Manuel Ugarte: Major update on Manchester United starâs future
Manuel Ugarteâs spell at Manchester United is likely to come to an end this summer. The Uruguayan midfielder arrived at the Theatre of Dreams under former manager Erik ten Hagâs watch, but he never managed to cement his place in the starting XI.
The Red Devils signed Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) as a possible replacement for Casemiro in the summer of 2024, following an underwhelming campaign from the Brazilian. Unfortunately, the 25 year old endured a tough debut campaign, with the entire team struggling under the Dutch manager.
The Premier League giants opted to replace Ten Hag with Ruben Amorim in November that year, and one would have assumed that the Portuguese head coachâs arrival would have sprung Ugarte back into life. The two of them had previously worked together during time time at Sporting. However, the Uruguayan never looked convincing under Amorim, who ultimately ended his turbulent 14-month spell at the Theatre of Dreams in January this year.
United appointed Michael Carrick as caretaker manager until the end of the season, and the decision has already been vindicated. The Red Devils have won nine of their 13 games under the Englishman, and sit third in the league table after 33 games. Unfortunately, Ugarte has failed to strike a chord under Carrick as well.
Ugarteâs run under Carrick
Ugarte was sporadically involved under Ruben Amorim earlier this season, thanks to a resurgent Casemiro. With the Brazilian continuing his stunning form under Carrick, the Uruguayan has been a peripheral figure of late.
