Manuel Ugarte’s standout performance for Uruguay against Venezuela has generated a lot of buzz, especially with Manchester United fans eagerly awaiting his potential debut. Ugarte, who joined United from Paris Saint-Germain for £50.7 million this summer, was not registered in time to participate in the team’s 3-0 loss to Liverpool. With the Premier League set to continue, supporters are keen to see him in action, particularly in the upcoming match against Southampton.
In Uruguay’s recent World Cup qualifier, Ugarte played the entire game, demonstrating his midfield prowess and impressive passing ability. This has captured the attention of United fans, who are hopeful he will start in the next fixture. Enthusiastic fans on social media have expressed their belief that Ugarte could significantly enhance the team.
Despite this excitement, manager Erik ten Hag has suggested that Ugarte may require time to regain full fitness and adapt to the team. With Ugarte having not featured this season so far, his debut may be postponed as he works on his fitness. The anticipation for his inclusion in the squad for the Southampton game remains high, but his participation is still uncertain.
