Manuel Ugarte's social media message sparks Man Utd excitement with transfer close
Manuel Ugarte has sparked excitement from Manchester United fans with his reaction to a post on social media. The PSG midfielder is on the brink of a move to Old Trafford, with the two clubs reportedly agreeing on a £51million fee.
The development comes on the same day that Ugarte's Uruguayan team-mate, Facundo Pellistri, left United to join Greek Super League side Panathinaikos.
The deal is worth £6.8million, with United receiving £5.1m for the winger with up to £1.7m in potential add-ons.

Ugarte's exit from PSG has appeared inevitable ever since he was axed from the first team squad in pre-season by manager Luis Enrique. And he wasn't selected to travel for their Ligue 1 opener at Le Havre on Friday night.
That's despite spending just one season in Paris following his £50million move from Sporting CP. He contributed to a domestic treble, with the club winning Ligue 1, the Coupe de France, and the Trophee des Champions.
