Erik ten Hag’s Worrying Manuel Ugarte Update After Liverpool Defeat: ‘I’m Not Harry Potter
Erik ten Hag has provided a concerning update on new Manchester United signing Manuel Ugarte following the team’s crushing 3-0 defeat to Liverpool.
Ugarte, who was introduced to the Old Trafford crowd before the match, has yet to make an appearance for the team, and Ten Hag warned that it will take time for the midfielder to be fully integrated into the squad.
Ten Hag emphasized that he’s not a “Harry Potter” and that turning around United’s fortunes will take time. He explained that Ugarte hasn’t played any matches this season and will need to build up his fitness before becoming a key player, which could take weeks or even months.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah was the standout performer in Liverpool’s victory, scoring a goal and providing two assists. Despite his brilliant form, Salah revealed uncertainty about his future at the club, as no discussions about a contract renewal have taken place. Salah, who has 10 goals in his last seven appearances at Old Trafford, mentioned that this could be his final season with Liverpool and expressed his desire to enjoy it.
Liverpool’s manager, Arne Slot, remained focused on the team rather than individual players, stating that while Salah and Luis Diaz were impressive, it’s important to recognize the contributions of the entire squad.
Slot’s comments came amid speculation about Salah’s future, but he avoided discussing contract details, emphasizing the collective effort of his team.
