Manuel Ugarte
25-Year-Old
Manchester United
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ugarte started in 22 of his 29 Premier League appearances in his first year with Manchester United, and he figures to be a regular for years to come as a key piece in Ruben Amorim's tactical scheme. However, Ugarte doesn't bring a lot to the table in fantasy. He recorded three goal contributions (one goal, two assists) in 2024/25 and averaged 2.65 tackles per game, but he didn't stand out in any other categories. Now with Matheus Cunha in the mix, Ugarte will likely be on the ball even less in attacking situations. No matter how many minutes he gets, his ceiling will be capped with most of his fantasy value coming from defensive stats.
On bench Sunday
Ugarte (back) is on the bench for Sunday's clash against Nottingham Forest.
ANALYSIS
Ugarte returned to the matchday squad after training with the team Wednesday, with the club confirming his availability ahead of the two final fixtures of the campaign following a back issue. The midfielder has started eight of his 22 Premier League appearances this season and figures to continue in his familiar rotational role, providing additional midfield options for coach Michael Carrick from the bench.
