Man United's midfield could have a very different look to it after the international break - and it is likely Bruno Fernandes will be delighted.
As Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister repeatedly strolled their way through Manchester United's midfield at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, Manuel Ugarte , sat in the directors' box, must have been itching to try and help out.
As punishment, the Brazilian, who has experienced a staggering decline over the past 12 months, was hooked at half-time and replaced by Toby Collyer. United's supporters will now be demanding that Ugarte is installed as the midfield anchor against Southampton after the international break. In Ugarte, United might have found the perfect operator to compliment their respective skillsets. The 23-year-old is a midfielder that prides himself on being disruptive and winning the ball back for his team.
And for Fernandes, the addition of Ugarte is likely to have pleased him more than anyone else in the squad. That is because, back in 2020, the Portuguese international addressed the importance of having a midfield destroyer alongside him in the engine room.
