It has been advised to Manchester United not to place all of their expectations in Alejandro Garnacho this season.
The quick-footed Argentine prodigy has already made a splash in the Premier League after excelling for the Academy last season when they won the FA Youth Cup. In just seven appearances in the Premier League this season, Garnacho has contributed directly to three goals.
In the closing minutes of the epic Manchester derby victory over Manchester City on Saturday afternoon, he once again impressed, setting up Marcus Rashford for what ultimately proved to be the game-winning goal. While that cameo served to emphasize his promise, Erik ten Hag has been informed that United would gain from keeping the kid.However, while that cameo further underlined his promise, Erik ten Hag has been told United would benefit from holding the teenager back – at times.
In a BonusCodeBets promotion, Liverpool FC icon John Barnes was questioned about Garnacho. He stated: “Garnacho has tremendous talent and promise. He is lively and quick on the ball.
“To guarantee that United finishes in the top four, though, you shouldn’t look to these young players. He joined a team that is currently playing in unison and as a unit.
“He will benefit from that. But he needs to be taken care of, and he should come and go from the team.”
You must give him time and refrain from exaggerating how talented he is, Barned continued.
Garnacho, who joined Old Trafford in 2020 from Atletico Madrid, made his senior debut under Ralf Rangnick last year. Since then, he has made 17 appearances across all leagues, tallying two goals and five assists, and each time he lacing on his boots, his status keeps rising.
