I might depending on the line-up. Fancy a punt if Bielsa starts his first XI.
Manuel Ugarte | Romano - he’s signed | Awaiting Club announcement

i hope Ugarte starts
You do wonder if Erik actually wants a deep lying playmaker because doesn't seem to value a possession style of football
Same recycled bullshit every day.
How fast is he?
Faster than it’s taking us to put a bid in.
2AM UK time , is Ugarte likely to start?
Faster than a corgi, not quite as fast as a spaniel.
Not a high bar to be honest.
What a day
Yeah, yeah we'll see.
Flood gates are opening today
Urgate starts. I expect an Uruguay victory.

Did like the Messi wind up thing, shows he definitely has the character to play for Utd
Name similar to yogurt - just sayin
My dream summer acquisitions.
That's a rock solid midfield base
--- Dalot --- De Ligt ---- Branthwaite ---- Shaw ---
------------------- Ugarte ----- Onana -----------------------
------- Zirkzee -------- Bruno --------- Rashford ------
---------------------------- Hojlund ------------------------------

Bit anonymous so far, I haven't seen him take a single touch
He's been involved and looks calm. The commentators refuse to mention him.
He's been very good imo - playing the DM role well, taking up the right spots and protecting the backline
Yep he was really good - posted that about 10-15 mins into the game and he had a good game after.
He's been immense and was everywhere in a good way. Easily one of the best players on the pitch for Uruguay. Top class positioning and has bailed them out with some good clearances. Doesn't look to have the passing range but as a DM he's been great tonight.
Ah, my bad. Need to read the timestamp.
Injured?
10 mill cheaper thenYep, looked like he twisted his ankle going in for a challenge.
Let's hope.
Did well overall and deserves at least a 7/10. Was all over 2/3rds of the pitch and played simple passes to start attacks. Good enough on the ball and was also able to use his body to draw fouls in sticky situations. Also made a goal-line clearance.
A big negative was a wayward pass in a dangerous area while under no pressure around the 75th minute that led to a dangerous counter-attack. It reminded me of Casemiro, even if it could have been due to fatigue.

Just said in the post match interview that his knee was locked in so he got scared but it seems it's nothing.Yep, looked like he twisted his ankle going in for a challenge.

the kid is legit quality
Is this a troll? Zirkzee right wing, Martinez on the bench and the craziest idea of all. Mainoo not starting????
Onana over Mainoo. Yeah…..okay. I can’t even be bothered with all the other problems because that one is crazy enough to pretty much discount your opinion on anything.
No not a troll. Zirkzee is comfortable drifting to the left-wing and coming deep and has the ability to link up play. He's a versatile forward.
If Martinez gets a knock we're back to Lindelof.
People forgetting Mainoo is a teenager and the best teams in the league are able to rotate players during the campaign unless you want to burn out an 18 year old before Christmas.
Zirkzee isn’t a RW. And I’d have Mainoo starting over Onana every day of the week. Same with Martinez over any of them 2 CB.
£250m spent and still shite. No balance, No creativity and no thought process behind this 11. Awful line up. Two defensive minded midfielders with limited ability on the ball. Zero creativity and low progression from the centre midfield. Zirkzee isn’t a RW. Martinez is far better than Branthwaite. Garnacho is better than Rashford.
Sack Ashworth hire Waynne
Why are you dropping Martinez?
Mainoo will be a few months shy of 20 come Christmas
