FIRST STEP: Manuel Ugarte beams as he had his first training session with Man Utd teammates but was not allowed to attend the match against Liverpool

Manchester United new boy Manuel Ugarte has been pictured training at Carrington for the first time.

Uruguay international midfielder Manuel Ugarte has officially begun life as Manchester United player.

Ugarte’s long awaited move to Manchester United was finally confirmed on transfer deadline day, with 90 minutes to spare.

United paid £42 million to sign Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain, following weeks of negotiations.

Manuel Ugarte has been pictured training at Carrington, joining his new teammates.

The former PSG star mixed in alongside senior stars including former captain Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans, while there were a number of young players in the mix.

Ethan Williams, Louis Jackson, Harry Amass, and Toby Collyer were among those working with the first team group.

After his move to United was sealed, Ugarte posted a one-word message on social media which read: “FINALLY!!”, referencing the weeks of wait he had to seal the move after agreeing personal terms.

Now his dream move is a reality as he beds in as a Manchester United player, where his squad number is yet to be confirmed.

Manuel Ugarte may be training, but he is not eligible for the fixture with Liverpool.

Ugarte had to be registered by United with the Premier League by Friday at 12 p.m., but this deadline was missed.

Ugarte did not play for PSG this season, though, and he missed the preseason as well because of the Copa America.

Therefore, even though he would have leaped at the chance, it might not have been the best decision to thrust him right into a major fixture.

Instead, United will evaluate his match fitness during his initial days at Carrington and implement a training regimen to bring him up to speed.
