RE: How Good is Ugarte? What the "Midfield Ball-Winning Machine" with Clear Strengths and Weaknesses Can Bring to Manchester United
This article is way too similar to the one I found on The Athletic. While paraphrasing takes the overall plagiarism out of the checker you may be using, the article itself is still almost identical, with different wording. Paraphrasing entails expressing others' ideas in your own words, so a citation must be provided. The ideas are still the author's, and credit must be given. In this case, you've passed this off as 100% your article, which it is not. As a new community of sports writers, we have to enforce that standard. Either backspace/delete the contents of the article and start over, or leave it blank and save it. This is your warning on this subject!

That's not enough. If you were writing an article of your own (not paraphrased), you would link back to that article. The screenshots/graphs directly from the Athletic need to be linked; the link at the bottom of the article fulfills that need. However, the actual pictures are copywritten and not usable. I told you in the comments of another article how to fix that. You must follow these instructions and fix this...all writers in the world live by the rules I'm telling you here.
