United sacked Erik ten Hag last Monday and quickly announced his successor with Rubén Amorim named United’s new coach on Friday.

But Amorim will not arrive until the international break, leaving Van Nistelrooy will take charge of three more United games.

The first came on Sunday and United appeared to be heading for a 1-0 victory after Bruno Fernandes scored from the penalty spot.

However, Chelsea responded through Moisés Caicedo, giving the Blues a share of the spoils in the 1-1 draw.

Gary Neville concerned about the Manchester United player’s problems

This was a pretty complicated game and moments of genuine quality were few and far between.

United continue to waste in the final third and Manuel Ugarte He didn’t fully take advantage of his opportunity in United’s engine room.

United fans have shared their concern about Ugarte’s performance against Chelsea since the Uruguayan failed to make an impact.

Ugarte signed for United from Paris Saint-Germain on transfer deadline day in a deal that could reach £50m.

However, Ugarte’s United career has yet to begin and fans are yet to see the return of that significant outlay.

After fouling Cole Palmer, Gary Neville said sky sports (03/11, 5:10 pm) that Ugarte really needs a consistent run of games in the United side.

Neville feels Ugarte hasn’t really had the chance to find his best form, but he could see that playing against Chelsea was a “struggle” for him.

“He just needs a series of games, Manuel Ugarte,” Neville said. “He hasn’t had the chance to get going, it’s a struggle for him,” he added.

Manuel Ugarte’s statistics against Chelsea

We saw Ugarte put in a great performance in Fenerbahce with Paul Scholes praises Ugarte for his best performance in a United shirt.

However, that hasn’t really helped Ugarte gain momentum and the midfielder still looks a little off the pace in the Premier League.

The statistics do not look very good for Ugarte’s performance on Sunday, highlighting his six fouls; Only Pervis Estupinan has committed more fouls in a Premier League match this season.

The transition from Ligue 1 to the Premier League is complicated and Ugarte may need time to shine.

Fortunately, Ugarte will soon have a very familiar face to guide his development.

New boss Amorim made Ugarte a star at Sporting, helping him secure his big move to PSG in 2023.

Van Nistelrooy believes that Ugarte will shine with Amorim and United fans will surely hope that is the case after another difficult afternoon.
