Neville angrily criticized Manchester United: Old Trafford has been the grave of big-name stars in the past decade

Manchester United new player Ugater revealed that he was in poor form, which once again caused the outside world to worry about the Red Devils' "high-priced signing trap". The former mentor Amorin returned to coaching, but it still couldn't solve the curse that the stars collectively lost their beauty in Old Trafford.

Manchester United's signing performance has been disappointing again and again in the past decade. Now, Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte personally admitted that his competitive level has not reached the level he should have, even if he re-meeted his former mentor Amorin at Old Trafford. In Manchester United's history, this situation has long been no longer news. In the past decade, almost every player who joined the Red Devils has performed below expectations here, as if after coming to Dream Theater, his personal level will always drop by a level.

Neither a superstar or a potential new star failed to break this curse. As the fifth highest-priced midfielder in Manchester United's history, Ugat triggered a battle between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain in the transfer market before joining. He performed amazingly during his sports in Portugal and grew up to be one of the defensive midfielders sought after by Amorin.

However, he failed to gain a foothold in Paris and was brought to Manchester United by Tenhager last summer. But the Dutch coach started the season poorly and was quickly fired, and Ugath returned to Amorin's men. The mentor who once shaped him firmly believes that the two's re-work will help the players get back to form. Amorin publicly stated: The Uruguayan players I coached are all very outstanding, which is why I like them. Ugat is a very talented child and has a lot of room for improvement. I'm glad he's following me again at Manchester United.

Many Manchester United fans originally thought that this time the team finally found the right way to crack the "high-priced signings do not meet the standards". But reality disappoints. The team's lineup is still full of players who have not fulfilled their value. Even legendary captain Gary Neville criticized without hesitation: "Old Trafford has been the grave of big-name stars in the past ten years. Except for Bruno Fernandez, no player has made real progress here. Whether it is Di Maria, Schweinsteiger, or later signings, they have all retreated after coming here. Ugat is getting more and more self-deprecating!"

Now, Ugat himself has to admit that he has not been able to play as he deserves. The midfielder, known for his interception and toughness, said bluntly in an interview with Uruguayan media: "We didn't start the season well, and I was not in good shape. We must face it realistically and honestly." In fact, Ugat has been struggling for playing time all season. He only made a substitute in the first two games, and then was simply pressed on the bench against Burnley and acted as a spectator throughout the whole game.

Despite this, he still emphasized that he had a good relationship with Amorin and was full of confidence in the future: "I am very confident, and I have a good relationship with the coach. I train hard and excited, and I hope to win back the main position as soon as possible." Ugat is just one of the microcosms of the failure of Tenghager's signing period. Anthony has been loaned to Real Betis, and Hoylen has also been rented out. Nowadays, a new group of players who join - such as Mbeumo and Seshko - must prove by their performance that they will not become another "sacrifice" of "the grave in Neville's mouth".
