According to Chris Wheeler, Manchester United correspondent for the Daily Mail, Ugarte's injury is unlikely to impact Manchester United's financial capacity to simultaneously acquire Ederson Silva and Matheus Fernandes.

Manchester United has confirmed that Ugarte suffered a ligament injury to his left knee during Uruguay's Copa América match against Spain.

It remains unclear which specific ligament Ugarte injured, but the club has issued a statement saying that the required treatment plan and estimated recovery time will only be determined after a full evaluation.

While Ugarte's health is currently Manchester United's top priority, this injury could also impact the club's transfer plans for the summer.

It is widely believed that Manchester United is willing to listen to offers for Ugarte. The player has struggled to establish a consistent starting position since joining from Paris Saint-Germain two years ago for a fee that could reach £50.5 million.

Last season, he started only 10 matches across all competitions, as Amorim preferred to pair Bruno Fernandes with Casemiro in a midfield double pivot, and subsequently, his successor Carrick reintegrated Mainoo to partner with the Brazilian.

Manchester United has begun rebuilding its midfield this summer after Casemiro departed Old Trafford on a free transfer. They have reached a £39 million agreement with Atalanta to sign Ederson after he returns from the Copa América with the Brazilian national team, and are also in negotiations with West Ham United for Matheus Fernandes.

West Ham United values Matheus Fernandes at between £80 and £85 million and is also in talks with Tottenham Hotspur over the 21-year-old Portuguese midfielder. Manchester United must convince West Ham United to sell the player to them, though personal terms are not expected to be an issue.

If Manchester United fails to sign Matheus Fernandes, Alex Scott of Bournemouth is considered a top alternative, with other options including Tchouaméni, Tonali, Balde, and Adam Wharton.

However, the severity of Ugarte's injury remains unclear, and the possibility of long-term recovery makes his prospects of being sold this summer uncertain.

In this situation, the injury is unlikely to affect Manchester United's financial capacity to simultaneously acquire Ederson and Matheus Fernandes. However, the club had hoped to strengthen another midfielder within budget, and this plan depended heavily on recovering funds through selling Ugarte.

If Manchester United also wants to sign a left winger and a backup goalkeeper, it may have to postpone this plan.

They will receive compensation from FIFA's Club Protection Programme, which provides up to £120,000 per week in salary reimbursement if a player is injured while on international duty.
