Ugarte has struggled to get into the United team since his deadline day signing and has not impressed when playing.

Speaking on Ziggo Sport, Van Basten said: “It’s crazy how much Erik Ten Hag has decided to invest in players who aren’t even good. 

“I saw a new player transferred to Manchester, Manuel Ugarte, for €50M. How can this guy be here? It's bizarre.”

Van Basten was asked: “But you only watched two games of him so far?”

The former Netherlands international replied: "Yes, and I only needed those two games to see that he's not even worth 25 percent of that amount."
