Reds hail 'outstanding' Ugarte

The Uruguay international was everywhere on Merseyside, providing the midfield base for arguably United’s best performance at the home of our rivals in a decade.

Ugarte completed three of his four tackles during the match, which was more than any other player on the pitch.

The former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder was also decisive in possession, with only Amad bettering his 88 per cent pass-completion rate among our starters.

He helped create the last-gasp chance for Harry Maguire with a daring hooked pass while under pressure from four Liverpool players, and his showing in L4 received rave reviews from United icon Paul Scholes.
