If Ugarte comes as expected the 23-year-old will be Erik ten Hag’s fifth major signing of the market, after centre-back Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt , the striker Joshua Zirkzee and Noussair Mazraoui, a 26-year-old full-back. The club believe all have their peak years ahead. United were reluctant to allow him to leave but Ten Hag could not guarantee the midfielder the starting berth he wanted. The Premier League profitability and sustainability rules that incentivise the sale of homegrown players also meant the deal is attractive.
