Unless he improves his use of the ball, I don't think he'll survive for long under Amorim
He is part of the reason and normally the biggest culprit why we have scored 9 goals in 10 games this season. His finishing, decision making is currently terrible, he is also very selfish and lightweight. In terms of strength of the PL, there are very few games, where you will have 4 to 5 glaring chances for one single player to allow him to stat pad and score goals.
He has also missed some very easy chances against Fulham, Brighton etc. His shooting technique is wrong, he never gets enough power on his shots. plus he does not have the variety, most of his shots are aimed at far post.
The funny thing is, he is not the only one, the front line Hojlund and Rashford also needs a few chances, so you can easily understand why we have low/negative goal difference or we rarely win any match by 4 goals plus or even in the matches we do well, we keep the other team in the match (like Westham away), whereas for other top teams, the goals are merely consolations.

A bit of spark in the last 10, horrendous up to that point, in every respect.
fecking disgraceful performance, intelligence and ability both at rock bottom
Him seemingly the first name on the team sheet and heavily relied on for a source of goals at 20 I think it's unfair and poor squad building by United.
I'll bite. Tell me what he's shown to say he has world class potential.
.
I mean I just don’t think he’s “brilliant” though. He’s capable of brilliant actions but I’ve never watched a full Garnacho 90 minutes and thought he was the best player on the pitch , which is something you normally see in true top prospects from time to time.
Hes amazing at getting shots off. Constantly finds himself in dangerous positions, very intelligent movement and a very professional attitude. A lot of these things can't really be taught.
I'm not saying he's going to be world class. There is a lot he needs to work on. But I'd go as far to say that his max potential is around that level.
All depends on whether he can kick on. He's still only 20!
I agree the bolded part is the most pressing concern. I think Garnacho has ability but he's reminiscent of the 5-12 year old typical dribble merchant on FIFA who probably has the camera angle panned to one player and doesn't see the rest of the game.
No game intelligence whatsoever, It's not something I think he'll grow into either as he doesn't have the technical floor to distribute the ball clean and effectively.
Red Dead without the Redemption.
Can’t dribble, can’t pass, just a selfish pace merchant with average shooting technique and shit decision making.
Someone close to him who cares about him should advise him to get back to basics and build from there.
Also you’re never gonna be Ronaldo or even Rashford.

He is the best of an average bunch...not his fault that at 19/20 years old he has no senior player ahead of him in the pecking order to show him how it's done.
Frustrating! Yes he is young and he would improve but I don't think he deserves first 11 ahead of Amad.
He actually doesn't have much pace tbh.
Honestly he's not that great
He's a bang average footballer with an occassional spark. He's got time on his side to improve his decision making though.
Do we have time or room to accommodate it though?
In a weird way I think this is one of his biggest problems. He seems to think he has elite level pace but then seems surprised when he can't run past players.
That moment where he should have passed to Amad earlier, any player should pass there but if it was a 20 year old Rashford turning on the burners then he would probably get clear from the full back and he'd have either Amad or Zirkzee to square it to.
He's showing his age, great one week and absolute shite the next. Should get better in time.
That's not his fault.
He's inconsistent as are most at his age. He's still doing more than most in this team, and that is not his fault. The seniors should be taking the brunt of the burden but they aren't so he is trying harder than he probably should.
Garnacho isn't the problem, he is an exciting talent that is quite disgraceful what some are saying here. The team being reliant on him doing something special is not a pressure he really needs at this time in his career and that is a failure of management, not him.
Do we have time to wait? What do you think is his ceiling?
If we have aspirations to get back to an eilite level is he even good enough, we need to be more ruthless.
We'll be lucky if he does. He's so far off Rashford even at 20, it's actually incredible. He needs to drop the superstar attitude, recognize that he's actually one of the youngest in the squad and work on his very obvious flaws. I don't understand why he's suddenly become untouchable in the squad while Rashford is stuck on the RW and gets subbed off first every single game.
I'm not sure posting the dictionary definition of an occasional spark does much to disprove the post you quoted.
He only looks an exciting talent because the rest of the team around him is fecking dross mate. I think many are starting to realise that his level isn't really that high.
Have a read back through my post and try to find me saying he is like Ronaldo?
I merely used the example of a world class player to illustrate that any player can be infuriating a poor at decision making as a youngster. My point was about the lack of leadership and example in our squad - not a point about Garnacho being as talented as Ronaldo.
As for this nonsense, he's just been shortlisted for the Golden Boy award and has been behind several moments of absolute magic at a very young age. Forgive me if I don't take the lashing out of a few Redcafe keyboard warriors, butthurt after a frustrating result as footballing gospel just yet.
He's a kid - he's not supposed to be world class yet. He's also trying to break through in a side that has made bona fide world class stars look bang average in recent seasons.
The Caf has always had hysterical fannies, but it feels like the fringe has become the entire haircut these days.
He definitely can dribble. He dribbled past Reece James a couple of times in the second half today. He's a skilful dribbler who has gotten the better of some top full backs.
Also, on his current trajectory, as a 20 year old, he's well on course to be a more effective winger than Rashford.
We don’t have time to wait and it’s also unfair on him starting each week, same for Mainoo
A good winger would help us and help Garnacho
No fecking way.
Yes majority of young players are consistently inconsistent. Nearly scored another world class goal today but really fluffed his lines with that big chance 2nd half when set up by Bruno.
That's up to Amorim to sort it out. He can definitelly be developed into a useful workhorse if he's willing to learn.
Have you got that out of your system now?
His decision making and selfishness is terrible at times but i can see why he starts. It's like choosing your poison picking our forwards at the moment and he is our top scorer.
There aren't too many bang average players scoring goals like that in the PL. He is our most productive player this season, and being overplayed. he'll be fine.
Like saying he's our tallest dwarf.
We'd need more players bollocking each other for shit decision making. Keane used to do it, Rio used to do it. There is nothing wrong with it as a wake-up call on pitch to pull your head out of your arse and focus.
