Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has expressed his satisfaction with Manuel Ugarte’s initial performance for the team. Ugarte, who recently joined the club, participated in only two training sessions before making his debut.
“We were happy we could bring him today and show what he could deliver to our team,” ten Hag stated. He further added, “He will be a great fit for us.”
Ugarte, a 22-year-old midfielder, has previously played for Sporting CP and is known for his robust defensive skills and ability to control the midfield. His integration into the squad has been closely monitored, with ten Hag previously discussing his fitness and readiness for the Premier League.
The manager’s comments come after a period of speculation and interest in Ugarte, highlighting the club’s strategic moves to strengthen their midfield options.
