Dan Ashworth’s foresight in signing Manuel Ugarte is proving crucial for Manchester United’s midfield strength
Manchester: So, let’s talk about the recent match between Manchester United and Liverpool. It was a big deal, right? United managed to pull off a 2-2 draw at Anfield, and a lot of that credit goes to Manuel Ugarte.
After missing the previous game against Newcastle, Ugarte came back strong. He teamed up with Kobbie Mainoo in the midfield and really made a difference. This draw was a much-needed break from their losing streak.
Ugarte was everywhere on the pitch, tackling and clearing the ball like a pro. He even had an impressive passing accuracy of 88%. Not bad for a guy who just joined from PSG, huh?
While the goals from Lisandro Martinez and Amad might grab the headlines, Ugarte’s hard work was key to getting that point at Anfield. He’s been stepping up his game lately, and it showed.
Dan Ashworth, the former sporting director, had a good eye for talent when he brought Ugarte in. He called him one of the best midfield enforcers out there, and it looks like he was spot on.
Ugarte’s been a game-changer, especially since Erik ten Hag left. He’s racked up 21 tackles in his last five games, proving just how vital he is to the team.
Even though Ashworth’s time at United was short, he definitely made a smart move by signing Ugarte. It’s paying off big time!
