Manuel Ugarte
24-Year-Old
Manchester United
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ugarte started in 22 of his 29 Premier League appearances in his first year with Manchester United, and he figures to be a regular for years to come as a key piece in Ruben Amorim's tactical scheme. However, Ugarte doesn't bring a lot to the table in fantasy. He recorded three goal contributions (one goal, two assists) in 2024/25 and averaged 2.65 tackles per game, but he didn't stand out in any other categories. Now with Matheus Cunha in the mix, Ugarte will likely be on the ball even less in attacking situations. No matter how many minutes he gets, his ceiling will be capped with most of his fantasy value coming from defensive stats.
Limited option early
Ugarte came off the bench in both of the first two Premier League matches.
ANALYSIS
Ugarte has started the opening two matches of the season on the bench, clearly behind Casemiro in the pecking order. The midfielder seems to have moved ahead of Kobbe Mainoo in the XI, as both started during Wednesday's Carabao Cup clash with Grimsby Town. Ugarte will likely rotate with Casemiro as the schedule gets busier, though United don't have European competition to worry about.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
PSG won't lower their stance
PSG are not prepared to lower their £51 million valuation of Ugarte, according to The Mirror.
ANALYSIS
Ugarte is keen on joining Manchester United, but for that to happen, the Ligue 1 giants would have to soften their stance, or the Red Devils would have to make a better offer. The ball is in Manchester United's court, as PSG are ready to hold out for that aforementioned amount.
