfielder sale

12 May 2026 - 20:13

Manchester United are prepared to part ways with midfielder Manuel Ugarte for a low-ball figure this summer, according to The Sun.

  • Chelsea make first move to sign Xabi Alonso
  • Chelsea ready new contract for star midfielder


  • The Uruguayan signed for the Red Devils with plenty of promise in 2024, but his performances have been hugely disappointing.

    The former PSG man has struggled to adapt to the demands of the Premier League, and United are now willing to sanction his sale.

    The club have set a price tag of £25 million for the midfielder, significantly less than the £42 million paid upfront for his services.

    However, there are no suitors for the South American ace thus far and United may have to lower their asking price even further.

    There are also suggestions that United may decide to keep hold of Ugarte for another year rather than losing him on the cheap this summer.

    Alongside Ugarte, Joshua Zirkzee continues to be linked with an exit, having failed to impress as a number nine at United to date.
