The Uruguay international has been United's top midfield target this summer and they recently reached an agreement with Les Parisiens.

The 23-year-old was spotted travelling to Carrington last night and reports claim that he has successfully completed the medical tests.

United are likely to announce his arrival tomorrow ahead of Erik ten Hag's press conference for the Liverpool league game on Sunday.

Ugarte will be registered on time for the derby at Old Trafford and he could make his debut off the bench, having just joined the club.

United have had a poor start to the Premier League with just one win in two games and will be aiming to beat their arch-rivals on Sunday.

Casemiro has had a mixed start from the holding midfield role. It may not be long before Ugarte becomes the regular starter in the position.
