Royal support news is set to make Manuel Ugarte’s debut at Southampton on Saturday, September 14, with the Red Devils looking to secure Erik ten Hag’s place.
Man Utd v Southampton: Ugarte makes his debut! Predicted Red Devils line-up
Uruguay midfielder Manuel Ugarte joined the club from Paris Saint-Germain during the summer transfer deadline for a fee of £50.5 million (approximately 2,373 million baht) but was not registered in time, missing the Red Devils’ 0-3 home defeat to Liverpool on September 1.
However, there is a high chance that Ugarte will make his debut in the game at St Mary’s, but it is not yet confirmed whether he will start or come off the bench. However, with the situation requiring an urgent win, Ten Hag may choose to use him as a starter to secure three points, because if he does not win, his future may be at risk.
If Ugarte does not start, the Red Army fans will wonder who the Dutch coach will choose to use in the defensive midfield position, as Casemiro looks to have little chance of playing after making a big mistake in the defeat to Liverpool, or will he decide to trust young starlet Toby Collier to play instead?
