Gary Neville suggests that Casemiro may not be the only midfielder leaving Manchester United this summer, and Manuel Ugarte could also depart.
The veteran Brazilian has confirmed his exit at the season’s end. With seven goals, the 34-year-old is having one of his best seasons in Europe, prompting calls from teammates and fans for him to stay at Old Trafford for another year.
Despite this, management has decided to part ways with the high-earning midfielder.
Manuel Ugarte has not impressed at Man Utd
As Casemiro prepares to say goodbye to MUFC supporters, INEOS will need to find a suitable replacement.
Ugarte was initially viewed as a long-term successor to Casemiro. However, since his £50m transfer to Manchester United in the summer of 2024, his performances have been disappointing. Even reuniting with former Sporting Club manager Ruben Amorim didn’t help.
Many fans believe that Ugarte’s appearances in the second half of games often lead to conceding goals, according to the statistics.
