Facu pellistri

Manchester United: After a two-month-long chase, Manchester United have finally confirmed the signing of Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte. The 23-year-old will be involved for Uruguay during the upcoming international break. Ugarte has explained what drew him to Manchester – a decision that involved a conversation with a compatriot who has only just left the club.

“First and foremost, it is history, because we all know what a massive club United is - one of the best teams in the world, 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,' said Ugarte to MUFC's media team.

Manuel also sought the views of Bruno Fernandes and Lisandro Martinez, two pillars of this current United side.
