Manchester United are willing to wait to land Manuel Ugarte.
It has already been a busy summer for United, with Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro brought in early in the window.
PSG’s Ugarte is seemingly next on the wishlist, but United are currently unwilling to meet the £70m valuation for the midfielder.
GiveMeSport report that United believe PSG will drop that asking price as the summer goes on, particularly with Ugarte said to be keen on the move, and so are not in a rush to reach an agreement.

2 hours agoBrentford suffer early Thiago blow
Brentford have confirmed Igor Thiago suffered a meniscus injury on his first appearance for the club.
The 23-year-old featured for the Bees against AFC Wimbledon on Saturday and scored twice in the 5-2 win, but he now faces a spell on the sidelines in a major blow to Thomas Frank’s side.
Thiago will have further scans next week to determine the severity of the injury, having already been ruled out of Thursday night’s friendly against Benfica.
Brentford signed the Brazilian in February for £30million, with the Brazilian then finishing the season with Club Brugge before joining up with his new club this summer.
Speaking last month, Frank named Thiago as the man to step up and replace Ivan Toney, should the England forward leave Brentford before the end of the window.
“Of course, we plan and then other things can happen,” Frank said.
“Maybe we are selling a player but we are prepared for that.
If he is leaving us — and I’d still like to keep him, he’s a top player — this time we are prepared and brought in Igor Thiago.”

5 hours agoArsenal could seek Hein loan move
Mikel Arteta has confirmed Arsenal goalkeeper Karl Hein could go out on loan for the season ahead.
The 22-year-old joined the Gunners in 2018 and has only made one first-team appearance for the club, that coming against Brighton in the Carabao Cup in 2022.
Hein, however, signed a new contract in June and proved the penalty shootout hero as Arteta’s side got their pre-season tour of the United States off to a winning start.
The Estonia international saved two penalties in Carson, California after a 1-1 draw between the two Premier League sides.
“That’s a conversation that we are having at the moment,” said Arteta when asked about Hein’s future
“Obviously, David and Aaron are away at the moment and we’re really short in the position.
“We want to develop our players, especially a player like Karl with a big potential and a big future ahead of him.
