Fans convinced they’ve seen Man Utd star on The Chase barely 48 hours after ‘running the midfield at Anfield’
MANCHESTER UNITED fans were stunned to see a Manuel Ugarte lookalike on an episode of The Chase this week.
The Red Devils earned a point against high-flying Liverpool on Sunday.
Lisandro Martinez opened the scoring for Ruben Amorim‘s side at Anfield before Cody Gakpo levelled things up.
Mohamed Salah then converted a penalty to put Liverpool ahead, but Amad Diallo scored an 80th-minute equaliser to seal a draw.
United fans were particularly impressed with Ugarte‘s performance at the weekend.
So one person couldn’t help but comment when they saw a lookalike of the midfielder on a popular TV quiz show.
They shared a picture of the contestant in question before taking to X to write: “Running the midfield at Anfield on a Sunday, The Chase on a Tuesday, some bloke Ugarte.”
Another joked: “Ugarte with glasses like Superman with glasses.”
A third said: “It actually looks like him lmao.”
While a fourth quipped: “Versatility.”

Ugarte joined Man Utd in a £50million transfer from PSG in August.
The midfielder has since made 22 appearances for United.
The Red Devils next face Arsenal in the FA Cup third round on Sunday.
Man Utd player ratings vs Liverpool
Andre Onana – 7
Saved well from Alexis Mac Allister early on and looked strong on set-pieces – could do nothing about either goal and almost stopped Mo Salah’s penalty.
Another two saves right at the death helped his men earn a point.
Noussair Mazraoui – 7
Strong performance to help frustrate Liverpool and produced important interceptions and tackles to clear danger.
Matthijs de Ligt – 7
The Dutchman was another impressive member of the back three and seemed on a mission not to leave Anfield without a share of the spoils.
Harry Maguire – 7
Marshalled the defence well and won several big tackles and clearances.
Had his day spoiled by a yellow card for what looked to a be another great challenge and then blazed over right at the death.
Lisandro Martinez – 7
Excellent alongside the rest of the back three and finished his strike like a seasoned striker.
Diogo Dalot – 7
Played on the front foot and was an attacking threat throughout but landed himself a booking for a needless and blatant foul on Mo Salah.
Kobbie Mainoo – 7
Great defensive and compact display as he got the better of his England rival Curtis Jones in front of Thomas Tuchel.
Was only taken off after United fell behind as his manager went more offensive.
Manuel Ugarte – 6
Just got caught out of position and was punished for Cody Gakpo’s goal, which marred an otherwise hard-fought and disciplined display.
Amad Diallo – 7
Turning into a man capable of producing big moments after another crucial strike. Had messed up twice in two earlier attacks but took his goal superbly.
Bruno Fernandes – 8
The skipper was on top form for the Red Devils both defensively and with the ball.
Led his team well and fully deserved at least a point.
Rasmus Hojlund – 5
Came underfire for slack marking from Fernandes early doors then blew a big chance after beating the offside trap – a chance you NEED to take at Anfield.
Struggled to make much of an impact with the ball.
