Rumours are swirling around Manuel Ugarte, with Crystal Palace reportedly showing interest in the midfielder currently plying his trade at Man Utd. With both teams looking to strengthen their squads, the move could have a massive impact on their seasons going forward. Until a fee and conditions are finalised, the deal remains vulnerable to disruption - especially if Milan, Newcastle and Juventus decide to make a formal offer of their own in the coming days. Crystal Palace are only scoring 1.06 goals per game (38 in 36) this season, which suggests they need more creativity in the middle. Manuel Ugarte would be seen as the link to raise the tempo and feed the attack. Alongside this, Man Utd are said to be exploring William Gomes Carvalho Santos, Ibrahima Konate and Moussa Diaby with Crystal Palace likewise connected to Yan Diomande, Othmane Maamma and Ladislav Krejci.
