Manuel Ugarte: Reason for absence vs Sunderland revealed Manchester United made wholesale changes and were quite lucky to escape the Stadium of Light with a point on Saturday. Sunderland were, by far, the better team and were kept at bay by Senne Lammens single-handedly at times. Fringe stars like Mason Mount and Joshua Zirkzee disappointed while Amad’s downward spiral continued .
Michael Carrick made a couple of surprising calls, none more so than playing Mount alongside Kobbie Mainoo, while both Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte missed out. Manuel Ugarte injury fear As revealed by the caretaker head coach to MUTV , the Brazilian’s issue is not too serious, while the Uruguayan picked up a back injury during training. “Case, he’ll be fine for next week, it’s nothing major.
Manu had a problem with his back in training, so that’s the issues ironed out. ” With Carrick open to handing minutes to underutilised stars, this was the perfect opportunity for the 25-year-old to try and impress. But his injury comes at the worst possible time.
Whether the Uruguayan’s injury is a serious one remains to be seen. He has started only once under Carrick, the 1-2 defeat to Leeds. The former Paris Saint-Germain ace has been one of the most disappointing signings in recent history, and INEOS are looking to offload him amid interest from Turkiye, Italy, and the Netherlands.
