Amorim and Ugarte: What’s Next?…
When a new manager arrives, it’s like giving a chef a fridge full of ingredients and asking if he can finally make that soufflé rise! Ruben Amorim, appointed by Manchester United in November 2024, has been put in charge of a £50.75 million talent souffle, Manuel Ugarte. Despite some promising pre-season showings, like a dimmer switch stuck on low, Ugarte has struggled to shine in the Premier League. The enigmatic Uruguayan hasn’t yet unseated Casemiro, who demonstrates the agility of a sloth in a morning yoga class, but remains ahead in the pecking order.
With Casemiro aging like fine milk, his continued selection is as baffling as a cat choosing a cucumber over a canary. As the transfer window edges towards closing time, Amorim faces the challenge of turning Ugarte into the missing piece of United’s midfield puzzle. United has some decisions to make, and the clock is ticking louder than a woodpecker on a school bell. Who knows? Maybe Amorim has a plan as outrageous as playing trombones in training to whip his midfield into shape!
