Welcoming Liverpool in the third round of the Premier League, MU decided to give Manuel Ugarte a chance to make his debut for the home crowd. The Uruguayan rookie made a brilliant debut at Old Trafford with the 25 shirt that will stay in Manchester.

However, the “Red Devils” have not been able to include Ugarte in the squad. Coach Erik ten Hag had to continue to put his faith in the defensive midfielder duo Casemiro – Kobbie Mainoo in the starting lineup.

Casemiro had an extremely disappointing performance against “The Kop”. Right in the first half, the Brazilian star made 2 serious mistakes in losing the ball, leading to goals. Casemiro had to leave the field, giving way to 20-year-old talent Toby Collyer after only the first 45 minutes.

“Casemiro’s disastrous half”, TalkSPORT commented.

Fan Alex expressed: “The biggest plus point of the Ugarte deal is that Casemiro will be on the bench”.

Alice’s Abrahams was indignant: “I’ve seen enough of Casemiro. Ugarte must start the next match.”

Time will tell whether Ugarte is a successful signing for Man Utd. But at least he is young, athletic and ambitious. He is expected to bring steel to Man Utd in the context of Casemiro’s terrible decline. Ugarte is also the deal that MU has pursued the longest this summer.

In fact, although the 2024 summer transfer window in the foggy country has closed, MU can still say goodbye to Casemiro. The 24-year-old player can go to Saudi Arabia, where the summer transfer window lasts longer.
