It is unclear if United will return this summer with a better bid for the Uruguayan star.
Ugarte joined PSG from Portuguese outfit, Sporting Lisbon ahead of the 2023/24 season. The 23-year-old featured in 37 matches and provided three assists for Luis Enrique’s side across all competitions.
He is currently representing Uruguay in the ongoing Copa America in the United States of America where he starred for Marcelo Bielsa’s side as they recorded a 3-1 victory over Panama in their opening match.
