Ugarte injury blows up Manchester United’s midfield transfer plans
Manchester United's transfer strategy faces upheaval after Manuel Ugarte's injury at the World Cup.

Manchester United's midfield transfer strategy is in disarray following Uruguay midfielder Manuel Ugarte's knee injury sustained during the 2026 World Cup. This setback could jeopardize a £34 million deal for Atalanta's Ederson, forcing the club to reassess its options in the transfer market. Ugarte, who was expected to play a pivotal role in United's midfield under new manager Michael Carrick, will now miss crucial time as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
