Manchester United finalizes €60 million deal for PSG midfielder.

Manchester United have signed long-term midfield target Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain.

The Uruguayan has been a primary priority for the Red Devils all summer, but a transfer could not be made until they agreed to sell Scott McTominay to Napoli.

United would allegedly pay an initial cost of €50 million for Ugarte, with PSG set to earn a further €10 million through add-ons.

He signed a contract at Old Trafford until June 2029, but he was not registered in time to make his debut against Liverpool this weekend.

"It is an incredible feeling to join a club of this magnitude; one that is admired all around the world," remarked Ugarte as he moved. "The project that the football leadership has discussed with me is very exciting; Manchester United is an ambitious club, and I am an ambitious player."

"The passion of supporters is very important to me; I know how amazing United fans are, and I can't wait to visit Old Trafford."

"I'm a person who is driven to succeed; I'll go above and beyond for my teammates. Together, we will battle to win trophies and raise this club to the level it deserves."

The 23-year-old leaves the Parc des Princes just one year after joining from Sporting CP, with PSG breaking even on the transaction after paying €60 million to buy him last summer.

Ugarte has also earned 22 caps for his country.

Canada's confident performance led to a historic away victory over the USA.

On Saturday, two North American rivals met, and Canada defeated the United States 2-1. One team was still riding high off their fourth-place result at Copa América 2024, while the other was a blend of young talent attempting to discover their identity under an interim coach. With such a significant contrast in confidence, the visiting Canucks defeated the Stars and Stripes on their home turf for only the second time in history. Canada dominated the first half, with 11 shots to one, and the first of two blunders resulted in the opening goal. A turnover gave the ball to Jonathan David, who sent it wide to Jacob Shaffelburg. The 'Maritime Messi' blasted with his left foot into the far right corner, beyond goalkeeper Patrick Schulte. 23 - Canada defeats the United States Men's National Team on American territory for the second time, and the first since 1957. The victory stops the USMNT's 23-game home unbeaten streak against Canada, the longest against any opponent in team h...
