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

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

The specific ligament affected remains unclear, but the club has issued a statement indicating that the required treatment plan and recovery timeline will only be determined after a full assessment.

While Ugarte's health is currently Manchester United's priority, the 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 secure consistent first-team football since joining from Paris Saint-Germain two years ago for a fee that could reach £50.5 million.

Last season, he made just 10 starts across all competitions as Amorim preferred Bruno Fernandes alongside Casemiro in the double pivot midfield, and later, his successor Carrick reintegrated Mainoo to play alongside the Brazilian midfielder.

Manchester United began rebuilding its midfield this summer following Casemiro's departure from Old Trafford on a free transfer. They have agreed a £39 million deal with Atalanta to sign Ederson following his return from the World Cup with the Brazilian national team, and are also in negotiations with West Ham United for Matheus Fernandes.

West Ham United values Matheus Fernandes between £80 million and £85 million, and they are also in talks with Tottenham Hotspur over the 21-year-old Portuguese midfielder. Manchester United must convince West Ham 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 from Bournemouth is considered their top alternative, with options also including Tchouaméni, Tonali, Baleba, and Adam Wharton.

However, the severity of Ugarte's injury remains unclear, and a potentially lengthy recovery also makes his summer sale prospects uncertain.

In this scenario, the injury is unlikely to impact Manchester United's financial capacity to acquire both Ederson and Matheus Fernandes simultaneously. However, the club had originally hoped to further strengthen the midfield with additional players if budget allowed, and this plan largely depended on recouping funds through Ugarte's sale.

If Manchester United also wants to recruit a left-back and a backup goalkeeper, they may need to postpone these plans.

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