A compilation of Manuel Ugarte’s impressive performance for Uruguay against Venezuela has gone viral, sparking excitement ahead of his potential debut for Manchester United.
Ugarte joined Manchester United from Paris Saint-Germain in a £50.7 million transfer this summer. However, he wasn’t registered in time to feature in United’s 3-0 defeat to Liverpool. Now, with the Premier League set to resume, fans are eager to see the midfielder in action, especially in the upcoming clash against Southampton.
During Uruguay’s recent World Cup qualifier, Ugarte played the full 90 minutes, showcasing his skills and commanding presence in midfield. His strong display, including his impressive passing range, has caught the attention of United supporters who are now calling for him to start at St Mary’s Stadium.
One fan on X (formerly Twitter) wrote: “Time to start the business vs Southampton. Anything else we have in his position is already worse, whether he’s adapted or not.” Another added: “People underestimate his ability on the ball. If he can consistently find a red shirt, he’s already an upgrade.”
Others echoed the excitement: “Debut against Southampton incoming,” wrote one fan, while another commented, “Ugarte’s passing is what impresses me most. Incredible.”
Despite the enthusiasm, Erik ten Hag has suggested Ugarte may need time to build his fitness before making his debut. “Manuel Ugarte hasn’t played any minutes so far this season,” Ten Hag explained. “He needs to build his fitness and then integrate into the team. I’m sure he’ll be an important player, but it may take a few weeks, maybe even months.”
Ugarte, who made 37 appearances for PSG last season, has yet to play a match this campaign. Whether he will be included in the squad against Southampton remains to be seen, but anticipation continues to grow among United fans.
Manuel Ugarte’s potential debut for Manchester United is highly anticipated following his impressive performance for Uruguay against Venezuela. Although he wasn’t registered in time for United’s defeat to Liverpool, his £50.7 million transfer from PSG has generated significant excitement.
Ugarte’s recent display in Uruguay’s World Cup qualifier, where he played the full 90 minutes, has further fueled expectations. Fans are eager to see him feature in United’s upcoming match against Southampton, praising his passing range and midfield dominance. Comments on social media highlight the belief that he could be a key upgrade for the team.
However, Erik ten Hag has indicated that Ugarte may need some time to regain full fitness and integrate into the team. With Ugarte having not played this season yet, his debut might be delayed as he works on building match fitness. The anticipation remains high, and whether he will be included in the squad for the Southampton match is still uncertain.
