  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  It was earlier reported that United were keen on signing the Uruguay international as they look to rebuild their squad under Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS group's leadership. However, the club considered the valuation of the midfielder too high as the Ligue 1 champions were demanding £51 million ($66.2m).

  Ugarte reportedly has been deemed surplus to Luis Enrique's needs which has given confidence to the Manchester club that they will be able to complete the transfer before the transfer window shuts.
