There is no unanimity inside Old Trafford over whether Man Utd should pursue a deal for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte, according to David Ornstein.
The Red Devils are making progress in the transfer market with deals for Bologna forward Joshua Zirkzee and Bayern Munich centre-back Matthijs de Ligt thought to be close.
have ramped up their efforts to sign other players too after they finally completed a deal to bring Dan Ashworth to Old Trafford as their new sporting director from Newcastle.
and had an offer accepted for Lille s Leny Yoro as they look to bring in two centre-backs this summer.
There have also been rumours of interest in Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez and reports that Man Utd have made a bid for Uruguay international Ugarte.
and that it s up to PSG boss Luis Enrique to decide whether to allow the former Sporting Lisbon midfielder to leave or not.
But The Athletic journalist Ornstein insists those reports seem to be a little premature with figures inside Man Utd still divided on whether to sign Ugarte.
: I think it s a similar situation with Manuel Ugarte of Paris Saint-Germain. On the same night as Jarrad Branthwaite s improved offer, reports came out from France suggesting that an offer from Manchester United had come in for I think around £38million.

The checks I made suggested that again, this is perhaps a little bit premature, and that it s not guaranteed that United are going to go through with the Ugarte deal. I think there s other interest in him, and I don t think there is a unanimity inside Old Trafford to go for him, so it s going to take some more conversations.
I m not saying it won t happen and I m not saying there s no interest, because there is. But again, that one is not so advanced for the midfield position.
After Man Utd had a bid accepted for Lille defender Yoro, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Real Madrid who the Frenchman favours a move to are relaxed over the latest developments.
