Manchester United’s latest signing, Manuel Ugarte, has revealed his new shirt number that is assigned to him at the club.
Manuel Ugarte was high on their list of top targets for most of the summer transfer season; Ugarte’s transfer was only done and dusted on the deadline day.
The PSG’s former No. 4 and Uruguayan national team member has been given No. 25 at Manchester United as confirmed on the club social media page.
Mixed Reactions from Fans Over Manuel Ugarte’s Jersey Number
The choice to give Ugarte the number 25 jersey, a jersey that had belonged to Jadon Sancho before his transfer to Chelsea, has elicited a wide range of emotions among the Manchester United faithful.
Some of the fans took to the social media platforms to show their discontent, with one of the X users asking, “Why give him the jersey of a flop?” Another fan added, “I hope he doesn’t become like that fraud.”
In a previous report from Sportsbuddy, it has been revealed that Manuel Ugarte may not feature for Manchester United when they face Liverpool on Sunday evening.
Sancho’s tenure at Manchester United has been mostly plagued with disciplinary problems and poor form, hence the fans’ unrest.
Chelsea’s signing at the deadline day signified the end of a sorrowful tale of the English winger at Old Trafford.
As Manchester United prepares to face Liverpool in a crucial Premier League clash this evening, the Red Devils will hope to get a positive result after last week’s defeat to Brighton.
