One of Erik Ten Hag’s signatures at Man UTD is labelled Craig Burley’s “wet blanket.”
Ten Hag has approved many transactions that have not worked with Antony, Rasmus Hojlund and Tyrell Malacia, in signatures that have not worked with Antony, Rasmus Hojlund and Tyrell Malacia.
Manuel Ugarte is another good example of a player whose 10 hugs signed a big buck because he was ultimately disappointed with his performance.
Ugarte moved from Paris Saint-Germain in 2024 with the first €50 million worth of transactions, with Man UTD potentially paying an additional €10 million with performance-related add-ons.
Man Utd is screaming for a good defensive midfielder, but Ugarte hasn’t made an impression yet, Casemiro has also had critics, but Ruben Amorim is preferred.
And now, former Scotland International Craigburley has been a hit with Ugarte. Ugarte offers Amorim “absolutely nothing” along with the “wet blanket” of the Uruguay international brand.

“He never actually put him in the beginning. He was with Casemiro and Fernandez, but Amorim needs to sort out the middle.
“You can’t have that midfield. They tried Mount, Fernandez, Ugarte and Casemilo, but he’s changing a lot from game to game.”
Neville’s former Man UTD teammate Roy Keene doesn’t think Ugarte will guarantee a team’s location, but he believes Mason Mount has become Amorim’s favorite.
Keene added:
“I think Reuben Amorim really likes the mount.”
Keene then continues: “To be honest, do you think Mount will come back together? I know Amorim likes him, but that’s what worries me. That’s what worries me.”
Man Utd has inquired about his contract with Brighton midfielder Carlos Valleva during the summer transfer, but Seagulls are demanding British record fees from Cameroon International.
Recent reports show that Man Utd has made him his next big target after spending around £200 million on the forward line over several summer months.
