He's going to have bad performances as he's still learning. He shouldn't be written off after one performance. However, Sancho looked bright when he came on and Garnacho looked pretty weak throughout when he started. Logic would say that there is sense in swapping those two around and starting with Sancho in the next game with Garnacho as the impact sub.

He should always be the impact start until he gets more maturity in his game. I have not really see him performance in those games he started.
Sancho should start the game instead.

Absolutely awful performance. First half was just horrible. Even when we had a slight opening, Garnacho would make a poor choice, typically run into traffic, or make the wrong pass. Even helped Wolves start at least one counter-attack with a shocking pass that was intercepted.
Nothing came off for him. Absolutely nothing
Dreadful today
Pocketed with ease tonight. Expected from a youngster though, he'll learn from it.
His worst performance in a Utd shirt.
Didn’t do anything right tonight. Just completely overmatched. He’s got a lot of work in front of him if he wants to become a starter.
That was about as bad as he could have possibly played. Further reinforces that he should still be a supersub until he can refine some parts of his game. A more experienced player would have found ways to contribute even if their 1v1 take on's weren't coming off, but he seemed to get pocketed and then started fecking up even the basics.
It was weird. I saw him wince just before kick off when stretching. Then he played the worst I’ve ever seen him. Looked reluctant to run at players.
Dreadful.
Not really sure how talented he is compared to other players in his age bracket(or previous players we had in the age bracket too). I think people are jumping the gun hoping he doesn't have his head turned by Real or Barcelona at some point. He's still fairly raw in my view.

He's better off the bench against tiring defenders, and if he doesn't like returning to that role Erik can show him reruns of this game Clockwork Orange-style.
Time is on his side and he's got talent and tenacity, but there's only one way to describe his performance: Abysmal. The whole attacking set up was designed for him to receive the ball wide on the left side with two options forming a triangle, Shaw slightly behind him and Mount just ahead of him, both at the ready to play him in-behind. I doubt he passed the ball more than once to either of them. Head down, always picking the hardest option and always surrendering possession. Rinse and repeat. Under different circumstances, it could have been one of those occasions when we see a player being subbed after half an hour.
Saw that too, looked like he'd tweaked something as he stretched, or he was already carrying an injury. Also looked a little slow on the break, when the is usually rapid.
Disaterclass
Only ready to be an impact sub, not a starter.
Years ago an aging Dennis Irwin pocketed Ronaldo with ease for Wolves. Not comparing Garnacho to Ronaldo, but young wingers sometimes just get outfought and outplayed. It happens.
Semedo will not play like that every game, he's just had a good game while Garnacho was incredibly poor. He'll have better games.
Mitoma will tear Semedo a new one next week.

That's why people should be calm to claim he's like watching Ronaldo again. He's got great potential but he's got long way to go to be any close to being good enough as a regular starter. Think it was a game off from him but showed some determination so it wasn't all that bad..
They do, so people should temper their expectations of him for this season.
Semedo gets torn apart most games, there's a reason why he didn't make it at Barca.
He was very poor tonight, seemed the occasion got to him. He played without any instinct and that's not what we want from him. But he will be ok, and he will learn from that. So I have no worry about him. He's great, but a poor game.
Just be yourself.

Most worrying thing was he couldn't run with the ball. At some point he had space, and 2 defenders caught up to him with ease.
Prior to tonight, at his worst, he still runs with the ball, today Antony was legit faster than him, really odd

Yeah he's usually fecking shite. He's was just high on the new manager bounce coke tonight.
He will have a few more games like that. His touch was heavy and just couldn't get anything to work.
Used to being subbed on against tiring defenders with fresh legs.
Not ready to start for me.
I know pre-season is a different kettle of fish but he showed enough against Lens (I think it was), which made me think he might be Ok.
He was a low light in a generally poor performance tonight.
Poor game which seems the norm when he starts. Not worried about his potential though
It's this kind of game that left time unconvinced last season, bit he lost the ball with such frequency is was more worrying.
Don’t get how we seem to turn these technically gifted young players towards becoming donkeys. Same happened with Januzaj and others. That performance from him tonight was worse than anything Dan James served up. Hopefully ETH doesn’t stand for letting talent go to waste.
Agreed. Its only one game, but i do wonder if he's best coming on around 70min mark when the opposition are tiring. Not a good performance.
Dire
Should only be used as an impact sub.
On his day, he is very threatening against slow/tired defenders. But he doesnt make the side balanced at all.

Played like a kid today, and that shouldn't be a stick to beat him with. He'll light up the league this year, but he'll put in stinkers like today occasionally due to his age. Needs time and patience.
He was absolutely dreadful. You lot can bum him all you want but he was appalling.
He is 18, these games are going to happen.
People must think Ronaldo was great in every game in 03/04.
Which is fair enough but don’t start him. I love Garnacho but he was absolutely dreadful, he looked slower than Weghorst.
Reality check for him. He'll learn.
It's pretty obvious he needs to up his physical levels. Which is fine at 18. Hopefully he's dedicated enough to do that.
Also he looks like a young Nick Nolte. I can't unsee it now.

Reality check for all the United fans who keep shouting for Ten Hag to throw a load of kids in to the first team
