Juventus Director to Scout United Midfielder During Algeria vs. Uruguay Friendly

Juventus representatives will be scouting midfielder Manuel Ugarte during Uruguay's friendly match against Algeria in Turin, according to "Gazzetta dello Sport."

According to Italian media, the Bianconeri have been interested in the 24-year-old since his time at Sporting Lisbon. Even after his moves to Paris Saint-Germain and then Manchester United, the Italian giants have consistently kept tabs on him. Juventus might attempt to sign Ugarte during the summer transfer window, especially if midfielder Teun Koopmeiners departs the club. Scouts from the Old Lady will have the opportunity to watch the Uruguayan international firsthand, as his national team will play a friendly against Algeria at their home stadium tomorrow evening. Juventus director Marco Ottolini is expected to attend the match and observe Ugarte.

The midfielder joined United in 2024 and has since made 68 appearances, scoring 2 goals for the Red Devils.
