Manuel Ugarte’s Uruguay Debut Leaves Manchester United Fans in Awe – Can He Make an Instant Impact?
As Manchester United’s summer signing Manuel Ugarte gears up to make his debut for the Red Devils, a compilation of his impressive performance for Uruguay against Venezuela has gone viral, leaving fans excited about the prospect of him making an instant impact.
Ugarte joined Manchester United from Paris Saint-Germain in a deal worth £50.7 million, and while he wasn’t registered in time to face Liverpool, he could make his first appearance for his new side when the Red Devils resume their Premier League campaign on Saturday against Southampton.
The 23-year-old midfielder played the entire World Cup qualifier and showcased his attributes, impressing Manchester United supporters. He commanded a dominant figure from the middle of the park, demonstrating his range of passing and vision.
Fans are already calling for Ugarte to start against Southampton, with many believing he could be an upgrade on current options. One fan tweeted, "Time to start the business vs Southampton, anything else we have in his position is already worse whether he hasn’t adapted or not." Another added, "Debut against Southampton incoming."
Ugarte’s impressive display has also caught the attention of Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, who believes the midfielder needs time to build his fitness. "If you see Manuel Ugarte, he didn’t play so far in the season," he explained. "Not one match minute. So he needs to build his fitness and then we have to build him in the team and I’m sure he’ll be an important player."
While Ugarte has yet to play a game this campaign, he made 37 appearances across all competitions last season, and fans are eager to see him in action. Whether he’ll feature against Southampton remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – Manchester United fans are excited to see what he can bring to the team.
