Here are five players on both sides will decide the outcome of this Premier League fixture. Manchester United DM Manuel Ugarte Manuel Ugarte's had an uneven first season at Old Trafford, but the talent is clearly there within the Uruguayan. Ruben Amorim's task is to get the former Sporting CP standout to play at the world-class level he flashed while at PSG in his lone season in Paris. On Sunday, Ugarte needs to be the backbone of the Manchester United midfield, control the game, and help drive the ball forwar...
