Ugarte reveals why he decided to leave PSG for Man Utd

Manuel Ugarte has become United's fifth major signing of the transfer window after defenders Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui and Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee.

The 23-year-old, who spent just one season with the French champions, joins the English giants for a reported initial 50 million euros, with a further 10 million euros in performance-related add-ons.

"First and foremost, its history, because we all know what a massive club United is - one of the best teams in the world. I also spoke a lot with Facu Pellistri and he told me all about everything: the atmosphere that's generated, the matchday atmosphere that builds up at Old Trafford is incredible," said the 22-year-old in an interview, explaining his decision to join the Red Devils.

"I'm really excited. I'd love to experience United's legendary stadium as a player and feel the presence of the supporters. I'm really thrilled and more than anything eager and excited, while I obviously realise that it's a great responsibility and I'm prepared for that," he added.
