The Purple Devils managed to beat the Saints 3-0 after an earlier scare when the hosts gained a penalty which was ultimately saved by Andre Onana.
Nevertheless, with targets from Matthijs de Ligt, Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, Ten Hag’s facet comfotably gained the match ultimately towards the newly promoted facet.
Ugarte was anticipated to begin the match however the supervisor determined to maintain him on the bench and launched him within the second half.
ESPN pundit Shaka Hislop has slammed Ten Hag’s choice to not begin the brand new signing in a comparatively simpler match.
Talking on ESPN FC’s YouTube channel, Hislop acknowledged that Ten Hag ought to have began the midfielder on this match as adapting within the tougher fixtures transferring ahead shall be robust for the previous PSG midfielder.
He mentioned:
“For me, why not stick Ugarte in? You’re not going to go long-term with [Christian] Eriksen, you’re not going to go long-term with Casemiro, and it’s a couple of weaker opponent in Southampton – which they have been.
“I don’t get it. And the explanation to say I don’t get it’s to begin the season, he brings in [Noussair] Mazraoui and [Matthijs] De Ligt. He begins with Mazraoui with no query, and I’m not on the coaching floor so I’m not precisely seeing that Ten Hag is seeing.
“However in the event you’re keen to throw gamers straight in – and people two signed days earlier than the opening day of the season or the Group Protect – go forward and throw these gamers in.
“You’ve acquired Southampton away, throw them in on the deep finish and simply let him mattress himself in for a barely harder check in Crystal Palace. After which no matter else is to come back. I simply don’t get the form of reluctant to take that gamble.”
Man United midfield have struggled in the previous few seasons
Ugarte has been signed by the Purple Devils to resolve their broadly identified midfield points.
Casemiro has proven again and again that he’s previous his greatest and unable to assist Man United.
His time on the prime stage is ending quickly and United want somebody younger, athletic and agile within the midfield.
Christian Eriksen is going through the same state of affairs as Casemiro, though his kind shouldn’t be as dangerous because the Brazilian.
Man United determined to let Scott McTominay depart the membership this summer time, which made the signing of Ugarte extra vital.
Hislop is making sense with what he’s saying because the Purple Devils face robust fixtures transferring ahead and enjoying Ugarte towards Southampton would have given him confidence and an early increase in his United profession.
