“Manuel Ugarte will be a great player for United”
“I am convinced that Manuel (Ugarte) will be a great player for United. He had a very good performance yesterday (Saturday), and against Fenerbahçe. I think you have to be careful about jumping to conclusions early on with players who have only been there two or three months. He's a very good signing, he's a very good player, professional, he has very specific qualities in midfield when he inserts himself between the players and recovers the ball to put us in an attacking position. He is also very good on the ball, which means he will be a very good player for this club. He wants to succeed at this club and he is very motivated to do so”said Ruud van Nistelrooyinterim coach of Manchester United.
