Manuel Ugarte shares ‘upset’ comment as he reveals Man Utd squad’s opinion on Ruben Amorim

Manuel Ugarte, who previously thrived under Ruben Amorim’s guidance at Sporting CP, is set to reunite with his former coach when Amorim takes over at Manchester United later this month.The Uruguayan midfielder, signed by United from PSG this summer, has shown flashes of his talent but couldn’t prevent former boss Erik ten Hag’s departure. Now, Ugarte is looking forward to reuniting with Amorim, who helped mold him into the highly-valued player that once caught Chelsea’s eye.However, Ugarte understands the disappointment felt by Sporting fans at seeing their former two-time league-winning manager leave. He also acknowledges the heightened expectations at Manchester United, where Amorim’s ability to inspire and implement his tactics will be crucial.“I saw that Sporting fans were upset, which is understandable as he’s a great coach,” Ugarte said following United’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea. “It’s a positive for United. We need to capitalize on it and let him instill his ideas quickly.”Ugarte noted that his teammates are curious about Amorim, especially surprised by his relatively young age of 39. “They’ve asked a lot about him,” Ugarte added. “What struck them most was his age, but he’s very driven to win, which is vital. I think he’ll thrive here.”After a mixed start in Manchester, Ugarte hopes Amorim will trust in him again, recalling Amorim’s high praise back at Sporting, where the coach described him as “highly sought-after.” This anticipation builds excitement among United fans, who hope that Amorim can once again unlock Ugarte’s potential at Old Trafford.
