Ugarte, 23, became United's fifth summer signing when his £42m switch - rising to a potential £50m - from Paris St-Germain was confirmed on transfer deadline day.

The midfielder sealed his move too late to play a part in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Liverpool but was introduced to the home fans before kick-off at Old Trafford.

He has now revealed the role United skipper Fernandes and defender Martinez - as well as former Red Devils winger and Uruguay team-mate Facundo Pellistri - played.
