Manchester United rejects first offer for Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain
Manchester United's initial bid for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte was rejected, talkSPORT understands.
The Uruguayan has only been in the french giants for a season after completing a move from Sporting Lisbon for around £51m.
However, Ugarte, who was also linked with Chelsea last summer, is now the subject of interest from the red devils.
The 23-year-old has made 37 appearances for PSG, with whom he won Ligue 1, the French Cup and the Champions Trophy.
Ugarte is also a regular international for Uruguay and started in his debut in the Copa América with a 3-1 victory against Panama.
The defensive midfielder has four years left on his PSG contract but could be on his way to joining the Premier League.
United are set for their third season under Erik ten Hag, who will stay until next season despite intense speculation over his future.
Their midfield could certainly be an area for improvement this summer after a disappointing season despite the FA Cup victory.
Sofyan Amrabat is expected to return to Fiorentina after his loan spell, but United have reported that they have the option of a £21.4m permanent transfer.
The sporting director of Fiorentina, Daniele Prade, revealed that he is thinking about the Moroccan wants to stay in the Premier League, although nothing has been decided yet.

There has also been speculation about Casemiro's future at Old Trafford, with the Brazilian having two years left on his current contract.
The former Real Madrid player has been strongly linked with Saudi Pro League teams Al Nassr and Al Hilal, and the Saudis value him at around £25m.
Bruno Fernandes has also emerged as a possible signing for Saudi clubs, but a deal is unlikely to be agreed this summer.
Man United still have other players in midfield, including Mason Mount, Scott McTominay and Christian Eriksen, as well as young revelation Kobbie Mainoo.
