Manuel Ugarte
24-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.
Breaks-up play in win
Ugarte had six tackles (three won), three clearances and two interceptions in Friday's 1-0 victory over Newcastle United.
ANALYSIS
Ugarte led the Manchester United defensive effort Friday with six tackles (three won) as they earned a hard-fought 1-0 win over Newcastle United. The veteran holding mindfielder also made two interceptions and three clearances across his 90-minute shift, earning a clean sheet. Friday's inclusion in the starting XI marked the first time this season Ugarte has featured in successive league fixtures.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could leave Old Trafford
Ugarte could leave Manchester United on loan during January, according to CaughtOffside.
ANALYSIS
Galatasaray are keeping close tabs on Ugarte, and the Uruguay midfielder could leave Manchester United on loan in order to see more playing time. The Uruguay international is a backup for Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes, but since United are thin in terms of midfield depth, it's unclear if they'd allow Ugarte to move without signing a replacement first.
