As soon as the 2024/25 Premier League season ends, Ugarte and Garnacho will immediately return to South America to join up with the Uruguay and Argentina national teams, preparing for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. After that, both may fly to Malaysia and Hong Kong to join up with the MU squad for pre-season friendlies.

Not stopping there, the "Red Devils" also plan to tour Sweden and the US next summer, which means Garnacho and Ugarte will have to continue traveling a long journey with few days of rest.

The Times estimates that if both players participated in all the matches in MU's current schedule, the duo's travel distance would span 4 continents with a total length of more than 120,000 km.

According to Goal , this is a "terrible schedule" for a professional footballer to endure. In the current season, Garnacho has made 48 appearances for club and country, while Ugarte has also reached the 40-match mark. Both will easily surpass the 50-match mark in the remaining part of the season.

Normally, summer is a time for players to relax and recharge. But with today's packed schedule, top stars are finding less and less time to rest after a stressful season.

MU will play Leeds United in Stockholm (Sweden) on July 19. After that, the team will have 3 matches against West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton in the US. The 2025/26 Premier League season is expected to start on August 16.

MU will return to play in the 2024/25 Premier League on April 2, facing Nottingham Forest.

Bruno Fernandes shined on the day MU won big against Leicester. In the early morning of March 17, Bruno scored 1 goal and 2 assists to help MU defeat host Leicester 3-0 in round 29 of the Premier League.
