Manchester United Uruguay midfielder Manuel Ugarte
Manchester United have confirmed Uruguay midfielder Manuel Ugarte suffered knee ligament damage in a World Cup defeat against Spain.
Ugarte was stretchered off in the first half after twisting awkwardly while making a tackle in the build-up to Spain’s winning goal in Guadalajara.
The 25-year-old held his head in his hands while leaving the pitch and reports suggest he could be sidelined for several months.
Ugarte was assessed by Uruguay’s medical staff on Saturday and will now travel to Manchester for further tests.
