Manuel Ugarte News: Makes 22 starts in debut season

Ugarte appeared in 29 games (22 starts) for Manchester United in the Premier League, recording one goal, two assists, 77 tackles, 27 interceptions and 15 clearances. He also recorded one goal and four assists in 10 appearances (eight starts) in the UEFA Europa League.

Ugarte needed a bit of time to adjust to the pace and intensity of the Premier League, but he was a regular in midfield once he did, especially after the midseason arrival of Ruben Amorim, who was his previous head coach at Sporting CP, to the bench. Ugarte figures to remain a regular for Manchester United for years to come, though it's unclear who will patrol central midfield next to him. When it comes to his fantasy upside, he might bag the occasional goal contribution here and there, but he's far more likely to deliver value via defensive stats rather than attacking numbers.
