Premier League
Manuel Ugarte seems to be reconsidering his decision to sign with Manchester United in the last summer transfer window. The Uruguayan midfielder, who joined the English club after his time at PSG, where he was not considered by Luis Enrique, is not living the experience he expected with Erik Ten Hag as the new coach. Despite the expectation of having an important role in the team, his participation has been much more limited than anticipated, causing frustration for the player.
So far, Ugarte has only played 256 minutes in five matches, a relatively low number for a €50 million signing who agreed to a contract until 2029. This ties him to the club for a long time but does not rule out a departure in the short term.
Ugarte is unhappy at Manchester United
The poor collective performance of Manchester United at the beginning of this season, currently fourteenth in the Premier League table, has further complicated his adaptation, coupled with doubts about his role within the team. Competing for the midfield position with players like Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, and Kobbie Mainoo, Ugarte has not managed to establish himself as an undisputed starter.
Being a substitute in the recent match against Aston Villa, where the Dutch coach's tenure at Old Trafford was at stake, suggests that Ten Hag does not fully trust the Uruguayan, who does not want to be a mere backup player again. This has increased Ugarte's dissatisfaction, leading him to reconsider his future if he does not see significant changes in his situation within the team in the short term. For a player who arrived with high expectations, the reality at Manchester United is far from what he had envisioned.
