Juventus eye Man Utd's Ugarte

Juventus are reportedly monitoring Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte during an international friendly at the Allianz Stadium, with the club considering a potential move.

Juventus are using the international friendly match between Algeria and Uruguay at the Allianz Stadium as a strategic scouting opportunity to observe Manuel Ugarte. The 23-year-old midfielder, who has made 23 appearances for Manchester United this season, has reportedly been a long-term target for the Italian club.

Described as a midfield "balancer," Ugarte could become a potential option for Juventus should Teun Koopmeiners leave. The club's interest in the Uruguayan international reflects their ongoing midfield restructuring plans, with transfer links depending on potential movement in their squad.
