During the break after the end of the European season, Manchester United player Manuel Ugarte appeared in an image wearing a Flamengo shirt. The photo was published a few hours after the Rio de Janeiro team's 3-1 victory over Chelsea on Friday (20) in the Club World Cup.


The image had a huge impact among fans and also on social media, especially since it was a player who currently plays in the Premier League. The gesture was seen as a possible provocation towards English opponents.


RELATIONSHIP WITH FLAMENGO PLAYERS


Ugarte, 24, has a contract with Manchester United until June 2029. He began his professional career at Fénix in Uruguay and had spells at Famalicão and Sporting in Portugal , before moving to PSG and then the English club. Last season, he played 45 games, scoring two goals and providing six assists.

The midfielder maintains a close friendship with four athletes from the current Mais Querido squad: Varela, Viña, De La Cruz and Arrascaeta. They all played for the Uruguayan national team in the last World Cup , which reinforces the bond between them. Arrascaeta even commented in a humorous way on the image published by Ugarte: "Of course, Chucky, you have little things", joked the number 14 of Mengão.


FLAMENGO IN THE CLUB WORLD CUP

While Ugarte is enjoying his vacation, Rubro-Negro remains focused on the competition. The Rio de Janeiro team's next match is scheduled for Tuesday (24), at 10 pm (Brasília time), against Los Angeles FC, in the United States.
