While Ugarte has been discussed as an option at Ajax, Verweij says the chance of him joining is small.

According to Dutch media, Manuel Ugarte is interested in a move to Ajax. Voetbal International reports that Ajax sporting director Marijn Beuker currently has two favourites: Manuel Ugarte of Man Utd and Daley Blind of Girona FC. According to the Dutch outlet, Ugarte is interested in the move, and the main challenge is negotiating with Man Utd. Ugarte's contract is valid until the summer of 2029, and his salary is a significant problem for Ajax, as they have had to reduce their salary cap. It is reported that his time at Old Trafford is concluding. Ugarte's apparent willingness to transfer is also related to the 2026 World Cup, as he wants to be part of Uruguay's squad for the tournament and requires playing time. Obtaining regular playing time was difficult at Man Utd under Ruben Amorim, and despite the Portuguese's dismissal on Monday, Ugarte still wishes to leave. Ajax require a specialist in the No.6 position, which could be Ugarte if an agreement can be reached with both him and Man Utd.
