Sorry, I realise I didn't make it clear - Norwood usually tweets when we are signing somebody (and may have previously done so regarding contracts). He very rarely tweets otherwise, and it is always a bit cryptic, so I'm pretty sure it's regarding that.
Saw his celebration more as a message to ETH - that he should be on the pitch, because look what he can do. He was looking towards the dugout as he pointed at himself and then the pitch…
That celebration looked more like a copy of one of Ronaldo's more than any thing else.
I guess he can hold smoke, whatever that means. He missed some chances in the last game and he was considered to have played poorly, vs most Martial games where he's basically invisible. I'd rather we have a 'bad' Garnacho game over most other players bad games. People are reactionary idiots
Currently better off the bench. Very nice cameo
That first touch was brilliant. Was exactly what he needed after some tricky games recently
Happy that he scored today after all the stick he got last game.
Start against Barca.
Atletico have a very good youth system too... As a kid you go where you go. Not like every youngster goes to the biggest team always. Point is that he is from Madrid, and if he becomes good enough, it wouldn't surprise me if he did go there one day. Who knows if he'll ever be good enough for that. But most players aren't one club players, even if they are good enough to be at that club forever and the club is good enough for them. At a certain point some just want to move and try a new challenge. I could see Garnacho being one of those, if he turns into an elite player.
So refreshing to see a young winger who’s so direct. Exceptional.
Wouldn't worry too much about it. Madrid have Vinicius in his position who's quite young himself. And if Garnacho ever becomes good enough that Madrid plan on replacing Vini with him, then we'll definitely make good money on him and win a few trophies in the process. So better to just enjoy the kid's development.
Yep for sure! Was just saying it like I could see him being one of those who one day leaves, but if he does reach that level, then I hope we manage to keep him for at least half his prime. You look at Ronaldo and while we did get 6 good years out of him... He left at 23. Way too soon. Certain players like Rashford you are confident with they'll never leave as long as they're wanted and appreciated. I'd guess Garnacho is in the other boat where he would one day like to move on to a Spanish giant if he's good enough.
Very nice finish today, off the near post.
Silenced a few people today.
I wonder if at the moment our best front three is Antony - Rashford - Garnacho.
Id prefer a top striker and rashford on left and obviously love sancho to hit top form but right now these feel like our most dangerous attackers
I truly can't understand the criticism of him I think he's exceptional and love how direct he is

At 18 he is already better than Adama Traore in that regard, I can't imagine how good this kid will be when he hits his prime.
I think it's probably:
Sancho-Rashford-Antony with Garnacho to come on, or:
Rashford-Martial-Antony and then Garnacho comes on for Martial if we're winning and there's space in behind, and if we're losing probably Sancho and you tell Sabitzer to make more late runs into the box.
He's mint. I don't want to be too presumptuous about his top level, but we need to get that contract signed. Feels like he's got another couple of levels in him.
18 years old. People need to remember this.

Garnacho will improve tremendously as he grows and gets stronger. His game is very natural.
Gnonto's did the same against us at OT, felt one of our players would do the same if they scored and Garnacho did that.. I thought it was to annoy Leeds fans as well
Not sure it's so clear-cut with this kid. Born in Madrid but he chose to play for Argentina?! How much allegiance does he really have to any one place? It's now his formative years -- like DDG, maybe if he stays long enough he would feel at home in Manchester?
I am looking forward to see him starting in more games. He clearly has talent but sooner or later we really need to find a way to start him with Rashford, probably with Rashford leading the line?
Go read the last few pages again, a lot of the posts were not constructive at all.
Hopefully we kept that fax machine then!
Always nice to see our young players get themselves a goal like that. Hopefully more to come from him, and he keeps improving, as he is entertaining to watch.
The thing I like about Garnacho is he gets into positions of scoring a goal or two every game, although not necessarily scoring them all the time. If he can convert the chances at his disposal at a better rate, he's going to be absolutely lethal. Our most exciting talent in a decade.
what he doesn't need to do or get is arrogant and cocky.....just play the game, learn and keep your mouth shut
Erik stated that for forward players it is about goals and assists and Alejandro came on and answered in kind.
This kid gets you out of your seat when he is on the ball....proper Manchester United player

Antony must wind you up big time then?
Players won’t want to leave a club where they’re thriving. Eventually he might want to return home 6 yrs on etc but you get a top price and replace him
As I’ve said before I think we should run with him starting off the left and Rashford upfront.
I think we lack pace in behind with a front 3 of Rashford, Weghorst & Sancho. You need at least 2 with pace in behind imo.

These two points hit the nail on the head and it’s basically a rerun of Ronaldo vs Ashley Cole. All things equal It is far easier as a defender to just stop the ball/man, than it is as an attacker to beat the man and create something.
The fact he does create and does so at a fairly good rate bodes well for the future. He has a lot of physical and mental development ahead of him and then cloggers like Ayling won’t touch him.
Garnacho Rashford Sancho is the best available front three at the moment, but his impact off the bench is also something we need in games, curious to see if he starts in Barcelona - I don't think he will.
I doubt he will be at utd for a long time. He will most likely follow the route of uncle Ronaldo. So let's enjoy his youthfulness and hope he maximises his full potential in future. Great talent.

It really is phenomenal when these players pop up from the academy - we basically have one more quality forward than I expected going in. This guy just seems to "have it". Great ability and right kind of mentality, it seems.
It does look like his pace still surprises the league, which he is able to exploit. For both his goal yesterday and the one against Fulham, it looks like the defenders either react too late or take the wrong angle, because they are simply not expecting his raw pace.
