What Amorim told Ugarte
The Reds started our pre-season tour of the USA with victory, beating the Hammers 2-1 in New Jersey - and Ugarte was instrumental in helping gain the three points.
Manu was a constant pest, hassling and harrying the Londoners to win the ball back. He could have had an assist as well, if Amad's first-half finish from the Uruguayan's incisive pass hadn't been ruled out.
After the game, Manuel spoke to MUTV - opting to do it in English for the first time, rather than his native tongue - and explained that the way he played against West Ham is exactly what Ruben Amorim demands of him every day.
"[Ruben] always says about the communication," revealed the midfielder.
