Why Manuel Ugarte WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING for Manchester United

How Manuel UGARTE WILL FIX MANCHESTER UNITED - Ten Hag' BIG Plan 😱 Manchester United have signed Manuel Ugarte, a true tackling monster in the heart of the pitch! And if you really think this guy won't make the Red Devils stronger, you couldn't be more wrong! How United managed to pull off this transfer, what exactly will Ugarte bring to Erik ten Hag's football and how his arrival fits in with the team's grand rebuild under INEOS group owners - we'll answer all these questions in this video, so get ready! So, Manchester United have completed the signing of PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte in the final days of the transfer window, with the move of the Uruguayan having been a long time coming. Back in July, he agreed on personal terms with the Mancunians and was waiting for the clubs to reach an agreement. The Red Devils eventually paid a €50m fixed fee plus €10m add-ons for Ugarte and, as top insider Fabrizio Romano notes: “Ugarte will travel to Manchester as he ONLY wanted United... and United only wanted him”. Moreover, ahead of the official announcement, Manuel could not help but make a rather mysterious post in X. But, what mystery is there? It immediately became clear to everyone that the footballer was confirming his move to the English club! In Manchester, Ugarte is being talked about as one of the last details Erik ten Hag needed in his squad to compete for the Premier League title! To find out if this is the case, we have to analyze the best playing qualities and stats of the Uruguayan midfielder! Simply put, Manuel Ugarte is a defensive midfielder who is a master of defensive work. He perfectly combines his athleticism with intensity when it comes to the said aspect of the game. The main and strongest component of Ugarte's style of play comes from his relentlessness in duels. Ugarte does a good job at sensing 'a perfect opportunity' to regain possession and loves to stalk his opponents like he's hunting prey! If the opponents make mistakes when receiving the ball or do not scan the pitch well enough, Manuel does not hesitate to go against them using sliding tackles! You see, tackles and interceptions are his “breakfast”! In the 2023/24 campaign, while representing PSG, Ugarte outperformed all Top 7 League midfielders for defensive duels per 90 (12.36). In Ligue 1, he also had an average of 1.86 interceptions per 90 minutes and recorded 101 successful tackles (an average of 4.7 per 90). Moreover, if we start the calculation from the beginning of the 2022/23 season, then Ugarte emerges as the undisputed leader in the total number of tackles + interceptions across Europe (403)! These are quite telling figures! Such soldiers do not get lost in the Premier League, that's for sure! From a tactical point of view, Ugarte feels most comfortable in a double pivot position working next to a progressive passer. This makes it easier for Manuel to combine defensive functions with attacking ones. He is sometimes credited with taking the box-to-box role, but in fact, playing in the other half of the pitch is not the Uruguayan's strong side. Last season, Ugarte averaged 3.74 progressive passes and 0.7 key passes per 90 in Ligue 1 - well below the league average of 5.4 and 1.2. In other words, Manuel has room to grow in this regard. Nevertheless, he compensates for his lack of creativity with his diligence and desire to push forward to the end. His ball-carrying and progressive carries cannot yet be called elite, though Manuel is making progress in this direction. More importantly, Ugarte has a knack for keeping the ball in his feet under pressure. To elaborate, even when the guy is being actively pressed, the cool-headed Manuel doesn't let himself get robbed and is quick to break opponents' intentions by passing the ball to his teammates. When toughness is needed, he gives it all, but when prudence and caution in possession are the required qualities, you can be sure that Ugarte “will not lose his focus”! In the previous Ligue 1 season, Manuel's passing accuracy reached 91%, which confirms his calmness during the build-up and possession phases. Sure, Ugarte's talent for linking the defense with the midfield and attack is among the main reasons why Manchester United are recruiting him in the first place! However, as you might expect, Ugarte's specialty will always be “the dog work of defending in the middle of the park.” The toughness and enormous physical endurance offered by Manuel will secure the Red Devils in the midfield, with Erik ten Hag being able to rely less on 32-year-old Casemiro in the defensive midfield zone. Ugarte may not be as good at headers, especially compared to the stellar Brazillian, but he's definitely not inferior in any other quality! In a comparative infographic provided by Sky Sports, you can see how much Ugarte surpasses Casemiro in terms of average performance stats from last season.
