So, yes, it\u2019s a big summer for Ugarte and I hope he makes a good decision for him and for his family.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month Manchester United legend Gary Neville predicted Ugarte would follow fellow midfielder Casemiro out of the club this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Casemiro, who has enjoyed an impressive season, announced in January that he would be leaving Old Trafford at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Casemiro is leaving and Manuel Ugarte I think will leave,\u2019 Neville said on his Sky Sports podcast. \u2018So United need two really good central midfield players.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Probably one that\u2019s more positional, like a Michael Carrick-type, and one that\u2019s more of a destroyer. I do think the back needs looking at but the midfield would be the real focus in the summer transfer window.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Manchester United could only draw 2-2 with Bournemouth on Friday night but remain third in the Premier League with seven games remaining.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea, meanwhile, suffered a demoralising 3-0 defeat at Everton on Saturday to slip six points outside the top-four places.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>For more stories like this,\u00a0check our sport page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on <meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><br \/>\n<strong>Facebook,\u00a0<\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Metro_Sport\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Instagram<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\"><svg><title>Arrow<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#common-right-arrow\" href=\"#common-right-arrow\"\/><\/svg><span class=\"mor-link\" data-track-module=\"mor-link_article\">MORE: Jamie Carragher says Arsenal star is \u2018not good enough\u2019 after Manchester City defeat in Carabao Cup final<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\"><svg><title>Arrow<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#common-right-arrow\" href=\"#common-right-arrow\"\/><\/svg><span class=\"mor-link\" data-track-module=\"mor-link_article\">MORE: Jamie Redknapp suggests new position for struggling Arsenal star after Manchester City defeat<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\"><svg><title>Arrow<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#common-right-arrow\" href=\"#common-right-arrow\"\/><\/svg><span class=\"mor-link\" data-track-module=\"mor-link_article\">MORE: Pep Guardiola makes huge Arsenal claim after Manchester City win Carabao Cup<\/span><\/p>\n<section id=\"share-buttons-bottom\" class=\"share-buttons share-buttons-bottom\">\n\t\t\t<span><svg><title>Comment now<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#social-comment\" href=\"#social-comment\"\/><\/svg><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"share-bar-comments__label\">Comments<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<span><svg><title>Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#social-preferred-source\" href=\"#social-preferred-source\"\/><\/svg><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"share-bar-preferred-source__label\">Add as preferred source<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/section>\n<div class=\"newsletter-end-card accent--sport\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-end-card__inner\">\n<h4>Football Newsletter \u2013 In The Mixer<\/h4>\n<p>Punchy analysis, transfer talk and more from Metro&#8217;s football experts, sent straight to your inbox every week.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
