Yahoo Sports 84% pass accuracy, 4 shots: Man Utd ace reminds INEOS of his phenomenal talent after 7/10 display vs Rangers – Opinion
Manchester United registered a dramatic 2-1 victory over Rangers in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.
A freak own goal from Rangers’ goalkeeper Jack Butland gave Man United the lead after the break.
Cyriel Dessers’ clinical strike leveled things up for Rangers in the 88th minute.
However, Bruno Fernandes sealed the win for United, blasting a finish into the net during added time.
United are now in a strong position to qualify automatically for the last 16 of the competition.
While Fernandes and Lisandro Martinez grabbed the headlines, Alejandro Garnacho shone with a lively performance.
As the left number 10, he was United’s most dangerous attacking threat in the first half.
Garnacho fired off four shots, testing Butland with two powerful attempts.
His ball distribution was spot on, with just five misplaced passes out of 32.
The 20-year-old also delivered a key pass and rattled the woodwork.
With blistering pace and nimble feet, he effortlessly breezed past defenders several times.
He displayed his explosive acceleration and skills that should be enough for INEOS to keep him at Old Trafford.
He deservedly got 7/10 in our post-match player ratings.
Garnacho has been heavily linked with an exit in the current January transfer window.
Napoli have already made an offer whereas Chelsea are contemplating testing United’s resolve in the coming days.
The Red Devils have reportedly lowered their demands for Garnacho and are ready to sanction his exit for a fee around £55 million.
However, this fee falls far short of reflecting his true potential.
While he may be inconsistent at times, that’s a natural byproduct of his youth.
INEOS must avoid the costly mistake of cashing in on a player who has shown glimpses of brilliance over the past two years.
Selling to Chelsea would be an even bigger mistake, as it would only serve to strengthen a direct rival.
