According to Chris Wheeler, Manchester United correspondent for the Daily Mail, Ugarte's injury will not prevent Man Utd from simultaneously signing Ederson Silva and Matheus Fernandes.

Man Utd confirmed that Ugarte suffered a left knee ligament injury during Uruguay's World Cup match against Spain.

The specific ligament damaged remains unclear, but the club stated that the required treatment plan and recovery timeline will only be confirmed after a full assessment.

Although Ugarte's health is Man Utd's top priority, the injury could also impact the club's transfer plans this summer.

Many believe Man Utd are open to offers for Ugarte. The player has struggled to secure regular 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 only 10 starts across all competitions, as Amorim preferred pairing Bruno Fernandes with Casemiro in midfield, and his successor Carrick subsequently brought Mainoo back to partner the Brazilian midfielder.

Man Utd began rebuilding their midfield this summer after Casemiro left Old Trafford on a free transfer. They agreed a £39 million deal with Atalanta to sign Ederson after he returned from the World Cup with Brazil, and are also negotiating with West Ham for Matheus Fernandes.

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

If Man Utd fail to sign Matheus Fernandes, Bournemouth's Alex Scott is considered the top alternative, with Tchouaméni, Tonali, Baldé, and Adam Wharton also on the list.

However, the severity of Ugarte's injury remains unclear, and concerns over his long-term recovery make his sale this summer uncertain.

In this scenario, the injury is unlikely to affect Man Utd's financial capacity to bring in both Ederson and Matheus Fernandes. Nevertheless, the club initially hoped to strengthen midfield further with an additional player if budget allowed, and this plan largely depends on raising funds through selling Ugarte.

If Man Utd also want to sign a left-winger and a backup goalkeeper, they may need to shelve these plans.

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