1st let's understand Mainoo's viz-
Mainoo excels in popping up with goals, secure on ball, able to beat defenders but he lacks at progressive passing (used to advancing with ball rather than passing) struggles aerially and average across the defensive actions.

Ugarte excels in defensive intensity (aggressive) and is very secure with his passes but makes few progressive passes.
Zubimendi is the better progressive passer. Defensively he doesn't charge as much but is reasonably good. Also, efficient with dribbling (retains the ball)

Out of possession [especially pressing], Ugarte is a better choice except he will leave his position & it shows in his dribblers tackled% [prev].
In-possession, Zubimendi adds the much needed progressive passing. Likely to hold position either with the ball or in defending.

Tactically as well, MU needs someone to be more measured in their decision to engage or hold position. One of the biggest issue has been getting dribbled through the middle where Zubimendi has a better success rate. Both are valued around the same range (RC~Fee~Installments).
Playing with an attacking midfielder also requires fielding a holder to anchor the midfield trio.
In an ideal scenario getting both would be perfect but between them- Zubimendi has the possession and defensive qualities to compliment Mainoo better.
Conclusion- get Zubimendi!!
