Juventus eye Man Utd's Ugarte

Juventus are reportedly monitoring Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte during an international friendly at their Allianz Stadium.

According to reports, Juventus scouts will have a rare opportunity to observe Ugarte in action during the Algeria vs Uruguay friendly at their home venue. The 23-year-old midfielder, described as a "young, old Juventus target," could become an option if Teun Koopmeiners leaves the club.

Ugarte, who has made 23 appearances for Manchester United this season, is seen as a midfield "balancer" whose style aligns with Juventus' needs. However, his potential transfer would depend on the club's midfield movements, with interest also coming from Turkey.
