The Uruguayan was alongside Kobbie Mainoo in midfield and put in an all-action display.
"He's probably done better than I thought he would do," Scholes told Premier League Productions.
"He (coach Ruben Amorim) said before that Ugarte did well for him at Sporting Lisbon, as a really young player as well so he knows him.
"This lad is really growing in confidence. I thought he took up some great positions, he helped defensively, he helped with the attack and I thought he had the composure to take the ball as well. It looks to me like it has to be him with another."
