Ugarte moved to Old Trafford from PSG for £50m on transfer deadline day but had little time to meet his new team-mates before flying out to face Paraguay and Venezuela in World Cup qualifiers. ( sakidbet )

The 23-year-old midfielder started both games in the goalless draw and complained of feeling unwell, but he returned to Carrington on Thursday and will be in United’s squad for the trip to St Mary’s.

It remains to be seen whether Erik ten Hag will hand Ugarte a starting spot, given the long journey and lack of training time with the rest of his team-mates, and despite Casemiro making a second costly mistake in United’s defeat to Liverpool, the experienced Brazilian could keep his place.

Ten Hag confirms Ugarte is available and says Rasmus Hojlund and Luke Shaw are also recovering.

“We all saw Manuel Ugarte, he played for Uruguay. He came back on Thursday, the others came back the day before, so he is ready to play,” Ten Hag said.

“Rasmus Hojlund and Luke Shaw are recovering very well but are not ready for this game.”
