Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is ready to sell Manuel Ugarte to Newcastle United in a deal to get Sandro Tonali to Old Trafford, according to a report.
Ugarte’s days at Man Utd are numbered , with The Athletic reporting last week that INEOS chief Ratcliffe wants the midfielder gone. Ratcliffe watched Ugarte live in action for Man Utd against Leeds United at Old Trafford in the Premier League earlier this month.
The Man Utd co-owner watched the game from the directors’ box at Old Trafford, and he was far from impressed with the Uruguay international midfielder, who cost the Premier League club £50.5million when they signed him from Paris Saint Germain in 2024.
Ratcliffe is said to be keen on Ugarte being ‘sold’, with the midfielder made ‘available for transfer’ this summer. There is interest in Ugarte from Newcastle United , according to Gnine Sports news.
