Ugarte <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/manuel-ugarte-man-utd-gbp51m-deadline-day-psg-midfielder-erik-ten-hag/blt0a9bf56df3a5d67c" target="_blank">completed a long-awaited transfer to Old Trafford on the final day of the transfer window</a> after United and Paris Saint-Germain came to an agreement worth a reported a £51 million ($60m). While Ugarte traded Paris for Manchester, his compatriot <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/forgotten-man-utd-man-explains-exactly-when-he-decided-leave-transfer/blta38370cdccbcb87a" target="_blank">Pellistri left the club on a permanent basis to join Panathinaikos</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Despite his failure to establish himself as a first-team regular at United and opting to continue his career elsewhere, the 22-year-old attacker spoke in glowing terms of the Red Devils when Ugarte asked for his opinion before he agreed to the deal.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Asked by <a href="https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/why-manuel-ugarte-joined-man-utd-and-why-he-is-excited-to-start" target="_blank">club media</a> why he decided to move to United, Ugarte said joining "one of the best teams in the world" appealed to him, but he added: "I also spoke a lot with Facu Pellistri and he told me all about everything: the atmosphere that's generated, the matchday atmosphere that builds up at Old Trafford is incredible. So yes, I'm really excited. I'd love to experience United's legendary stadium as a player and feel the presence of the supporters."

WHAT UGARTE SAID

Ugarte was not registered in time to make his debut as United suffered a 3-0 loss to Liverpool on Sunday. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-liverpool-casemiro-kobbie-mainoo/bltd95c513a64f9cbe1" target="_blank">Having seen midfielder Casemiro crumble in that game</a>, coach Erik ten Hag will be eager to bring Ugarte into the fold when he settles into his new surroundings.
