Manuel Ugarte's performance has been inconsistent since joining Manchester United from Paris Saint-Germain in 2024.
Under Erik ten Hag, Ugarte barely featured before Rúben Amorim took over in November.
Amorim, who managed Ugarte at Sporting CP, has preferred Casemiro over him, and Ugarte has struggled to meet expectations at Old Trafford.
Although Ugarte showed promise in pre-season alongside Kobbie Mainoo, his form has not carried over to the Premier League or Carabao Cup.
Amorim allegedly told Ugarte: "You're not the same player than what you were at Sporting,"
in a meeting where he also advised Alejandro Garnacho to find a new club after the Europa League final.
