His desire to leave PSG has been heightened by being left out of the squad for the opening game of the season by manager Luis Enrique.
Although alternative targets like Sander Berge and Youssouf Fofana were explored, United are now focused on wrapping up the Ugarte deal.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Ugarte's preference is a move to Old Trafford, and a loan deal with an obligation to buy clause was also considered to navigate the high asking price. However, a straight £51million transfer is now the likely outcome.
Final details are being finalized, and all parties are confident of sealing the deal before the transfer window closes.
