Alejandro Garnacho has had a break-through season for Manchester United. At just 18 years old the winger has managed 12+ goal contributions across all competitions, seeing his stock rising at Old Trafford. However much of his playing time this season has been limited to appearances off the bench or in the League Cup.
But can Garnacho stake a claim to be Erik ten Hag's starting XI next season? Carl Anka joins us to take a deeper dive into the Argentine winger, and just what he needs to do to establish himself on the team sheet.

No, Garnacho works well as a spark. Sort of like the “sixth man” in basketball. Rashford and Antony work well as starters, but they need a proper centre forward. Sancho needs to start playing to his transfer fee. His performances have largely been embarrassing in the years he has been on the team.

He is quick, he is direct, he can finish decently well, he isn't too small, he gets up and carries on when kicked, not pass shy, doesn't get discouraged if something goes wrong and he reads the game well. He has a higher ceiling than Rashford does ino. Rashford either scores or does nothing. Even when Garnacho isn't scoring, he plays well.

Wonder if that was his instructions or he decided to keep doing that himself.

@mart4414 Жыл бұрын

Man United definitely need another goal threat but it might not necessarily be a starting centre forward. Would be interesting to see what Garnacho from the left, Rashford up top and a right winger that can hold the width and put crosses in/contribute goals would accomplish. Everyone is betting on a Kane type but Rashford has become more of a 9 this season, United might just need a better bench option than Weghorst and someone from the right than can consistently affect games. Garnacho is the real deal.

@joon-young9589 Жыл бұрын

As a United fan. I am so sick of our forwards of just shooting the ball. Rashford, Bruno and Antony, the game has evolved. I am so sick of this, because we are really bad at it and we don’t create enough chances in the final third to increase our chances of scoring goals. Among the top teams in the league we have over the years had really bad scoring records. As excited as l am for Garnacho l just don’t want another rashford whom just runs at players and then shoots. The news of a new striker doesn’t even fill me with much assurance because we just don’t create the opportunities for a striker.

@sanryzleck655 Жыл бұрын

I totally agree. It won’t matter who we bring in as a striker if we don’t change the way we play in the final third. We also lose a lot of control in games because we’re so poor in possession at times.

@misterbeane Жыл бұрын

Honestly, the 1 thing that is VASTLY more important than anything for United this summer is simply getting a decent striker. The biggest reason why they've relied so much on Rashford the whole season is that Weghorst and Martial are both terrible on the ball and also can't hit the ocean from the boat, so to speak. It's simple, really...when you don't have a decent target in the middle, the wingers are forced to create something out of nothing, which only Rashford has been able to do, this season at least. Bruno also hasn't had the best year, either, putting even more pressure on the wingers, and Antony still has a long way to go to break out of the mold of a "cut inside and shoot at the far corner" type of winger. Literally the only things that United have to take care of in the summer are 1) getting a striker and 2) getting at least 1 more quality mid to rotate with Eriksen. They do those things and, barring any terrible injuries or bad form, they'll be in the top 4 in the PL again and challenging in all comps. As for actually challenging for the PL or CL titles, I'd imagine they'll need at least 4-6 more WC players to have a decent shot at beating the likes of City, Madrid, Bayern, Liverpool, etc. Garnacho should continue to come off the bench at LW, allowing Sancho to go to RW and Rashford and/or the new striker to stay up top, and perhaps in another full season, he could look at being a long-term starter.

Garnacho will have a tough time starting in the NT. When Messi and Di Maria retire after the Copa America, it is likely Argentina will form with a double 9 with Martinez and Alvarez. In that case, Garnacho would have to play left midfielder/winger of a 442. Which I don't think suits him. Till now he's shown aptitude as a finisher. Not the role for the left wing of a 442. If Scaloni subs either Alvarez or Martinez, then Garnacho can play the left wing. Both Martinez and Alvarez drop back and are ideal to make the space for an inverted winger to go central and score. However, Garnacho is a long way from subbing them.

The obstacle is Rashford. He's generally poorer as a CF and still need to play at LW to thrive. Unless Rashford improve his overall game to be a good no. 9, Garnacho may one day itch for a move away. I don't rate Rashford that highly right now, he still shows he doesn't contribute much when he's outside his purple patch, but when the time comes he'll still be chosen over Garnacho just because of his passport.
