Manchester United new boy Manuel Ugarte has been pictured training at Carrington for the first time.
Uruguay international midfielder Manuel Ugarte has officially begun life as Manchester United player.
Ugarte’s long awaited move to Manchester United was finally confirmed on transfer deadline day, with 90 minutes to spare.
United paid £42 million to sign Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain, following weeks of negotiations.
Manuel Ugarte trains
Manuel Ugarte has been pictured training at Carrington, joining his new teammates.
The former PSG star mixed in alongside senior stars including former captain Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans, while there were a number of young players in the mix.
Ethan Williams, Louis Jackson, Harry Amass, and Toby Collyer were among those working with the first team group.
After his move to United was sealed, Ugarte posted a one-word message on social media which read: “FINALLY!!”, referencing the weeks of wait he had to seal the move after agreeing personal terms.
Now his dream move is a reality as he beds in as a Manchester United player, where his squad number is yet to be confirmed.
Why Manuel Ugarte cannot face Liverpool
Manuel Ugarte may be training, but he is not eligible for the fixture with Liverpool.
United needed to register Ugarte with the Premier League before 12pm on Friday, and this deadline was not met.
However, Ugarte has not played for PSG this season and also missed pre-season due to the Copa America.
So throwing him straight into a big fixture may not have been the smartest idea, even though he probably would have jumped at the chance.
United will instead be using his early days at Carrington to assess his match-fitness and put him on a training plan to get up to speed.
