BACK David Tully Mar 31st 2026 Juventus are weighing up a move for Man Utd midfielder Manuel Ugarte, according to reports in the Italian media. Gazzetta Dello Sport claim that the Serie A side’s sporting director, Marco Ottolini, will run the rule over the player when Uruguay take on Algeria in a friendly. Ugarte is not a regular starter for the Red Devils, having come under heavy criticism for his performances over the last two seasons, and fans on X are hoping that Juve take him off the club’s hands: Send him there for free — The United Lad (@TheUnitedLad541) March 30, 2026 50m or nothing lol — Daniel United (@DanielRedUnited) March 30, 2026 We need to move on From him — CƴƦÌL (@cyrilthered) March 30, 2026 That would be great — 12/15 (@POkatureIfy) March 30, 2026 Let them come and take him please — Aaron maitala (@MaitalaAaron) March 30, 2026 So far as they bring the money, I’m tired of all these Italian clubs and their loan deals. — Druid_ 🧘🏾♂️ (@MichaelOkelly5) March 30, 2026 Ugarte has been an expensive flop United splashed out an initial €50m, with another €10m in add-ons, to bring him from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2024. However, Ugarte has flattered to deceive since making the switch to Old Trafford. His technical limitations have been exposed on a regular basis in the Premier League. Interim manager Michael Carrick has not started the Uruguayan international in any fixture since his appointment before the Manchester derby back in mid-January. Several Man Utd players are up for sale Ugarte is not the only member of the first-team squad who could be let go at the end of the season. Loanees Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund are expected to leave, although the latter’s move to Napoli is more certain due to the conditions of the deal. Joshua Zirkzee is also likely to be sold if a buyer can be found. The Dutchman could potentially move to Italy along with Ugarte. Want more news on Man Utd?
