One Man United star told he got 'lucky' after bombshell Ineos decision which cost millions
manchestereveningnews.co.ukManuel Ugarte has been called "lucky" after Ruben Amorim replaced Erik ten Hag at Manchester United last month. The midfielder arrived at Old Trafford from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer for €50million (£42.3m), with a further €10m (£8.5m) in add-ons.
Ugarte signed a five-year deal and was hailed as a natural successor to the ageing Casemiro in defensive midfield. But the 23-year-old struggled for game time at M16 under previous united boss Ten Hag.
The Uruguay international did not play a full 90 minutes in the Premier League until Ten Hag's sacking in October which cost a total of £10.4m.
The Dutchman was replaced with Amorim, who worked with Ugarte at Sporting. Ugarte's rise came under the Portuguese, where he won a League Cup in 2022 before going on to join PSG.
