Manuel Ugarte Prepared for Man Utd Experience with Help From Ex-PSG Standout

Manchester United’s summer signing, Manuel Ugarte, has faced some early adversity during the 2024-25 season. United secured Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain for a reported €50 million, with an additional €10 million in potential add-ons and a 10 percent sell-on clause.

Although Erik ten Hag was the manager who brought Ugarte to Old Trafford, the responsibility of unlocking the midfielder’s full potential now rests with new boss Rúben Amorim.

Ugarte previously thrived under Amorim’s leadership at Sporting CP from 2021 to 2023, a spell that helped him earn a move to PSG.
