Manuel Ugarte has revealed he spoke to Bruno Fernandes, Lisandro Martinez and Facundo Pellistri before agreeing to join Manchester United, and has admitted he is excited to experience the atmosphere at Old Trafford. Ugarte’s move was completed on transfer deadline day and he will be available to
play for the club after returning from international duty earlier this month. Before joining the
club, the 23-year-old has also spoken to fellow United player Pellistri, who left the club earlier this month.
“First of all, the history of the club, because we all know how big United is, one of the best in the world,” Ugarte said.
“I also spoke to Faku Pellistri and he told me everything. The atmosphere, the atmosphere at Old Trafford is incredible. “
So, yeah, I’m excited. I want to experience the atmosphere as a player in this legendary stadium of United and the fans.”
Ugarte also asked for his thoughts on current United players Bruno Fernandes and Lisandro Martinez.
“I have watched the game since the news came out. I spoke to one or two players, Bruno and Licha, I spoke a lot. “
So it’s true, I am very excited and nervous more than anything else. And at the same time I realise it is a big responsibility and I have to be prepared.”
Despite Sunday’s game against Liverpool ending on bad terms, the Uruguayan got to experience the atmosphere at Old Trafford for the first time, particularly when he came on stage before kick-off.
“I was very excited. I have never seen anything like this before, these fans, because when the news first came out they were sending me messages, ยูฟ่าเบท I saw them everywhere! “
It was still news in Uruguay so I think these fans, the hardcore United fans, deserve to have a club that wins titles and that’s what we hope to achieve.”
