VIDEO: 'This guy brings us the fight!' - Erik ten Hag welcomes Manuel Ugarte to Man Utd with bold message as new signing enjoys hectic first day at club

The Red Devils had a busy summer transfer window this time, with Manuel Ugarte being one of the top names that they managed to bring to Old Trafford. The Uruguayan arrived in Manchester from Paris Saint-Germain for an initial sum of €50 million (£42.3m/$55m) upfront with an additional €10m (£8.5m/$11m) in variables. On his first day at the club, the midfielder was welcomed by manager Erik ten Hag who took him in front of a wall for a photo shoot with the words 'United & Fight' in the backdrop.

The Dutch manager then told the club's media team, who were capturing the moment, "This is good [pointing at the wall] because this guy brings us the fight."

The ex-PSG star looked confused initially, however, he later said, "It’s an honour for me to fight!"

United are off to a nightmare start in the 2024/25 campaign despite making multiple additions to their squad. They have already lost twice in their first three Premier League outings including a humiliating defeat at the hands of arch-rivals Liverpool last Sunday.

The 23-year-old, who was unveiled at Old Trafford during the clash against the Reds, could make his debut in England on September 14 when Ten Hag's men take on Southampton away from home.
