Newcastle United is reportedly eyeing a move for Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte as the Uruguayan seeks more playing time. Having played only 915 minutes this season with just seven Premier League starts, Ugarte is keen on a transfer after joining Manchester United from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2024 on a five-year deal. Reports indicate that Manchester United is aware of his intentions and has set a valuation of around £35 million for the midfielder, who is attracting interest from several clubs, including Juventus, Galatasaray, and Aston Villa. Ugarte was previously targeted by Galatasaray, but United blocked a potential loan move in January. Meanwhile, Newcastle is also facing pressure to retain its own midfield talents, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes, amid interest from Manchester United, especially as they prepare for a summer rebuild following the expected departure of veteran midfielder Casemiro. To bolster their midfield, Newcastle is considering Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram as a potential target if they lose Tonali.
