Manchester United’s Manuel Ugarte Takes the Meme Throne With Viral Compilation
September 26, 2024
Manchester United fans, get ready for the latest meme sensation taking over the internet – and it’s none other than the Red Devils’ new midfield sensation, Manuel Ugarte!
The Uruguayan midfielder made his second start for United in their 1-1 draw against FC Twente in the Europa League, but his performance has been leaving fans divided. While some praised his defensive skills, others were left underwhelmed by his overall display.
Ugarte took to Twitter to respond to the criticism, saying: "The first to criticise myself. It wasn’t a great game on a personal level. We have to keep working."
Well, it seems that Manchester United fans have already gotten to work, whipping up a hilarious compilation of Ugarte’s most memorable (and cringe-worthy) moments from the match!
The video shows the 23-year-old attempting a series of ambitious but misplaced passes, including a comical crossfield ball to Marcus Rashford that went awry. It’s not all bad news, though – Ugarte does show off his impressive tackling skills, and his aerial ability is on point (just ask the ball boys!).
But what’s had fans in stitches is his tendency to launch the ball out of play, whether it’s to prevent an FC Twente counter-attack or simply because he’s lost possession.
It’s safe to say that Ugarte’s been on the receiving end of a lot of good-natured teasing on social media, but we love his humility and willingness to laugh at himself.
