The fact he tries it repeatedly shows how his game is improving, before he would always cut inside and shoot. I think his delivery has been really good but Hojlund/Zirkzee make it look worse by never being in the right place. With a decent striker you should be able to put the ball into a good area and expect them to be there.

Trying something different with a low success rate doesn't show his game is improving, only that he's not very effective at multiple things.
Our strikers aren't the best for being in good positions, that's fair, but Garnacho's delivery is still erratic, as he only gets into the position to deliver the ball if he has his head down; if his head is up he'll either lose the ball or be forced back.
Another Assist tonight, add it to the tally for the season (14G/A) feels like he could of had a Goal or Assist in every match recently.
Sure he has a tonne to learn, but he is one of the brighter students in the class for sure.

A really good performance today I thought.
It looks like he put his head down, and accept he needs to work and learn and improve.
It will end up being good that he is for sale. Not only is he making himself more expensive, he's allowing to club to reject offers at will.
We stood our ground on buys with Dorgu, will do the same on sales with Garnacho.

He's our second most dangerous player. Selling him would be a mistake for a side that is so blunt in attack.
Starting to agree - there are emerging signs of a player with improving game intelligence. I still think he's a bit basic technically, slightly one trickish, but he appears to have made progress these last weeks und Amorim.
He’s always dangerous. We know his technical game can often be sub par but if he can work really hard at improving his final third work he could be a very good player regardless as his movement is quality.
I’m far from his biggest fan and would sell him for the right fee (min. 80m which is what we would be quoted if we wanted to sign him) if we could get someone else in, but as of now, he’s the only player in the squad who can occasionally beat a defender and create a chance.
Amad?
At our current state of affairs, Garnacho is worth to us 100m pounds. We are so toothless even with him in the team, removing him would be a suicide (an Amad injury and we'd struggle to score a goal).
That’s fair. Totally forgot him.
Sounds like Amorim really likes him. And sounds like he’s knuckled down and upped his game post being left out the derby. Incredible that he was able to do that but a much more experienced Rashford wasn’t…
Anyway, he’ll deffo stay now and im glad he is. Would have been fuming if we sold him to Chelsea.

Hopefully has a good game with goal contributions today

Take whatever Chelsea will pay and run.
Horrendous.

Average player. No standout quality and i mean not a single one apart from running in a straight line. He's fairly quick as well. That's it. In an ideal world he'd be coming off the bench for 5-10 min cameos, but he's supposed to be our savior on the left right now....we're in big trouble.
Was good against a Romanian team, maybe Boehly only saw that game and still bids.
Such a toxic forum.
Argentine Dan James. Kick and run winger that offers little threat against quality opposition.
Statistically the worst player on the pitch.
But yes anyone who believes he's not good enough for United is "toxic".
Unfortunately you're not allowing to criticise any youth products on here, just take Rashford as case in point.
This lad is absolutely bang average and offered nothing.

Poor yet again, gets into good positions, then offers as much threat as Traore.
Conservative and measured which is a good thing compared to his spamming of take-ons. Unfortunately, the rest of his game is below par.
I've still not seen anything other than the occasionally nice goal, to suggest he's United standard. He can't play in this system because he can't play either A: striker, B: number 10 position, or C: wing back.
So why do we need him?

I just don’t see why he’s unsellable.
Currently none of them are United standard or we wouldn’t be were we are right now.
"He gets Old Trafford of its feet". He doesn't. Only when he pops up with a goal. Because he can't beat players.
Wingers have to beat players routinely. I do like how he is going to the byline but we need more.
We are putting too much pressure on young players. He still should be an impact sub and managed carefully.

He tried today and was OK but really their defender had every inch of him covered all day long.
Of course he can. He beat his man a few times today.
We've been complaining he only wants to dribble and shoot. Now he's starting to get crosses into the box...and there's no fecker there. Should have had one absolutely certain assist and potentially a couple more.
He was the only player on that pitch who looked like he wanted to try and make something happen. Only one in a red shirt anyway.
Missed the game today, where did he play?
Left 10
Left inside forward/ winger
Left wing.
If he plays against a quick/strong full back then he really struggles.
The contrast in agility/jinkyness (if that's a word) between him and Amad is severe.
Most full backs are wary of Amad running at them while most full backs are just like; "Gimme that." when Garnacho faces them up.

Why doesn't he get a chance at LWB?
Does Amroim only used inverted wingback at RWB like he did with Quenda?
Garnacho is starting to cross very well and seems to be more suited to LWB than at LAM in the long term.
He seems to have upped his work rate aswell.

Would really like to see that as well. Would give him a lot more space to operate and would stretch the game for others as well.
Don't see it happening now though, especially since we've got Dorgu.
I mean Dorgu was playing RW this season mate.
With Dalot, Dorgu, Amad, Garnacho we have 4 very good wingback options imo, players that can play on both sides aswell as some attacking options.
The first few games I noticed Amad was defending better than say Garnacho but I don't think the difference is that different now to give Garnacho to try that position.
AJ analysis on YouTube made a video about why Mazroui struggles at RWB because he is receiving the ball on his right foot which forces him to cut inwards rather than someone who is more left footed able to take players on both the outside and inside of the pitch.
This is something Amorim has talked about though, how he wants Garnacho to learn how to take players on both the inside and the outside of the pitch so maybe it's just a development tactic until we get an LAM that's more suited to his tactics & then we might see Garnacho at LWB.
Dorgu - Ugarte - Bruno - Garnacho
Would give us two inverted wingback.
RA has very seldom used 2 inverted wing backs at the same time, at Sporting. Could be lack of options, but he also prefers that for balance.
Dorgu's primary position is LB and that's where he's had most of his appearances, I believe the only reason he played RW was due to injuries at Lecce. And I highly doubt we finally get a left footed LWB to play him on the right, that's what we've struggled with most this season.
I know this is what has me worried because Amorim's preferred winger at wingback choice seems to come from the right hand side of the pitch.
I'm unsure why it has to be on the right only but why it can't happen on the left hand side of the pitch instead.
