Ugarte Affirms Manchester United Players Still Believe In Amorism

JAKARTA - Manuel Ugarte said Ruben Amorism had the support of the Manchester United squad despite the difficult start of his career as head coach.

Amoritism has only won seven Premier League wins since replacing Erik ten Hag in November 2024. The Red Devils finished in 15th league, making their worst domestic season in more than 50 years.

However, ahead of the Portuguese coach's first full season, Ugarte - who played for Amorism at Sporting CP - confirmed that he was still the right person for the job.

"We have to improve performance. We still have to prepare for the next matches."

"We are all very motivated because we trust the coach. We believe in what he wants. That's very important," Ugarte said.

Meanwhile, Ugarte will enter his second season at Old Trafford after moving from Paris Saint-Germain a year ago.

Sometimes, the midfielder has struggled to face the Premier League rhythm and a decline in performance towards the end of the season - which led to a shock absence from the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspurs in Bilbao.

Amoritam mengatakan pemain Uruguay itu telah kembali musim panas ini dengan suasana hati yang lebih percaya.

Ugarte proved the claim with his impressive appearance in a 2-1 win over West Ham in New Jersey on Saturday, July 26, 2025.

"Last year we made some changes, we changed coaches, we changed formations."

"This year I'm fine, I'm very excited. It's important to perform well at this club, with Manchester United."

"You have to have a responsibility when playing for Manchester United. I am very happy and we must move forward."

"Sometimes connections take time to get to know each other. I already know this league, rivals, and that's important," said Ugarte.

Despite that, Manchster United has been linked with the move of other number 6 players to provide competition for Ugarte and Casemiro.

Young player Toby Coller can also play defensive midfielder in Amorium's 3-4-3 formation.

Namun, pemain berusia 21 tahun itu mengatakan bahwa setelah tampil 13 kali musim 2024/2025, ia mungkin akan dipinjakkan musim panas ini untuk memastikan menit bermain lebih banyak.

"I want to play as much as possible. I will sit with the manager and top ranks to see the best solution."

"The best way for me to develop, whether it stays here or is loaned out."

"My ultimate goal is to play as much here as possible, hopefully to start every week. I will sit with them," said Collyer.
