Manuel Ugarte is set to complete his transfer to Manchester United and be announced by the club soon. However, the Uruguayan needed to be registered by noon to play against Liverpool, but that deadline has come and passed in the UK.
Manchester United fans were hoping to have their new midfield signing available for the critical early-season derby but will have to wait for his debut. Casemiro will certainly retain his spot next to Kobbie Mainoo.
Erik Ten Hag will be light on midfield options at Old Trafford this weekend. Mason Mount picked up an injury that will keep him out for around a month, and Scott McTominay has completed his move to Napoli. Christian Eriksen and Toby Collyer are the only remaining options behind Casemiro and Mainoo.
Manuel Ugarte should be ready to make his debut against Southampton after the international break.
