"That surprised me": Scholes changes his opinion on Ugarte after Liverpool match

The arrival of Ruben Amorim at Manchester United has yet to deliver consistent positive results for fans. However, the recent 2–2 draw against Liverpool gave supporters a reason to celebrate and prompted experts to reevaluate their opinions on certain players.

Details: In September, former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes expressed concerns about Manuel Ugarte's career trajectory, noting that the player had moved between several clubs by the age of 23. However, following Ugarte’s performance in the draw against Liverpool, Scholes praised the Uruguayan midfielder.

Quote: "Maybe he’s achieved more than I initially thought. Amorim mentioned that Ugarte showed great promise at Sporting, even as a young player, so he knows him well. This guy is really growing in confidence.

I thought he took some excellent positions, helped in defense, contributed in attack, and showed composure on the ball. I believe it should be him and one other player. Ugarte and another are more than capable of playing for this team.

And it’s not just about Ugarte’s legs... I also think his quality on the ball surprised me a bit because I’d only seen glimpses of him at PSG," Scholes told GIVEMESPORT.
