Manuel Ugarte and Erik ten Hag shared an awkward moment on camera and Manchester United fans couldn't bear to watch.

Man United fans were thrilled when the club finally managed to complete the signing of midfielder Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain on deadline day (August 30).

United pursued the 23-year-old holding midfielder all summer, but they struggled to come to an agreement with the French club.

After weeks of negotiations the two clubs agreed a £51 million deal, although Ugarte was not registered with the Premier League in time to feature in United's home defeat to Liverpool.

The performance of Casemiro during the 3-0 defeat made it crystal clear why United needed to bring in Ugarte to replace him.

United fans can't wait to see him in action, but they won't want to see any more awkward interactions between him and manager Ten Hag.

After arriving at the club's Carrington training base, Ugarte and Ten Hag were filmed heading indoors.

However, before they got inside the Dutch coach was caught on camera trying hype up his new signing.

"This guy brings us the fight!," Ten Hag said, pointing to a mural at the Carrington entrance that reads "United and Fight." Ugarte wasn't clear who the former Ajax manager was referring to and confusingly answered: “Who?”

Ten Hag then responded: “You."

After clearing up the confusion, Ugarte said: "It's normal for me, [to] fight!"

Fans were were left squirming after watching the awkward video, with one user writing on X: "Tough watch that."

"Every interaction with Ten Hag is so weirdly awkward, have to respect it," another commented.

Another fan said: "Fight?? Did we sign Conor McGregor or a football player?"

A fourth wrote: "Ugarte didn't even know who's Erik ten Hag talking about," while another simply said: "That's really awkward..."
