Ugarte’s transfer was sealed on Friday, around 90 minutes before August’s transfer deadline passed, and less than 48 hours later he was being paraded in front of the fans at Old Trafford.
The 23-year-old will be involved for Uruguay during the upcoming international break but, before departing for South America, he sat down for his exclusive first interview in United colours.
During the chat, he explained what drew him to Manchester – a decision that involved a conversation with a compatriot who has only just left the club…
“First and foremost, its history, because we all know what a massive club United is - one of the best teams in the world,” said Ugarte.
