Overview

• Fabrizio Romano reports that Italian clubs explored taking Ugarte on loan after the window closed, with interest potentially shifting toward January.
• Approaches in the summer were loan-only and no cash proposals arrived, which prevented a move from materialising.
• United closed the door on any temporary exit and will only revisit Ugarte’s future if a permanent offer is tabled, with 2026 cited as a possible inflection point.
• Ugarte has started just one Premier League match this season and has 49 United appearances since his 2024 move from Paris Saint‑Germain.
• The 24-year-old cost around £50.5m (€60m including add-ons), is contracted until 2029 with an option year, and retains Ruben Amorim’s confidence.
