Manchester United legend Paul Scholes praised midfielder Manuel Ugarte’s performance against Liverpool in Sunday’s Premier League game at Anfield.
Speaking with Premier League Productions, Scholes stated that Ugarte surpassed lots of expectations with his defensive prowess in the team’s 2-2 draw against the Reds.

“He’s probably done better than I thought he would do,” Scholes told Premier League Productions.
“He (coach Ruben Amorim) said before that Ugarte did well for him at Sporting Lisbon, as a really young player as well so he knows him.
“This lad is really growing in confidence. I thought he took up some great positions, he helped defensively, he helped with the attack and I thought he had the composure to take the ball as well. It looks to me like it has to be him with another.”
