He might. But the higher he gets (and confidence-level seems to an oldschool guy like me already borderline-too-high) the harder the impact will be when he falls. And this will happen - would be the first football ever to never experience a setback. Not against him getting the 7 shirt at some point. But lets make sure he isn't on a Januzaj trajectory before we put unnecessary pressure on him. He's 18 ffs. I'd argue the club would look a bit desperate if the would be given to somebody so young.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.

I think it gives us the options to rotate a bit. I expect ETH will see Rashford-Martial-Antony as our first choice attack, but instead of bringing on Wout (although he had a decent cameo himself today to be fair) to protect Martial it'll be Garnacho with Rashford moving upfront. With only four games left in the season I'm guessing Garnacho will probably only start one of them.
Don't want to go overboard but if he doesn't win 5-6 ballon d'Or in the next 10 years I'd be really surprised.
He's proof of why we should listen to our scouts more and stop indulging our managers.
Surely he’s rinsing everyone in training? Nailed on starter once fully fit. So happy he signed that contract.
Would make sense given that he has literally trained with both Ronaldo and Messi this year alone.
An attacking option who can be trusted in front of goal!? Tears in my f'n eyes right now!
Dare we dream?
It was Gerardo Guzman who discovered him in Spain and it was then ratified by the head of youth recruitment David Harrison. Harrison was poached from Man City and Guzman from Atletico Madrid.
Rather build around that left wing with him in mind long term, he also should be getting some international caps soon which means training with Messi and the like so hopefully that rubs off on him.
Couldn't wait to take his top off and show his amazing chest tattoo 
He's got new gnashers yeah.

I don’t think @Adnan has that sort of authority
Yep. Days after signing a new contract — what could it all mean?
Not sure why people bring Januzaj up when comparing with Garnacho, he was very under whelming for me and never lived up to the hype from day 1. Garnacho looks the real deal.
I was joking as it seems to have been a curse in recent years.
Is he going to the U20 world cup? Hope not we need him for the FA cup final
The prices being quoted for Evan Ferguson proves that this is correct.
Struck gold with this one I'm sure.
Great pace, good with the ball, composed and just the right amount of cocky

What a difference it makes having a player who makes those direct runs, and can actually reliably finish from them (looking at you Rashford).
Wants to change shirts, he wants Real Madrid as symbolised by his very white skin. One goal and already his mind is else where. Typical
Do we really know which players are scouting recommended and which are manager picks against scouting advice? I read somewhere that Maguire was not endorsed by the scouts but who knows if that’s even true? Do you have particular players in mind?
Gas that even having a good young player performing some will use it as a chance to have a pop at the club.
We’ve missed this little fecker
Impact sub
Pace off the bench is massive
So did Dybala and Di Maria earlier in their career.
We can stop pretending that Sancho will turn good and play Garnacho on the left and stick Rashford upfront when Martial inevitably gets injured again.
His injury had a massive impact on our ability to make good impactful substitutes.
Of course he will need to translate his impact to starting appearances if and when he is selected as a regular starter, but right now his pace and enthusiasm off the bench is like gold.

Very valid point. Everybody talkig about rotation and being qan understudy...which he is at the moment. But mid term, his consistency of finishing if he continues to progress is much better than Rashfords.
The form of Rashford since Christmas until about six weeks ago was world class, the form of Rashford for the majority of the tim ebefore hand and the last six weeks, Garnacho offers just as much if not more and can take his place in a starting eleven
Rashford can finish them when he’s in form. Unfortunately his forms tends to go on runs of being great to utterly infuriating.
Semedo is no slouch. Hope we make sure he’s on the best programme possible to maximize his pace, he’s going on to pack on some muscle in the next few years… might be worth getting Usain bolt in for proper guidance
There's a marked difference when you can call on a player like Garnacho from the bench. We've been one paced for ages, he gives us something different.
Definitely not.
He’s that guy. God we’ve needed one.
Already our most composed finisher.
Begs the question why he didn’t get 10 minutes against West Ham when we really needed a goal.
But I thought Murtough and the recruitment didn't do anything, how is this possible?
I think, "people" is a bit too much as I haven't seen anybody except me using the name. And for the record, with Januzaj, people as well thought he'd be the real deal. Only for PL defenders to prepare for him and him not capable of raising his level above. Not a dig at Januzaj. But young players are curious things - I am happy, we have Garnacho, lets try to be as reasonable as possible. Will get more than enough attention by United fans, giving him a famous number will bring him attention of rival fans just as well. And iirc he already showed that public pressure gets to him - let him grow and mature. If nr.7 shirt stays in reserve for a little longer, so be it.
Very accurate strike. 2 more centimeters to the right, and it wouldn’t have gone in off the post.
Like Diego Milito in UCL final
