Man Utd 'could use Manuel Ugarte' in swap deal involving Sandro Tonali amid Newcastle interest in Uruguayan midfielder
Goal | 13.04.2026 10:27
Ugarte has become a peripheral figure since Carrick’s appointment, slipping behind Kobbie Mainoo in the midfield pecking order. With a significant engine room overhaul planned as Casemiro departs, Newcastle remain alert to Ugarte’s situation, particularly as his long-term future looks increasingly unlikely if Carrick is appointed on a permanent basis. The Uruguayan remains under contract until 2029 following his £51 million arrival, yet his struggle to adapt to the current system’s tactical demands has made a summer departure a realistic prospect.
