Manchester United will have to face Liverpool without Manuel Ugarte

We approach the 2024/25 season’s first Big Game as Liverpool Visits Old Trafford on Sunday. Amid all the transfers and deadlines, Manchester United has bagged the PSG midfielder, Manuel Ugarte before the deadline day. However, the 23-year-old Uruguayan will not be able to feature against Liverpool this weekend.

Ugarte to miss out on the Big Home debut against Liverpool

Manchester United will complete the £42.3m midfielder’s signing on Friday, the deadline day. It is believed that the club did not approve the agreement before the clock struck twelve, despite the fact that the deadline to participate in this weekend’s matches was Friday at noon. As a result, Ugarte will not be able to feature against Liverpool.

The tides certainly look in Liverpool’s favour after a dominating home victory and United losing in the dying moments to Brighton last weekend. Moreover, The primary issue with Ugarte’s late registration is that United will have little midfield depth on Sunday with McTominay out and Mount hurt.
