Manchester United signed Uruguay defensive midfielder Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain for an an initial 50 million euros ($55.7 million) on Friday, with the transfer announced only in the final hour of the summer transfer window.
Ugarte is United's fifth signing of the window - after striker Joshua Zirkzee, center backs Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt, and full back Noussair Mazraoui - and takes the club's summer spending on new players to around $240 million.
The 23-year-old Ugarte, who has signed a contract until 2029, has been a target of United throughout the summer and looks set to be the long-term replacement for Casemiro, who is 32.
The deal for Ugarte includes the potential for 10 million euros ($11 million) in bonuses, subject to performance and success.
Ugarte spent just one year at PSG after joining from Portuguese team Sporting.
