AC Milan are considering a move for Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte, with United reportedly open to selling the Uruguay international this summer.
The interest is said to centre on a possible reunion with Ruben Amorim, who worked with Ugarte at Sporting CP and is now rebuilding his own midfield at Milan.
Ugarte joined United from Paris Saint-Germain in August 2024 and remains under contract at Old Trafford.
Ugarte Interest Adds Another Layer To United Midfield Rebuild
The timing matters because Manchester United are already reshaping the middle of the pitch under Michael Carrick.
Casemiro’s exit and the expected arrival of Ederson have changed the balance of the squad, leaving United with major midfield decisions before the new campaign.
ReadManUtd has already covered how Casemiro reportedly agreed an Inter Miami move after his Manchester United exit, and Ugarte could now become another key part of that reset.
According to The Mirror, Milan are weighing up Ugarte as Amorim looks at a player he knows well from Portugal.
For United, the question is less about Ugarte’s ability than squad fit and resale value.
If Milan turn interest into a concrete approach, Carrick could gain another route to fund the next stage of his rebuild.
For Ugarte, the situation now looks like one to watch closely through the summer window rather than a settled Old Trafford future.
