Manchester United's newest recruit, Ugarte, couldn't hide his excitement and honor after officially becoming a member of the "Red Devils". In an interview with the club's media, he expressed his deep respect for being able to follow in the footsteps of legendary strikers such as Cavani and Diego Fran to join Manchester United. Ugarte said: "I feel incredibly honored to be able to play at a club that has a long history and brilliant achievements. Diego Fran and Cavani have both left their mark here, and they are role models for me to follow as great players."
As the fifth Uruguayan player signed in United's nearly 150-year history, Ugarte is aware of his mission and expectations. He singled out an exchange with recently departed fellow Uruguayan Pellistri (Facundo), who painted a picture of the stunning Old Trafford matchday atmosphere. "Facundo gave me a lot of invaluable advice and he told me how incredible the matchday atmosphere is here, with the kind of passion and fervor that I can't wait to experience for myself." Ugarte said with anticipation.
Although Ugarte missed the weekend's Premier League opener against Liverpool due to the registration process, he has made his official debut at the Theater of Dreams ahead of the game and felt the passion and support of the fans. Regarding his upcoming career at Manchester United, Ugarte is full of confidence and longing: "I'm ready and looking forward to contributing to Manchester United on the pitch. I believe that I will be able to continue to grow here and create more brilliant moments with the team."
