Manchester United’s brand new signing ‘is welcome addition’ to Red Devils side

Manchester United completed the signing of Manuel Ugarte during the summer transfer window, and he could be a great signing for the club according to reporter Iomie Stanley.

He told icfootballnews: ‘One of the primary reasons Ugarte is such a valuable addition to Manchester United is his defensive prowess. As a defensive midfielder, Ugarte excels in breaking up opposition attacks and providing cover for the backline. His ability to read the game, make crucial interceptions, and put in well-timed tackles will add a layer of protection to a Manchester United defense that has often been exposed in transition.

‘This tactical discipline is exactly what Erik Ten Hag seeks in a holding midfielder, as it allows the team to maintain balance, especially when the full-backs push forward.

‘Ugarte is renowned for his relentless work ethic and tenacity on the pitch. He is the type of player who never shies away from a challenge and is always willing to put in the hard yards for the team. This mentality is something that aligns perfectly with Ten Hag’s football philosophy, which emphasizes high-intensity pressing and a strong collective effort.

‘Ugarte’s energy and willingness to close down opponents will be crucial in helping United regain possession quickly and sustain pressure on the opposition.

‘Beyond his defensive attributes, Ugarte is also a proficient ball-player. He possesses good vision, passing range, and the composure to operate under pressure. These qualities enable him to link the defense with the attack seamlessly, often serving as the fulcrum through which United can transition from defense to offense. His ability to play progressive passes and maintain possession will be vital in implementing Ten Hag’s preferred style of play, which relies on building from the back and controlling the tempo of the game.

‘Despite being only 23 years old, Ugarte has already shown leadership qualities that belie his age. His maturity on the pitch and ability to stay calm under pressure are traits that will serve him well at a club of Manchester United’s stature. Ugarte’s winning mentality, honed at PSG, will be a welcome addition to a Manchester United  side that is striving to return to the top of English football.

‘His presence in the dressing room can help foster a culture of resilience and determination—key ingredients for a successful team.’
