Man Utd news LIVE: Maresca aims subtle dig at Ten Hag as injury crisis worsens

Erik ten Hag was pleased with the impact Manuel Ugarte made on his debut.

The summer signing was substituted on in place of Christian Eriksen in the 73rd minute and made hit the ground running by making an important challenge and a series of neat passes.

Speaking about Ugarte, his manager said: “It’s good that we could bring him and he shows us straight what he brings.

“Control in midfield, good interceptions, very aggressive but also on the ball composed. He keeps the game going, links us back and forward so I think the first impressions were very good.”
