Ugarte Criticizes Performance in United Draw

Manuel Ugarte has openly criticized his performance after Manchester United's disappointing 1-1 draw with FC Twente in their Europa League opener, admitting that he did not play well. The Uruguayan midfielder, who completed 90 minutes for the first time since joining from PSG, recorded just 59 successful passes out of 73. His self-reflection mirrored that of manager Erik ten Hag, who acknowledged the team's need for improvement, particularly in their attacking play. Ugarte emphasized the importance of hard work moving forward, expressing his commitment to the team's progress. The match left United with only three wins in their first eight matches, raising concerns over their performance under Ten Hag. Teammate Alejandro Garnacho offered support with a message on social media, encouraging Ugarte to stay resilient as they prepare for their upcoming match against Tottenham.
