Tottenham Hotspur eyes a summer move for Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte, but a transfer to Turkey is more probable. Ugarte, 24, struggles for game time under new manager Michael Carrick, failing to start a match since his appointment. With Kobbie Mainoo's return limiting his opportunities, Ugarte is seriously weighing his future as he may join up to eight players leaving Old Trafford this summer.
Manchester United is open to letting Ugarte go, having signed him for £50 million from PSG. Tottenham, along with Aston Villa and Newcastle, tracks his situation closely. Spurs seek to strengthen their midfield, especially with Yves Bissouma expected to depart and uncertainty surrounding Joao Palhinha’s loan.
However, the real competition comes from Galatasaray, who are aggressively pursuing Ugarte after nearly signing him in January. Their interest remains strong, and they are set to renew their efforts ahead of the summer window. While Ugarte's agents explore other options, a move to Turkey is viewed as the most likely scenario, with Galatasaray well-positioned to finalize a deal in the coming months. Manchester United is prepared to facilitate this transfer.
