While he had a cannonball start to the season, the Uruguayan international ended it in relative anonymity.

Remember: at the start of the season, Manuel Ugarte was the hit of the summer for Paris Saint-Germain. Arriving from Sporting Portugal, the Uruguayan international even found a starting place in the Ile-de-France midfield. Then, his performances gradually declined, to the point that the coach of the capital club hardly uses him anymore.

“I think Luis Enrique is not happy with his use of the ball, estimates Pierre Ménès in a video published on his YouTube channel. Ugarte is very effective in harassing the opponent and recovering. But he is extremely average, not to say deficient, in his use of the ball. »

Playtime gone hungry

Latest example: Saturday evening, against Le Havre. Unhappy with his team’s play, Luis Enrique made his five changes very early. But Ugarte has never set foot on the pitch at the Parc des Princes. “After this guy didn’t play a single minute against Le Havre, like Mukiele, that’s one of the things I would like Luis Enrique to explain to me”adds the sports journalist.

With Randal Kolo Muani, Manuel Ugarte is among the disappointments of this already successful season for PSG. According to Gazzetta dello SportJuventus Turin could be interested in recovering the native of Montevideo.
