Man United head coach Ruben Amorim will demand a response from his players when Rangers visit Old Trafford on Thursday evening.
For the second week running, Manchester United face the challenge of playing twice in a little under 72 hours.
He made three changes, dropping Lisandro Martinez, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund to the bench. Ugarte is the midfield enforcer United had been craving for several years, with the Uruguayan providing the steel and grit that had been missing. Mainoo is a more adventurous operator, meaning Ugarte's presence allows him to get on the ball and advance into more enterprising areas of the pitch.
Both turning 33 next month and facing the increasing likelihood of exits later this year, they have recently been overtaken by Toby Collyer in the pecking order. The 21-year-old has featured in each of United's last three matches via the substitutes bench, storing 101 minutes under his belt. He also completed 18 of his 19 attempted passes against Brighton, but it was not enough to prevent United from being beaten. Nevertheless, it was another opportunity for him to show to Amorim what he can offer.
