The situation at Manchester United is becoming worrying. After six days of the Premier League, the club has only collected 7 points (2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats).
But it was the last defeat at Old Trafford against Tottenham (3-0) which really ignited the powder, marking the second humiliation at home for the Red Devils this season after that suffered against Liverpool (3-0). If coach Erik Ten Hag now finds himself under pressure, certain players on the squad are also suffering the consequences of poor results. Among them, Manuel Ugarte.
“How can this guy be here?” »
Arriving this summer from Paris Saint-Germain for 50 million euros, the Uruguayan was supposed to provide reinforcement in the Mancunian midfield. However, his performances have not escaped criticism, notably that of Marco Van Basten. The Dutch football legend, a three-time Ballon d’Or winner, openly questioned Ten Hag’s recruitment choices, particularly the acquisition of the South American defensive midfielder.
“It’s crazy how much Erik Ten Hag has decided to invest in players who aren’t even good. I saw a new player transferred to Manchester, Manuel Ugarte, for €50m. How can this guy be here? »launched Van Basten for Ziggo Sports.
