Ruben Amorim remains dissatisfied with Manuel Ugarte and now, the former Sporting midfielder may have his days numbered at Old Trafford. The Uruguayan international has not convinced the coach and could be one of the departures from Manchester United in the winter transfer window.

This information is being reported by the British radio station talkSPORT, during this Wednesday, December 3rd. The player has only started twice in ten matches for the Red Devils this season – and has not even been used on four other occasions.

It’s worth remembering that, recently, Ruben Amorim had already pointed the finger at Ugarte. The former Lions coach recalled that “Manchester United is a different world from Sporting,” this after the defeat suffered at home to Everton, 1-0.

“You [journalists] have been here longer than I have, and you can sense that there are many good players who come here and, sometimes, they struggle. And he is struggling at the moment,” he began, when asked about the few minutes Manuel Ugarte has played.

“I have to recover what I used to feel when he was a Sporting player, for example, but it’s a different world, and he needs to adapt and needs to improve, especially in training,” added Ruben Amorim about the player.
