Despite a double course in Spanish/Communication, I decided to take control of my dreams by heading into journalism. With a master’s degree in sports journalism, I cover sports and football news with as much admiration for transfer periods, when a club must make crucial choices for next season.
This summer, PSG decided to part ways with Manuel Ugarte, sold for €60 million (bonus included) to Manchester United. Much less visible in the second half of last season, the 23-year-old defensive midfielder is still struggling to show himself in his new colors, which inevitably worries the local press.
During the summer transfer window, the PSG achieved a very good sale. Arrived at Paris in 2023 from Sporting CP, Manuel Ugarte was finally sold a year later. Much further behind in the second part of last season in the eyes of Luis Enriquethe Uruguayan international finally committed to Manchester Unitedwho spent €60M to recruit him.
Manuel Ugarte left PSG this summer
While the Mancunian club once again had a very sluggish start to the season, Manuel Ugarte has not yet fully adapted to his new training. Holder facing Twente this Wednesday evening in the Europa League, the 23-year-old player did not put in a very good performance. The elder of PSG was quick to express his self-criticism on the social network Instagram : “I am the first to be self-critical. It wasn’t a great match, from a personal point of view. We must continue to work”wrote the latter. But by parting ways with a player who is clearly less prominent in the eyes of Luis Enrique this summer, the PSG undoubtedly made a very good sale…
“It may be weeks, or even months, before we see the best version of the former PSG player”
And clearly, the Manchester Evening News believes that it will take time before finding the best version of Manuel Ugarte. “Ugarte’s performance reminds us of the road that remains to be covered. Ten Hag is right that Ugarte needs time, and it may be weeks or even months before we see the best version of the former PSG player. United fans were hoping they had picked up a ready-made player to fix their midfield, but that was never the case. Ugarte could be a brilliant midfielder for United in the years to come, but the fact is it will take a lot more than just one signing to fix their midfield.wrote the local newspaper.
