Man Utd are 'close' to naming Sir Jim Ratcliffe's first signing. Manchester United are close to sealing a deal for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte as INEOS prepare to oversee their first piece of transfer business, according to reports. The 23-year-old arrived from Sporting Lisbon in a £51million deal last summer, signing a five-year contract at the Parc des Princes. And Ugarte has emerged as a leading target for United at the start of the Sir Jim Ratcliffe era, which involves a new-look recruitment team run by INEOS. According to ESPN Uruguay, Ugarte is close to completing a move to Old Trafford after losing his standing at PSG.
