No he's not a Casemiro as he's not as good passing forward. He's more of a Kante or possibly even more like a Mascherano. The issue at PSG was that Luis Enrique has played with DM's the like of Rodri and Busquets and Ugarte isn't like them.

Except Casemiro is much better going forward & creating a threats in the attack, but Ugarte makes up for that by being ten times as mobile & his clean-up ability is much better. I can actually see a Casemiro-Ugarte pairing at times work, Casemiro for some reason has been playing a lot more as an 8 than a DM, often leaving his position open but at the same time creating really dangerous chances.

But as we’ve seen at Utd (and he did this at Madrid), Casemiro is a good passer of the ball - he’s a tank, ate up endless ground in his prime, but he’s always been good on the ball too. Not a Busquets or Rodri, but very capable (he’s got a season or two in him left too, but I think we’ll see him played further forward like against Fulham) Ugarte looks better at avoiding the press (I’ve seen as many clips of him doing this well, but he need to improve his consistency here) better dribbling in tight spaces, but less of passing range than Casemiro…….space to develop though. Exactly what we need imo

Due to Mainoo's lack of pitch coverage for now, I reckon Mainoo will be our first phase player and also our sitter in a high press. Also, due to Mainoo's press resistant and pass vision, I suspect he would develop into a Regista or DLP with two attcking 8s infront of him. Ac Milanesque with Pirlo(Mainoo), Gattusso(Ugarte), Seedhorf(Bruno), Kaka(Zirkzee). Chelsea did same with Kovacic(Mainoo), Kante(Ugarte), Mount(Bruno)
@@Romewithme23 i agree. AND he's way better as an 8 imo. good awarness, close control, good dribbling. and he's not the fastest and can gas out after 65+ mins so playing as the 8 allows him to conserve his energy
Mainoo seems to be a lot more in the mound of a Zidane, de Jong or even Pogba. He carries the ball so well & is incredible at retaining it, but his passing ability isn’t all the best just yet. He’s a player that is confident on the ball & understand how to create space on his own, take it from one half to the other. I don’t really see a regista in him at all.
At the end of the day, it's all about passing patterns at the back. Ten hag has coached Edson Alvarez and now Casemiro, 6s with poor technical abilities and he has made it work. From what I learned has well from watching United, Ten hag is not really that interested at playing at the back as people seem to think. He wants quick passes straight to the mid 3rd/forwards, hence chaos. I think Ugarte thrives in those scenarios.

Damn this honest review hit hard man ugarte suddenly look like fred P.S. dont just look at player through goals tackles skills assist compilation only 🤣 better dont get scam 🤣🤣
The “concerning” passage of play around 6:08, you’ve missed out the most obvious, which is for the player who passed him the ball to run forward for the one two and beat both players pressing the ball. He actually chooses the best option but his defender isn’t on the same wavelength and bizarrely, retreats after playing the pass rather than moving forward to help beat the press. Ugarte expected his team mate to make a run but he instead retreated. Now maybe he should have seen that the defender wasn’t making the obvious run and changed his mind but clearly he didn’t. Not totally on ugarte there though
The second one. Neither of the options you present are really on. His team mate has again completely done him and given him the ball in a position he has no options from. The third one is just a straight up mistake by ugarte. No defending that really, but given his pass completion stats are extremely high I’m guessing that type of error is extremely rare for him to make
If Manchester United secure both Manuel Ugarte and Adrien Rabiot (as a free agent), their midfield will be set for the next few seasons. Many neutral fans underestimate the depth and strength of this United squad, but with ETH at the helm, they’ll hopefully prove the doubters wrong. The midfield options would then include: CAM - Bruno Fernandes, Mason Mount, and Christian Eriksen; CM - Kobbie Mainoo, Rabiot, and Toby Collyer; CDM - Ugarte, Casemiro, and Sekou Kone.
@@chriswood753 I hear it mate.. My biggest concern with Rabiot is his mom, she’s his agent and she’s apparently bery difficult to negotiate with and apparently causes problems if her son isn’t get picked on a regular basis. As for his salary, surely we can negotiate a reasonable wage like £150K per week?
Don't think the press resistant issues are as big as your making out, he was considered a very press resistant player at sporting (under amorin in a double pivot) and has a very high pass completion rate. He'll keep the all circulating, dont think thats an issue. The issues come from his OOP inconcistency, weak upper body, no use of a stiff arm, and tackles like hes declan rice without the flexibility. high variance player, needs to improve that.
Negativity !!!! I'm sure anybody could find clips of every football player making mistakes !!! No player is perfect. Ugarte is exactly what United need.
Man didn't watch the entire video 🙄. This is what scouts do you have critique every single thing and then acknowledge the positives to ensure you are not missing or overlooking a major flaw.
All fair points. I think he suits United better than any other team which is good for us, i do foresee some frustrations but in general i think he'll be a great signing
People forgetting Man U finished mid table and no champs league football. Not an enticing club for a top player. We have to survive off scraps and hope we can shape these underperforming signings into a team
If you analysis the situations you have looked at he is clearly being tucked up by his teammates... there positioning is all over the place... we know he isn't an elite passer... he's a ball winner... then needs a player to show for him... and nobody is... teammates failing him not the other way around...
Chelsea were close to signing him before he went to PSG. I thought he looked a good player but most of the PSG accounts have left the impression that we dodged a bullet. I would be concerned about his press-proof[ness] under the pressure of playing in that UTD side
With respect. I personally disagree with your analysis of the first clip. It didn’t work out for him but that is more than a winnable challenge and a tackle he has to make high up the pitch. If that challenge is successful that’s a turnover of possession on a strong attacking position high up the pitch
You're kinda right. It's a 50/50. Ultimately, I think to make such a decision both in going for the tackle or not,that Comes with experience and elite judgement which I don't think he has enough of just yet.
The difference with Ugarte at United is we now have De Ligt and Martinez behind him who pass as good as midfielders and won't give him danger passes. Dalot, Shaw and Mazraoui are good passers at fullback. So in the defensive areas, he can now keep it simple and not try complicated passes and now work on his positioning and tackling.
I don't think he rivals casemiro in aerial play; he just has more legs Casemiro is a way better header of the ball and position reader Ppl say he replaces casemiro; i say he can also replace mainoo Especially when we want to eat up opposition midfield like city and arsenal
I think Ugarte fits the midfield well, Bruno and Mainoo will make a good trio. I think Martinez and De Ligt will help Ugarte with their passing ability
I think you can compare him with Edson Alvarez, an agressive tackler and at the beginning at Ajax lacked technical ability and awareness on the cdm position. Originally he is a CB, so that was not suprising. However, ETH managed to develop his awareness and using his aggr in the right way, so that the creative midfielders could always rely on him in case of losing possession. I can see the same thing happening with Ugarte, would be a huge contribution for the pressing game.
i think mats weiffer/onana would've been perfect for us but i like ugarte as a loan signing and hopefully we go all in for wharton next summer + another physical 6
@@jriggz we need a our fabinho our kante our gattuso That's what we need. United won't play like other teams. We are different. Weiffer and onana was available, Liverpool didn't buy him. Different teams need different profile. The closest team to us based on style His kloppp Liverpool Hendo Gini and Wini No controllers or deep line playmaker among them
Problem with Ugarte at PSG was that Luis Enrique has played with holding midfielders the likes of Rodri and Busquets. Ugarte isn't like that. He's more of a Mascherano. He definitely is a good buy for United.
This is all entertainment...don't take whatever he says seriously he's not a genius...he's just another football fan that thinks he knows what he's yapping about
@@ethangomes336 Yes I’m aware. However I keep hearing contradictory things about it being a standard loan and then United preferring to pay upfront. Whichever it is I just hope it’ll be a success.
Yh fair point, I see him more as a leader and figure that Ugarte xan look up to tho. I think there is so much to learn from Casemiro even out of his prime@@mrboast2826
Case isn’t playing like that at all anymore though, he’s often leaving his position to push forward & create danger (which he often does, tbf), leaving massive gaps in the midfield. Can’t play as a single pivot on a high press system because he often leaves the midfield weakened for counters.
The amount of money United are willing to spend on him is baffling. It does show, though, that EtH is not interested in possession play, but in his chaos ball. SMH
@@OserojiemenKingAnd you know what that means. Another long season of balls over the top to Rashford so he can run into defenders and recycle possession. And since he wants a transitional team according to him,then why tf did he buy Onana when we had De Gea who was perfect for such chaotic defensive set ups?
@@mrboast2826 Shows what you know, Ederson isn't a 6. Ugarte was brought in as a replacement for Casemiro, he was supposed to be sold but no one came in for him so we have both this season.
Actually Joao Neves nd Kobbie Mainoo are press resistant..they are calm with the ball at their feet even in a forest of opposing players.. the new younger United DM sekou kone has this quality which infact Ugarte lacks...
So you're telling me that he doesn't have positional awareness, makes rash decisions and cannot pass through the press? And THAT'S who man UTD have signed for defensive solidity? We're so cooked
Ugarte is a disaster in the making, far too reckless and the prem will expose him even more. I hope I’m proven wrong but I don’t like the cut of his jib, where jib means reckless abandon.
Imagine thinking you have better ball knowledge than Ashworth and the experts around him. If Utd want to sign Ugarte, then clearly the club thinks he is a valuable addition to the squad
@@Jason88215 imagine thinking everyone else knows better than you, must suck for you. No transfers have ever gone wrong, have they? Please don’t bother replying because I don’t value your gormless opinion and your lack of critical thinking.

He's a good player, but he's a signing that sets us back, he's not a cdm, united needs a cdm not another destroyer that won't improve our build up play, we need a cdm that can hold down the middle freeing up our other mids, berge stach Wharton amrabat sheaf are those kinda players, all we needed to do was sign one, we failed
No it’s not, it’s probably the best fit as a DM in the market. For a team that presses highly in the opponent’s box, you need someone that can cover the spaces left by the press in midfield & his clean-up ability is elite.
@@Jomiloju-xw6wghow is he not a CDM? That’s literally his position. He’s the best defensively out of all the DMs available. Comparing him to players that are hardly PL quality like Armabat & Sander Berge is insulting lol
@@paulolugo7447 amrabat wasn't given a chance, berge is far better than ugarte genius, how can he be barely pl quality when he's already pl proven with some of the best stats for a cdm,oh and a smart club like fulham got him intead and we spent 60 mil on a player that doesn't have half his quality in the first phase
Casemiro is going to be the cover for Kobbie, I’d say. We’ll see a lot of different combinations with Mount, Bruno, Case, Ugarte & Collyer. Scott’s best attributes didn’t even come from the midfield, on the contrary.
Ten Hag’s system isn’t possession based, it’s high pressing transition football. Press high, force mistakes & cut through the sides. Think Ugarte will do well because of that though, his main weakness is progressive passing & that’s not a defining factor of Ten Hag’s football.
I would have gone for Sander Berge (20M) plus Amrabat (10M) to add 2 CDMs instead of Ugarte. He is good but we need De Yong type number 6 to not only be defensive in the Midfield but also press resistance and carries the ball forward.
@@Qammar_GGMU sander berge isn't a top 6 quality dm. I don't even want de jong at man utd with his injury record. The player who perfectly fits this profile is zubimendi and he doesn't wanna leave his boyhood club. Amrabat as a rotation player I'm fine with
@@ethangomes336I disagree, sander berge has performed better than most top 6 cdms in the time he has been in the league, one of the best long passers in the league, understands his position perfectly, he was exactly what we needed but we still have to go after the names and let smart clubs like Fulham, snap up gems like berge
@@onielgordon1079 the "professional scouts" suggested berge that was why we were linked to him genius, he has been a popular prospect since he was at genk, he's not some new popular shiny thing. Also did you really ask why Liverpool didn't sign him, like big clubs are popular for signing gems, why didn't anyone sign haaland when he was at molde, why didn't big clubs sign mitoma when he was in the j league, what about Kim min jae who was playing in the Chinese league it's called a hidden gem for a reason
@@Jomiloju-xw6wghave you ever considered the team he played for? Pressure? The expectations? I'm not saying he'd flop... It's 50-50 But these players can do what they like in their small teams... Man Utd and other big teams is a whole different story. Once you wear the shirt, you have to deliver asap. Can he even thrive under pressure? We don't know. NB: I'm not a fan of Ugarte either.
You could make exactly the same type of video about Rodri who in those situations highlighted early on is really bad also unless he has a really simple pass (watch 1st half of CL final against Inter as a prime example). In fact every player in history could have a video like this made about them where they have played a poor pass on many many occasions. You also have to remember the 1st clip with the tackle, that is the way PSG play....that's tactical not a player decision. This is why they will never win the CL unless they get an elite coach tactically. They are so naive because they can get away with that in Ligue 1 and think they can play the same way in the CL. To add to that, PSG don't play a consistent midfield or defence so they cannot build up those understandings between players. To finish on that clip as well, if he doesn't go for that tackle which he was unlucky to lose that way btw, the player receives the ball in acres of space and can then pick that pass out to the player on the right easily anyway. Finally, Utd have Onana in goal who is press resistant. It was telling in those clips how reluctant the players were to give the ball to the GK and how deep they all were. That was crying out for someone facing fowards to just go long. Again, very naive playing out from that position. Having Onana means we play out from much further outside our box. Not a worry.
Comparing Ugarte to Rodri when playing out from the back is crazy. This is Ugarte playing under Enrique. You know the treble winning manager at Barcelona who made MSN work. And the Uruguay clips would be under Bielsa.If he is this bad under one of the best ball progression coaches how bad will he look under a coach who doesn’t want to use him seeing as Ten Hag progresses through the wings.
As a United fan, I don’t know how Ashworth thinks this will be a good signing. It makes sense if he was 20 or 30 million but 50 million for a player that flopped in an easier league with obvious deficiencies and a massive risk of flopping bc of the nature of the prem doesn’t make sense at all.
They are have done the research with much better resources while you have listened to a few TH-camrs give an opinion. Just saying maybe they're better informed about what he brings and where he needs to develop and our abilities as a club to develop him than you are.
Imagine thinking you have better ball knowledge than Ashworth and the experts around him. If Utd are looking to sign Ugarte, then clearly the club thinks he is a valuable addition to the squad
Just didn't flop though in ligue 1 and Portuguese league he is first for most tackles made but he's elite at everything apart from shooting and heading so just stop man
@@SuperHarl007then I guess according to you every transfer should be a home run since actual professionals are involved? Tf kinda logic is that? No one is saying Ugarte sucks or will suck, but he does have some deficiencies that are worth noting.
You can find a few clips of anyone making mistakes and it's really funny how you cherry picked them to fit your narrative but for every clip you have I can double it with loads of clips of him back at Sporting playing out of the press so sorry your false narrative is crazzzyyyyy bc nobody is perfect....esp not in the central defensive midfield position....he will have an actual ball playing GK at United to pass back to that can actually play with their feet...unlike the Uruguayan GK and not to mention that he has nobody on that team that will partner him like Kobbie bc not only is Kobbie excellent at going forward but he is also extremely gifted in breaking up play with the press himself and you throw him next to Ugarte...the man Bielsa said played like he had 6 lungs....Ugarte is EXACTLY what United have been crying out for since Carrick...bc Casemiro was good his first season but even that season he wasn't quick and we were broke on quite a bit that first year too but the only difference was we had our stable back four for most of that season playing together and they bailed us out quite a few different times 💯....rivals are soooooo scared right now....and they should be!!! UTFR!!! 21 IS COMING!!!! 💪🏼
People at United will love it. It will be Herrera 2.0. But they still won't get any closer to the league. United settle for mediocrity so long as the individual "Puts a shift in"
Considering you’re a Statshead sponsor, it was dissapointing not to see you utilise the site for him. Ugarte is the ONLY midfielder in the world to match Casemiro for over 4 dribblers challenged and 2 tackles per 90. This means he’s already adept with the physical challenge of an EtH midfielder in being isolated and facing waves of attackers coming his way. Ugarte also is the number one u25 lateral passer in the world. Good video, but more stats would’ve been better!
Ugarte would be a bad signing for Liverpool? Are you drunk? He would suit them a treat. Tenacious ball winner, engine for pressing, plays it simple while still being able to smash a diagonal and drives into space with the ball. Is he the best in his position? No, but he's solid at 22/23 and will suit United great. Any transfer can flop, but as player profiles go he is the perfect fit.

Rabiot wants big wages, he's 29 years-old. Rabiot will not happen, ETH likes Toby Collyer.
Rabiot doesn't fit the club model.
@@chriswood753 I hear it mate.. My biggest concern with Rabiot is his mom, she’s his agent and she’s apparently bery difficult to negotiate with and apparently causes problems if her son isn’t get picked on a regular basis.
As for his salary, surely we can negotiate a reasonable wage like £150K per week?
@@SuperHarl007 how so?
Don't think the press resistant issues are as big as your making out, he was considered a very press resistant player at sporting (under amorin in a double pivot) and has a very high pass completion rate. He'll keep the all circulating, dont think thats an issue.
The issues come from his OOP inconcistency, weak upper body, no use of a stiff arm, and tackles like hes declan rice without the flexibility. high variance player, needs to improve that.
Great to see both sides of the player
Negativity !!!! I'm sure anybody could find clips of every football player making mistakes !!! No player is perfect. Ugarte is exactly what United need.
Tell them right mate 😂😂😂
Swrs like he misplaced a pass or jumped into a tackle even the best players have done it. Lets allow him and the manager show us what he's about.
@@chriswood753 who was negative?
Man didn't watch the entire video 🙄. This is what scouts do you have critique every single thing and then acknowledge the positives to ensure you are not missing or overlooking a major flaw.
Exactly, Paul Scholes once misplaced a pass.
All fair points. I think he suits United better than any other team which is good for us, i do foresee some frustrations but in general i think he'll be a great signing
It's frustrating that we are paying PSG the exact money they need for Joao Nevez. So they are basically getting and younger, better DM/CM for free
You have no idea about a deal that hasn't happened yet. Just felt I should remind you.
They did not pay €60m for Joao Neves mate, go back n do your research. Y'all jus love to talk. Smh
Joao Neves cost €70m and higher salary. In addition to that, he told Man Utd that he prioritize signing for PSG when INEOS spoke to his agent
Exactly what I been saying. We are helping PSG recoup money for Neves to buy a player they never wanted to keep this season.
People forgetting Man U finished mid table and no champs league football. Not an enticing club for a top player. We have to survive off scraps and hope we can shape these underperforming signings into a team
If you analysis the situations you have looked at he is clearly being tucked up by his teammates... there positioning is all over the place... we know he isn't an elite passer... he's a ball winner... then needs a player to show for him... and nobody is... teammates failing him not the other way around...
I love your analysis
Very balanced analysis. Thank you.
Chelsea were close to signing him before he went to PSG. I thought he looked a good player but most of the PSG accounts have left the impression that we dodged a bullet. I would be concerned about his press-proof[ness] under the pressure of playing in that UTD side
With respect. I personally disagree with your analysis of the first clip. It didn’t work out for him but that is more than a winnable challenge and a tackle he has to make high up the pitch. If that challenge is successful that’s a turnover of possession on a strong attacking position high up the pitch
You're kinda right. It's a 50/50. Ultimately, I think to make such a decision both in going for the tackle or not,that Comes with experience and elite judgement which I don't think he has enough of just yet.
how does he not get copyrighted for analysis. there is a reason most channels dont show it
I needed to see this
The difference with Ugarte at United is we now have De Ligt and Martinez behind him who pass as good as midfielders and won't give him danger passes. Dalot, Shaw and Mazraoui are good passers at fullback. So in the defensive areas, he can now keep it simple and not try complicated passes and now work on his positioning and tackling.
I don't think he rivals casemiro in aerial play; he just has more legs
Casemiro is a way better header of the ball and position reader
Ppl say he replaces casemiro; i say he can also replace mainoo
Especially when we want to eat up opposition midfield like city and arsenal
If they can somehow shift Ugarte into a more defensive box-to-box midfielder he can be like Ander Herrera on roids with the tenacity of Casemiro
Pin pointing bad moments when his stats show different thats one game u picked from he's an elite signing and will compliment mainoo and bruno
He showed both negative and positive poins, his biggest flaws are technique and press resist.
I think Ugarte fits the midfield well, Bruno and Mainoo will make a good trio. I think Martinez and De Ligt will help Ugarte with their passing ability
I think you can compare him with Edson Alvarez, an agressive tackler and at the beginning at Ajax lacked technical ability and awareness on the cdm position. Originally he is a CB, so that was not suprising. However, ETH managed to develop his awareness and using his aggr in the right way, so that the creative midfielders could always rely on him in case of losing possession. I can see the same thing happening with Ugarte, would be a huge contribution for the pressing game.
Ugarte defensive volume have got no peers in the modern game
9 minutes to discuss weakness and just 5 minutes for strength! We arr fucked. Might as well just stick with Casemiro
Ugarte is interesting from an on the ball perspective. Going forwards on the ball he seems great but defensively on the ball he seems sloppy
There we land? Allcott oficial
its funny that liverpool and chelsea were close to signing him last summer until Psg came and snatched him and now he's a united player
This man is a time traveler 🤯
i think mats weiffer/onana would've been perfect for us but i like ugarte as a loan signing and hopefully we go all in for wharton next summer + another physical 6
Your probelm
You don't know what united need.
@@loudmouthdiaries5188 what do we need then
@@jriggz we need a our fabinho our kante our gattuso
That's what we need.
United won't play like other teams.
We are different.
Weiffer and onana was available, Liverpool didn't buy him.
Different teams need different profile.
The closest team to us based on style
His kloppp Liverpool
Hendo Gini and Wini
No controllers or deep line playmaker among them
He's going to add much needed physicality and grit to the middle... will prove to be a great signing
What are the apps you are using for your analysis in this video?
Problem with Ugarte at PSG was that Luis Enrique has played with holding midfielders the likes of Rodri and Busquets. Ugarte isn't like that. He's more of a Mascherano. He definitely is a good buy for United.
Waiting on that review of Palace getting thumped under the start of the Reign of Lopetegui...COYI
I was never too keen on this signing due to the reasons James mentioned. Hopefully he’ll change my mind, otherwise I hope it’s only a loan signing.
Loan with an obligation to buy is basically buying now but paying 1 yr later
This is all entertainment...don't take whatever he says seriously he's not a genius...he's just another football fan that thinks he knows what he's yapping about
@@ethangomes336 Yes I’m aware. However I keep hearing contradictory things about it being a standard loan and then United preferring to pay upfront. Whichever it is I just hope it’ll be a success.
He'll do fine in a team which system isn't ball possession based,
What are you using for that tactical analysis
Having Casemiro, who was one of the best single pivots of all time, is also a massive advantage man utd should use
Can he play 20+ game plus though...Even Fabinho already gone from epl
Yh fair point, I see him more as a leader and figure that Ugarte xan look up to tho. I think there is so much to learn from Casemiro even out of his prime@@mrboast2826
Case isn’t playing like that at all anymore though, he’s often leaving his position to push forward & create danger (which he often does, tbf), leaving massive gaps in the midfield.
Can’t play as a single pivot on a high press system because he often leaves the midfield weakened for counters.
Looks very worrying if he does it a lot. Big teams will punish that. Great analysis. Does look like a young Casemiro.
don’t raise those question mate..just let him do the talking on the field!! We don’t know if we don’t see him play in PL.🤔😊
Ugarte is the best version of Amrabat, like a Pokémon evolution
I do think we have learned our lesson about not leaving our dm isolated and trying to cover too much ground
I remember him playing against Newcastle last year, he was hopeless under pressure
The amount of money United are willing to spend on him is baffling. It does show, though, that EtH is not interested in possession play, but in his chaos ball. SMH
@@OserojiemenKingmore like they chasing name rather then chasing player who suit them...I prefer Ederson from Atalanta though...
@@OserojiemenKingAnd you know what that means. Another long season of balls over the top to Rashford so he can run into defenders and recycle possession.
And since he wants a transitional team according to him,then why tf did he buy Onana when we had De Gea who was perfect for such chaotic defensive set ups?
@@mrboast2826 Shows what you know, Ederson isn't a 6. Ugarte was brought in as a replacement for Casemiro, he was supposed to be sold but no one came in for him so we have both this season.
There is no perfect player every player has its good side and negative side but in all it's on the team and coach to find a balance
Why did you say its official he goes to man utd? Not done yet
Calm down mun Jesus Christ😂😂😂
I think you need to be more updated
Basically he's a young casemiro
More kante
Actually Joao Neves nd Kobbie Mainoo are press resistant..they are calm with the ball at their feet even in a forest of opposing players.. the new younger United DM sekou kone has this quality which infact Ugarte lacks...
So you're telling me that he doesn't have positional awareness, makes rash decisions and cannot pass through the press? And THAT'S who man UTD have signed for defensive solidity? We're so cooked
We got ball playing back line already. Hes just needs to be a destroyer protecting the back line
He is a good strong midfielder imo
We don’t always play with a double pivot
Ugarte is a disaster in the making, far too reckless and the prem will expose him even more. I hope I’m proven wrong but I don’t like the cut of his jib, where jib means reckless abandon.
Imagine thinking you have better ball knowledge than Ashworth and the experts around him. If Utd want to sign Ugarte, then clearly the club thinks he is a valuable addition to the squad
@@Jason88215 imagine thinking everyone else knows better than you, must suck for you. No transfers have ever gone wrong, have they? Please don’t bother replying because I don’t value your gormless opinion and your lack of critical thinking. I just block/hide dummies that can’t contribute anything to a conversation anyway and guess who just made the list…
@@Jason88215Especially when this guy has probably never seen him play. I hate our fans
He could become a crowd favourite like Herrera was
It's Al about coaching..ugarte can go to man city and forget he was this bad .it's about coaching
United should go for Manu Koné or Ederson much better fits
Ugarte is the wrong signing for United. Simple as. I hope it works out though.
He's a good player, but he's a signing that sets us back, he's not a cdm, united needs a cdm not another destroyer that won't improve our build up play, we need a cdm that can hold down the middle freeing up our other mids, berge stach Wharton amrabat sheaf are those kinda players, all we needed to do was sign one, we failed
No it’s not, it’s probably the best fit as a DM in the market. For a team that presses highly in the opponent’s box, you need someone that can cover the spaces left by the press in midfield & his clean-up ability is elite.
@@Jomiloju-xw6wghow is he not a CDM? That’s literally his position.
He’s the best defensively out of all the DMs available.
Comparing him to players that are hardly PL quality like Armabat & Sander Berge is insulting lol
@@Jomiloju-xw6wgMaybe the worst take ever
@@paulolugo7447 amrabat wasn't given a chance, berge is far better than ugarte genius, how can he be barely pl quality when he's already pl proven with some of the best stats for a cdm,oh and a smart club like fulham got him intead and we spent 60 mil on a player that doesn't have half his quality in the first phase
United is signing coverage for Casemiro but not Mainoo or Mctominay who is going to Napoli
Casemiro is going to be the cover for Kobbie, I’d say. We’ll see a lot of different combinations with Mount, Bruno, Case, Ugarte & Collyer.
Scott’s best attributes didn’t even come from the midfield, on the contrary.
That' s won't gonna happen. There is invert full back to cover the mis-position of Ugarte
Show this to Teng Hag
Ugarte will thrive at Manchester united cause Ten hag plays a diamond shaped midfield and possession based.
Ten Hag’s system isn’t possession based, it’s high pressing transition football.
Press high, force mistakes & cut through the sides. Think Ugarte will do well because of that though, his main weakness is progressive passing & that’s not a defining factor of Ten Hag’s football.
James has loads of videos of players United are linked to and may or may not sign🤣
'Makes poor decisions, leaves his teammates exposed'....sounds like everything EtH looks for in a player 😁
United have never developed any player they’ve signed, their track record is shocking. Signing a project is a stupid move
Still young. he will learn
Like Antony?
I would have gone for Sander Berge (20M) plus Amrabat (10M) to add 2 CDMs instead of Ugarte.
He is good but we need De Yong type number 6 to not only be defensive in the Midfield but also press resistance and carries the ball forward.
@@Qammar_GGMU sander berge isn't a top 6 quality dm. I don't even want de jong at man utd with his injury record. The player who perfectly fits this profile is zubimendi and he doesn't wanna leave his boyhood club. Amrabat as a rotation player I'm fine with
@@ethangomes336I disagree, sander berge has performed better than most top 6 cdms in the time he has been in the league, one of the best long passers in the league, understands his position perfectly, he was exactly what we needed but we still have to go after the names and let smart clubs like Fulham, snap up gems like berge
@@Jomiloju-xw6wgthen why didn't Liverpool try to get him? y'all loveto act like y'all know more tham professionals scouts. Smh
@@onielgordon1079 the "professional scouts" suggested berge that was why we were linked to him genius, he has been a popular prospect since he was at genk, he's not some new popular shiny thing. Also did you really ask why Liverpool didn't sign him, like big clubs are popular for signing gems, why didn't anyone sign haaland when he was at molde, why didn't big clubs sign mitoma when he was in the j league, what about Kim min jae who was playing in the Chinese league it's called a hidden gem for a reason
@@Jomiloju-xw6wghave you ever considered the team he played for? Pressure? The expectations?
I'm not saying he'd flop... It's 50-50
But these players can do what they like in their small teams... Man Utd and other big teams is a whole different story. Once you wear the shirt, you have to deliver asap. Can he even thrive under pressure? We don't know.
NB: I'm not a fan of Ugarte either.
Still wanna know how you thought united were signing that Turkish lb?
From his panicking nature on the ball it is likely Manchester United will not use him for build up
Maybe he’s better suited to play against Casemiro
Bro said he would be a bad signing for liverpool lmao 😂 you just need content to post sad
You could make exactly the same type of video about Rodri who in those situations highlighted early on is really bad also unless he has a really simple pass (watch 1st half of CL final against Inter as a prime example). In fact every player in history could have a video like this made about them where they have played a poor pass on many many occasions.
You also have to remember the 1st clip with the tackle, that is the way PSG play....that's tactical not a player decision. This is why they will never win the CL unless they get an elite coach tactically. They are so naive because they can get away with that in Ligue 1 and think they can play the same way in the CL. To add to that, PSG don't play a consistent midfield or defence so they cannot build up those understandings between players. To finish on that clip as well, if he doesn't go for that tackle which he was unlucky to lose that way btw, the player receives the ball in acres of space and can then pick that pass out to the player on the right easily anyway.
Finally, Utd have Onana in goal who is press resistant. It was telling in those clips how reluctant the players were to give the ball to the GK and how deep they all were. That was crying out for someone facing fowards to just go long. Again, very naive playing out from that position. Having Onana means we play out from much further outside our box. Not a worry.
Comparing Ugarte to Rodri when playing out from the back is crazy. This is Ugarte playing under Enrique. You know the treble winning manager at Barcelona who made MSN work. And the Uruguay clips would be under Bielsa.If he is this bad under one of the best ball progression coaches how bad will he look under a coach who doesn’t want to use him seeing as Ten Hag progresses through the wings.
Fact
Defensive as well is a problem for MU
Is it really concerning why PSG put him on bench till sold!
Every club does that. It's to avoid injury because if the player gets injured, they aren't getting sold.
As a United fan, I don’t know how Ashworth thinks this will be a good signing. It makes sense if he was 20 or 30 million but 50 million for a player that flopped in an easier league with obvious deficiencies and a massive risk of flopping bc of the nature of the prem doesn’t make sense at all.
They are have done the research with much better resources while you have listened to a few TH-camrs give an opinion. Just saying maybe they're better informed about what he brings and where he needs to develop and our abilities as a club to develop him than you are.
Imagine thinking you have better ball knowledge than Ashworth and the experts around him. If Utd are looking to sign Ugarte, then clearly the club thinks he is a valuable addition to the squad
Just didn't flop though in ligue 1 and Portuguese league he is first for most tackles made but he's elite at everything apart from shooting and heading so just stop man
@@SuperHarl007then I guess according to you every transfer should be a home run since actual professionals are involved? Tf kinda logic is that? No one is saying Ugarte sucks or will suck, but he does have some deficiencies that are worth noting.
Yes, but i dont see any press like Casemiro in him
Casemiro when press gives away the ball what game have you been watching?
Don't use him in the buid up
How the hell would he be bad for Liverpool? They need a destroyer badly
A bad signing for Liverpool? Have you seen their midfield?
The bin dippers are crying out for a number 6 he talks shit when he says he would be bad for them
Really bad, he doesn't suit Slot
@@VeryBoringMan2024 an energetic ball winning midfielder? He suits you more than United.
@@schematiks Slot require mf good on the ball, so he wanted zubimendi
You can find a few clips of anyone making mistakes and it's really funny how you cherry picked them to fit your narrative but for every clip you have I can double it with loads of clips of him back at Sporting playing out of the press so sorry your false narrative is crazzzyyyyy bc nobody is perfect....esp not in the central defensive midfield position....he will have an actual ball playing GK at United to pass back to that can actually play with their feet...unlike the Uruguayan GK and not to mention that he has nobody on that team that will partner him like Kobbie bc not only is Kobbie excellent at going forward but he is also extremely gifted in breaking up play with the press himself and you throw him next to Ugarte...the man Bielsa said played like he had 6 lungs....Ugarte is EXACTLY what United have been crying out for since Carrick...bc Casemiro was good his first season but even that season he wasn't quick and we were broke on quite a bit that first year too but the only difference was we had our stable back four for most of that season playing together and they bailed us out quite a few different times 💯....rivals are soooooo scared right now....and they should be!!! UTFR!!! 21 IS COMING!!!! 💪🏼
Can you do amrabat
Omar, Ashworth, Wilcox, and all of them can't find a CM for utd? rubbish. After Brighton game am convinced he's not the answer
People at United will love it. It will be Herrera 2.0. But they still won't get any closer to the league. United settle for mediocrity so long as the individual "Puts a shift in"
He's 23yrs he can learn
Like every other signing this transfer window for United, all of them rubbish
ETH will find a way...to MAKE AN ABSOLUTE MESS OF IT...
Him and Mainoo No height in the midfield,
knock knock knock hello? ugarte to manchester united
Considering you’re a Statshead sponsor, it was dissapointing not to see you utilise the site for him.
Ugarte is the ONLY midfielder in the world to match Casemiro for over 4 dribblers challenged and 2 tackles per 90.
This means he’s already adept with the physical challenge of an EtH midfielder in being isolated and facing waves of attackers coming his way.
Ugarte also is the number one u25 lateral passer in the world.
Good video, but more stats would’ve been better!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣ugarte did not play any game for psg this season mate you laying
cos the season just started and he wants a move to united?
he fits right in Manchester United because all the players in Manchester United make wrong decisions all the time
I don't thing will be impact.
Ugarte would be a bad signing for Liverpool? Are you drunk? He would suit them a treat. Tenacious ball winner, engine for pressing, plays it simple while still being able to smash a diagonal and drives into space with the ball. Is he the best in his position? No, but he's solid at 22/23 and will suit United great. Any transfer can flop, but as player profiles go he is the perfect fit.
He's a Man United player?
