Ugarte was asked for a definition of ‘garra charrúa’.
He told manutd.com: “It's about fighting for every ball like it was your very last.
“It's something totally natural that you find in Uruguayan players and it's down to lots of things: the background and context we've played in and because there are so few of us.
“Uruguay is a tiny country, but it's won and achieved a lot.
“It produces good players and this is also down to that 'garra charrúa’, which means basically giving everything you've got, no matter what the situation.”
Ugarte added: “I feel that I'm decent at winning the ball back but that I can also be very good in possession too.
“Of course, there are things I can improve upon, but what better place is there to be doing that than here?”
