AC Milan could be in line to sign Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte, according to reports. Ugarte was signed by United for over €50 million but has struggled to find his footing in England. His former boss, Ruben Amorim, is now in charge at Milan and could look to reunite with his former player.

Amorim is known to favour signing players he has worked with before, and Ugarte could be a prime target. The Uruguayan midfielder has already been offered to Milan, although there are no current talks to bring him to the club. Amorim will have the option to consider Ugarte if he wishes to do so.

Ugarte's situation at United has been complicated, with little interest in his services so far. A move to Milan could be a fresh start for the 25-year-old, who has the potential to make an impact in Serie A. Amorim's tactics often favour a high-intensity pressing game, which could suit Ugarte's playing style.

It remains to be seen whether Milan will pursue a deal for Ugarte, but Amorim's connection to the player makes it a possibility. The Rossoneri are always on the lookout for talented players, and Ugarte could be a shrewd signing if Amorim believes he can make an impact.
