As a first impression, Ugarte had just witnessed the football version of a horror movie, as United lost 3-0 to Liverpool despite his anticipated arrival.
Manager Erik ten Hag warned it will take time for him to get the best from Ugarte because: 'I'm not Harry Potter.' This highlights the challenges ahead.
Despite Ugarte's potential, he's under huge pressure to solve United's long-standing midfield issues—a problem that has persisted since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement.
The club hopes Ugarte will finally be the solution to a crucial problem they've struggled with for over a decade, especially under Ten Hag's tactics.
