From the first whistle, he controlled the pivot like a player possessed, snapping into tackles, pressing high, and offering constant passing angles under pressure. His clipped pass to Amad, even though ruled offside, was a glimpse of the confidence flowing through his game. This is the Ugarte I’ve backed from day one. The one people were too quick to label a flop. He just needed rhythm, a defined role, and a manager who trusts his game. I never understood why so many were writing him off. If you’ve been watching him at Sporting or PSG, the tools were always there. Now, under Amorim, with his role clarified and pace dialed up, we finally got to see it in full motion. Yeah, he still needs to influence more in the final third. But that weight of expectation is returning to a player who only joined months ago and has had almost no pre-season with the squad. A redemption season? Absolutely. If he builds on that yesterday’s display, Ugarte and Mainoo could be one of the finest pivots United have had in a long time. Long may it continue. The upgrade is here. ❤️✌️ #MUFC  XXXXXX engagements  **Related Topics** [midfielder](/topic/midfielder) [manchester united](/topic/manchester-united) [Post Link](https://x.com/Utd_Forever7/status/1949563186845295083)
