Manuel Ugarte compilation from Man Utd’s draw with FC Twente is going viral

A compilation of Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte's performance against FC Twente in the Europa League is going viral.

The Uruguay midfielder made his second start for United on Wednesday evening, having featured in the 7-0 Carabao Cup win over Barnsley earlier in the month.

United fans, though, had mixed feelings about his display against Twente, with some praising his defensive abilities while others criticised his all-round performance.

The midfielder, who was signed from PSG in the summer, has since taken to Twitter to respond to that criticism, writing: "The first to criticise myself. It wasn't a great game on a personal level. We have to keep working."

Now, a compilation of Ugarte's display has gone viral.

It shows the Uruguay midfielder attempting several ambitious - but ultimately misplaced - passes, with one crossfield ball to Marcus Rashford narrowly evading the United star before bouncing out of play.

Ugarte also lands several crunching tackles, but there are occasions when he is beaten defensively.

One clip shows the midfielder launching the ball out of play for a corner to prevent a dangerous FC Twente attack.

While Ugarte's performance gained attention, it was comments made by goalscorer Christian Eriksen in the game's aftermath that left United supporters less than happy.

The Danish midfielder claimed that Twente 'wanted it more' than his side.

Eriksen told TNT Sports: "In the end, it was far from good enough. It was just said in the dressing room... it looked like they wanted it more than us. And that can't be right.

"Everyone is looking at themselves. We are professional footballers. We know it can't happen [drawing at home] - we didn't lose, but it feels like a loss."
