Manuel Ugarte Set To Get Man Utd Dream Shirt Number

Manchester United have completed a deal to sign midfielder Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain.

It was reported last week that United had reached an agreement on a deal worth an initial €50 million ($55.3 million) with another €10 million in potential add-ons

Uruguay international Ugarte has signed a five-year deal with the option to extend for a further year. He joins Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee as new signings at Old Trafford this summer.

“Signing Manuel was another of our primary targets for this summer,” Man United sporting director Dan Ashworth said in the club’s announcement. “He is among the very best ball-winning midfield players in the world and has an excellent record at both club and international level. His qualities, experience and passion will be a great complement to our strong group of midfielders.

“Manuel is a player we’ve watched closely, and we are excited to see the positive impact he will make on the pitch and in the dressing room as we continue to strive for success.”

Manuel Ugarte shirt number

United’s flurry of summer transfer business has limited the key numbers available to Ugarte should he join, with only double-digit shirts available.

In fact, the lowest number vacant right now is 13, which is usually taken by goalkeepers.

Other than that, Ugarte could also be handed 19, any number from 26 to 34, 38, 40, 42, 45 or anything from 47 upwards.
