Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte is often one of the first to leave Carrington after training

Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte is often one of the first players to leave the club’s training complex after training, according to the Sun.

The Red Devils man has struggled for regular game time this term, and last started a Premier League game in January.

Ugarte has been linked with a move away from Man United ahead of the summer transfer window, and it appears he cannot wait to leave.

The 24-year-old is often back home as early as 12.15 pm after training sessions, with the Red Devils officially starting at 9. 00am.

Man United manager Michael Carrick has stuck with Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo as his two defensive midfielders, and Ugarte could find it hard to break into the starting line-up anytime soon.

The Uruguayan is not the only one struggling to make an impact for the Red Devils, with Bryan Mbeumo also suffering a dip in form in recent weeks.

The Cameroon international attacker has nine goals and three assists in 24 league games, but has scored just once in his last six games.

Mbeumo has weighed in with two assists in that time, but staff at his former club Brentford believed he found it hard to play two or three games per week.

He struggled in the 2-1 loss to Newcastle United, three days after the Crystal Palace game, and will be desperate to make an impact against Aston Villa on Sunday.

Mbeumo joined Man United on their pre-season tour of the United States, but he only played 45 minutes across their three fixtures.

The Red Devils used the majority of their training time in Chicago to improve his fitness levels, as Brentford returned for pre-season a week later.

Mbeumo also did not train in his week back with the Bees, as he did not want to jeopardise his move to Man United at the time.

While it has been almost eight months since he completed the move, it appears he has yet to get used to playing too many games at a stretch and will hope to make full use of the next pre-season.
