As Manchester United prepare for a massive summer overhaul under the INEOS regime, another high-profile departure appears to be imminent.

According to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg, out-of-favor midfielder Manuel Ugarte is actively planning a summer transfer away from Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Despite holding a contract that runs until 2029, the 25-year-old Uruguayan international has found himself entirely marginalised in Manchester, opening the door for an intense bidding war spearheaded by Turkish giants Galatasaray<\/p>\n

Ugarte\u2019s tenure in Manchester has been deeply frustrating since his \u00a350.5 million arrival from Paris Saint-Germain in August 2024.<\/p>\n

Manuel Ugarte has struggled at Man United<\/h2>\n

The ball-winning midfielder initially struggled to adapt to the pace of the Premier League, and his situation has only deteriorated since Michael Carrick took the managerial reins from Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n

Under Carrick\u2019s progressive stewardship, Ugarte has managed just a single start, stepping in only when Kobbie Mainoo was injured and has been left as an unused substitute in recent crucial victories over Chelsea, Brentford, and Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Behind the scenes, the club\u2019s hierarchy has already made its definitive decision. Widespread reports suggest that Sir Jim Ratcliffe has personally approved Ugarte\u2019s impending sale.<\/p>\n

With veteran Casemiro also headed for the exit door, Man United are to explore move for new midfielders in the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

Red Devils are ready to make changes in midfield<\/h2>\n

To fund this, United are prepared to ruthlessly cut their losses on Ugarte.<\/p>\n

While his stock may have dipped in England, Ugarte\u2019s aggressive, combative profile remains highly coveted across Europe. Galatasaray currently represent the most concrete suitors.<\/p>\n

As Plettenberg noted, the S\u00fcper Lig heavyweights held extensive, concrete discussions regarding a transfer earlier this year, but the move ultimately collapsed.<\/p>\n

With the summer window approaching and Ugarte actively looking for an escape route, the Turkish club is poised to return to the negotiating table.<\/p>\n
