Manuel Ugarte is the latest midfielder linked with a move to Man United and there are easy comparisons to Casemiro
Manchester United's hunt for a new defensive midfielder has continued to rumble on in the background despite the club pushing ahead with their pursuit for a new centre-back and striker.
Paris Saint-Germain star Manuel Ugarte is reportedly on United's radar, according to Sky Sports. The Uruguay international only joined the French giants last summer from Sporting CP after strong interest from Chelsea. According to FBRef, Ugarte ranks in the top 99th percentile for tackles per 90 minutes across Europe's top five divisions - Casemiro ranks in the top 98th percentile with 3.73. He also ranks in the top 96th percentile for interceptions per 90 minutes.
At 23, Ugarte has already developed into a fine holding midfielder. PSG are likely to demand close to, or more than, the figure they paid for his services 12 months ago.
