Manuel Ugarte is this month’s cover star – and he rose to the occasion with a fantastic performance against the Foxes, very much living up to the magazine’s billing as our ‘uncompromising Uruguayan enforcer’.
In a compelling interview premiered in full in the magazine (and later to be seen in its entirety on club channels), Manuel takes us through the footballing journey that has taken him to Old Trafford.
That Q&A spans his earliest days playing ‘baby futbol’ in Uruguay, his precocious beginnings as a professional in his home country (he made his debut at age 15), a rapid rise in the Portuguese game and success at Sporting Lisbon (under Ruben Amorim).
