“OH MY GOD…Manchester United just signed a demon in that midfield. He is far better than Ngolo Kante and might be the best defensive midfielder in the Premier League soon”-FANS SHOCKED as Video Compilation of Manuel Ugarte’s performance on Uruguay duty goes viral ahead of Man Utd debut
A recent compilation of Manuel Ugarte’s stellar performance for Uruguay in their World Cup qualifier against Venezuela has quickly gained traction online, heightening excitement as he inches closer to his highly anticipated debut for Manchester United.
Ugarte was signed by Manchester United during the summer transfer window from Paris Saint-Germain in a deal worth £50.7 million. Unfortunately, he wasn’t registered in time to participate in United’s 3-0 loss to Liverpool. Now, with the Premier League soon to kick off again, supporters are eagerly awaiting Ugarte’s first appearance, particularly in the upcoming match against Southampton.
During Uruguay’s recent game, Ugarte played the entire 90 minutes, delivering a commanding performance that highlighted his considerable talent. His skillful display, especially his wide range of passing, captured the attention of Manchester United fans, many of whom are calling for him to feature prominently in the lineup at St Mary’s Stadium. His control in the midfield, his ability to dictate the pace of the game, and his sharp distribution are among the traits that have made him a focal point of discussion among supporters.
On social media, the buzz around Ugarte’s performance continues to build. One fan on X (formerly known as Twitter) stated, “It’s time to get him in action against Southampton. Anything else we have in his position is already below par, adapted or not.” Another fan echoed similar sentiments, noting, “People don’t appreciate how good he is with the ball. If he can consistently find a teammate, he’s already a step up from what we have.” Other comments expressed growing excitement, with some fans predicting, “Debut against Southampton is on the way,” and another adding, “His passing is what stands out to me the most—truly incredible.”
Despite the rising expectations, United manager Erik ten Hag has taken a more cautious approach regarding Ugarte’s debut. Ten Hag indicated that the midfielder may require additional time to regain match fitness. “Manuel Ugarte hasn’t played any competitive minutes so far this season,” Ten Hag said in a recent interview. “He needs to work on his fitness first and then get integrated into the team. I have no doubt that he’ll be an important player for us, but it may take a few weeks, perhaps even months.”
Ugarte, who featured in 37 matches for PSG during the previous season, is yet to make his debut this campaign. It remains unclear whether he will be included in the squad for the Southampton match, but one thing is certain—anticipation surrounding his Manchester United debut is reaching fever pitch. Fans are eager to see how the young midfielder can bolster the team’s midfield and potentially transform their fortunes as the season progresses.
