Ruud van Nistelrooy defends two players: “I am convinced.” Manchester United acquired the player

for £78 million.Ruud van Nistelrooy has expressed confidence in Manuel Ugarte and Joshua Zirkzee’s ability to thrive at Old Trafford subsequent to their summer transfers to Manchester United. Zirkzee was the initial acquisition of the summer transfer window for United, having been acquired from Bologna for €42.5 million (£36.5m). His primary role was to provide support to Rasmus Hojlund in the attacking position.On transfer deadline day, Ugarte was the concluding arrival of the window. He was acquired from Paris Saint-Germain for €50 million (£42.3m) and €10 million (£8.5m) in add-ons. Despite United’s initial investment of £78 million in the acquisition of both Zirkzee and Ugarte, neither player has been able to establish a consistent presence in the Premier League. Since signing, Zirkzee has appeared in only four league games, while Ugarte has been given only one start, which occurred in a 3-0 loss to Tottenham.

Van Nistelrooy continued to emanate an aura 12 years after his retirement as a player, and he entered the press room at Carrington on Thursday afternoon with a broad smile. When questioned about Ugarte, the 48-year-old responded, “I am certain that Manuel will be an exceptional player for United.” Yesterday, his performance was exceptional, and he also performed well against Fenerbahce. I believe that it is important to exercise caution when it comes to quickly concluding individuals who have been in the organisation for two or three months. “This is an excellent acquisition; he is a highly skilled and professional player who possesses unique qualities in midfield, such as the ability to recover the ball and manoeuvre between players, thereby enabling us to position ourselves for an attacking opportunity.” Additionally, his ball skills are quite commendable; consequently, I anticipate that he will be an exceptional asset to this organisation. It is believed that Ugarte was not the first choice of former manager Erik ten Hag to bolster his midfield in the summer. However, he should benefit significantly from Ruben Amorim’s appointment, as he flourished while playing under the new United manager at Sporting Lisbon.

The assistant manager is not responsible for recruitment; however, I am able to provide feedback on my daily interactions with Manuel. Van Nistelrooy stated, “He is adapting and he is eager to become a member of this team.” “He is highly motivated to achieve success for this club.” His performance yesterday was commendable, and we can develop upon it. He is improving with each passing performance. We are severely lacking in midfield depth, and I anticipate that he will perform admirably in the forthcoming matches.

Others remain more involved in the football aspect, which is entirely acceptable to me. Ultimately, you will be evaluated, and I believe that yesterday was a successful day. We received constructive criticism, and everyone was optimistic. There is the potential for change and continuity in football; however, I am sceptical of the hype and spectacle. “It is crucial to maintain a sense of tranquilly and concentration, and to continue to perform my duties on a daily basis, as this is the reality of the world in which we reside.” I believe that this must also be the case for the institution.
