JAKARTA - Manchester United's 0-3 defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford will be a hot topic of conversation in the next few days.

The public is still furious with the defeat of the rival. Erik ten Hag became the target.

However, it turns out that the Red Devils supporters did not only vent it to Ten Hag. The club's top brass were also targeted.

The outburst of annoyance was born, one of which was due to Casemiro's blunder which made Manchester United concede two goals.

The Brazilian was finally replaced by a 20-year-old player, Toby Coller, at halftime.

Manchester United fans highlight the change that is considered inappropriate. They thought Casemiro should be replaced by new player Manuel Ugarte.

The problem is, Ugarte cannot be played in the match against Liverpool on September 1, 2024. He was only introduced before the kick-off and then left Old Trafford.

Ugarte reportedly immediately joined the Uruguay national team who tried to fight Guatemala.

Erik ten Hag said Ugarte was not in good form to play.

However, supporters did not heed. They considered Ugarde unable to play because the Manchester United officials were late in recruiting the 23-year-old midfielder.

In fact, Ugarte was available long ago when the summer transfer window opened because he had been dumped by Paris Saint-Germain.

"Our board of directors has ignored the signing in terms of time. It should have been completed a few weeks ago," wrote one fan.

"This is what happens if you leave Ugarte until the end of the transfer market and ignore three difficult opening matches," said another supporter.

"Why do we bother registering Ugarte for this match? Small details like this make a big difference," said another supporter as summarized by The Sun.

Manuel Ugarte was brought in from PSG for 51 million in the last minute of closing the summer transfer market.

As a result, he was not registered in the match against Liverpool. He didn't even watch his new team be destroyed by his arch-enemy, the Reds.

The decision is somewhat strange considering his colleague in Uruguay, Darwin Nunez, also appeared at Old Trafford and only followed the national team after the match was over.
