The Manchester United Thread

Yeah you never know with signings tbh.

I have watched him a lot. He’s not gonna help you control games but he’s certainly gonna help a **** of a lot stopping us getting dominated and over run in CM.

Since his Sporting days in been up in the top 5 players across the top leagues in Europe. In regards to Tackles, Interceptions, Duels won, Ground covered. His passing stats are always around the high 80s/ low 90s % wise as he releases the ball quick after winning it back just as quick. Then passing it on quickly to the first available player. If there’s space in front of him he will certainly drive into before playing the simple pass.

Was thinking about him a lot in terms of who he reminds me of. Very much Mascherano like. Or you could say Palinha if you wanna look more recent times.

Issue with Mascherano comparison is that his best games were him playing as centreback. Palhinha is also strange, since Ugarte is quicker, mobile player who likes to defend high, and Palhinha likes to sit deeper, position himself and is much better in physical duels.
If anything, Ugarte reminds me of Kante, just not nearly as good.

He’s definitely got the ball winning ability along with Kante’s tenacity but one underrated part of (prime) Kante’s game was his ball carrying. He had a deceptively good burst of acceleration to get himself out of tight situations and take the ball in his stride. Ugarte certainly lacks this
 
He's nothing like Kante. He's the player Kante has always needed beside him in a double pivot to allow Kante to go hunt the ball all over the pitch with his great range. Mad how people still profile Kante so wrong and bracket him as a DM that he's never has been per se. He's a hunter. The likes of Ugarte and the Fulham lad that went to Munich are sitters that protect and are becoming less and less in the modern game.

Interesting that ten Hag, who pertains to want to play progressive football (even though Utd still have no identity under him), has chosen to go with one of them. He'll tighten up the backside but he's far from the controller/ line-breaker when teams sit deep. Interesting to see how he fits in as not many PL teams are playing with a player like this.

I know I said earlier in the window that United getting football people made this window different for me. However, if you somehow do the lose-lose swap of Sancho and Sterling then it will be more of the same and I owe Scouse an apology. In what universe is bringing in Sterling a good deal in any footballing sense. He's been found out since Pep got tired of him blazing the ball over the bar at the back post of KDB crosses. I wont even mention the wages and Jesus Sancho back in London is a recipe for disaster lmao.

Kante was a different beast, much better player. His positioning was unreal. And like you said, no slouch going forward as well.
 
Yeah Kante absolutely WC! But let’s not be thinking Ugarte is a bang average nobody. Hes still a top player and only 23 don’t forget
 
As of today. Still 3 days of the window left also.


McTominay €30M

Wan-Bissaka €17.6M

I’d like to think we’re only pretending to be interested in order to get Juventus to fork over some more cash.

Only possible good deal would be if we got him on a 1 year deal
 
yeah tbh I do t want Sterling. Could be a few reasons it’s out there. Put pressure on Juve for a better deal.

Could be some dodgy FfP/ FSP deals like all the other clubs were doing at the start of the window selling players to each other for silly money.

Or maybe they just want Sancho out the club.

Sad reality is atm he would most probably be our most productive winger in terms of numbers he would put up come the end of the season
