The criticism of a Manchester United reference to Garnacho after scoring two goals in the victory against Aston Villa

At 19 years old, Alejandro Garnacho had one of his best performances at Manchester United after scoring his first double with this shirt. The attacker's influence was crucial in the 3-2 victory against Aston Villa at Old Trafford in the Premier League, and he deserved all kinds of praise from his coach, Erik ten Hag, although it was not all praise for one of the greatest promises of the Argentine team.

After the match, Garnacho left a statement that resonated with the team: “It is one of the best days of my life.” Faced with that statement, the media asked the captain, Bruno Fernandes, his feelings, who stated with a laugh: “Alejandro Garnacho's best performance? No. I hope the best is yet to come.”

Later, the team's highest point of reference pointed out his criticism of the moles of the Bichito's presentation, since under his gaze he had the tools to perfect his performance in Manchester: “I could have scored another goal and given at least one assist. But today he was great. He was also very good defensively. He must continue.”

The former Atlético de Madrid man arrived at the club at the end of 2020 and made his debut for the Red Devils in April 2022, when he came on for a minute in the 1-1 draw against Chelsea. His appearance at the end of that season predicted greater growth this season, but it was difficult for him to add continuity after not having minutes in 13 of the first 14 Premier League games. He was taken into account again starting in November of that year and Fernandes himself explained why he had lost ground among his teammates.

Alejandro Garnacho has five goals and one assist in 25 games played this season. His greatest contributions came after not being summoned by Lionel Scaloni to the double date of the South American Qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil last November. If he continues at this level, he will have a serious chance of being called up by the Albiceleste for the friendlies in March.
