Manchester United signing Manuel Ugarte is a bad idea for the Red Devils as it would mean the departure of valuable Scott McTominay.
The transfer is well on track. Just one year after his arrival at Paris Saint-Germain, Manuel Ugarte will head to Manchester United, where his arrival does not please legend Rio Ferdinand. And for good reason, because the Uruguayan could push the precious Scott McTominay, courted by Naples, towards the exit.
“I look at Scott McTominay and I think, not every player can be a star player.analyzes Rio Ferdinand. To win the league you need players like John O’Shea, Wes Brown, Darren Fletcher, Chicharito, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, from when we were at United. Those players are huge, you need those players and they understand the DNA of the club, especially the ones who come through the academy.”
With McTominay, Man Utd knows what it is missing…
For Rio Ferdinand, we should not underestimate the value of these duty players, adapted to the values of the club, good soldiers who provide services to the group, whether they are starters or substitutes. And what the former defender regrets is seeing Man Utd spend “£30, £40, £50 million” to compensate for the departure of these players, as will be the case with Manuel Ugarte. Without having the guarantee that the new player will be able to fill this role of the shadow, so precious.
“It’s a bet, Ferdinand estimatesyou don’t know what you’re going to get with the next player, whereas with him (McTominay) you know what you’re going to get, it’s written on the tin. When he plays he might not always be an 8/10 or a 9/10, but he’s a good seven and everyone knows that, and then he’ll be an eight and he’ll score you a goal.” In this case, McTominay scored 10 goals last season, in 43 appearances, despite irregular playing time. It is up to Ugarte to make us forget him.
