Milton Keynes Dons in the second round of the League Cup. After the match, Manager Koeman praised Ramírez after he showed signs of an improvement in his discipline. A month later on 25 October 2015, Ramírez made his first league appearance for the club, where he provided an assist for Sadio Mané, in a 1–1 draw against Liverpool. In the January transfer window, however, Koeman told him that he could leave the club and he subsequently joined Middlesbrough. He went on to make three appearances for Southampton in the 2015–16 season. At the end of the season, Ramírez was among four players to be released by the club. The Southern Daily Echo reported that Southampton made a £21 million loss on Ramírez and that he had cost them £8000 a minute. After being released by Southampton, he reportedly returned to Uruguay, re-joining Peñarol, due to contractual complications. Hull City (loan) On 1 September 2014, Ramírez was loaned to fellow Premier League club, Hull City. Ramírez stated that he had joined the club to show Hull City's supporters what he can do. Two weeks later he made his debut at the KC Stadium, replacing fellow debutant Mohamed Diamé for the final 11 minutes of a 2–2 draw against West Ham United. Ramírez was given a straight red card for kicking Tottenham Hotspur's Jan Vertonghen in Hull's 1–2 home defeat on 23 November. He scored once in 22 games for the Tigers – equalising in a 3–1 win at Sunderland on 26 December with a 30–yard strike, before assisting James Chester's header via a corner kick. Ramírez then provided an assist for David Meyler to score Hull City's only goal in a 1–1 draw against Manchester City on 7 February 2015. However, as the 2014–15 season progressed, Ramírez suffered two injuries and Hull City were relegated at the end of the season. Middlesbrough On 26 January 2016, Ramírez joined Championship side Middlesbrough on loan until the end of the season, when his Southampton contract was due to expire. He made his debut on 9 February in a 1–1 draw at MK Dons, and two weeks later he scored his first Boro goal, giving them the lead in a 3–1 win against Cardiff City at the Riverside Stadium. On 4 March, he struck both goals in a 2–1 home win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, putting his team on top of the Championship table. Ramírez
