Garnacho is our most dangerous player , with him you always expect something to happen . Only 20 years old and we have to be more patient with him .

You sure you are not talking about Amad? How the hell is Garmacho more dangerous than probably the only player in our team who can and consistently tried to dribble past opponents?
 
He got some behavioural flaws highlighted by his youth marid coaches, on top of that his agent/brother's influence is not good too.

I like him though but I got the impression in last few games that he doesnt suit to Amorim's system,
Instead of having a spoilt brat in this team, better we sell him now for profit and bring in a more hard working team player.

Wondering if you guys are OK to sell Mainoo too as he seems very slow in the midfield
 
I know I was advocating selling at a good price but I like the kid and rather he stayed now :lol:
 
We have a poor team, but he is one of the 'better' ones. Scored that amazing overhead kick that lfited his value/repuation beyond what it should be. I remember Macheda scored a fantastic goal against Aston Villa and simila hype because of it. Will the same thing happen to Garnacho? Who knows... Should we sell. Yeah, why not...

I want him to stay but if someone wants to stump up £70m + I get why we'd sell. I do think we should be looking at our attack and wondering how Garnacho isn't playing more given the issues with scoring and creating - surely we can play him in the LWB or even left 10 role. He has many flaws but he is an attacking talent.

we need more bodies in advanced areas, we can't be building play with 5 at the back and 2 deep CMs, we need to take a bit of risk - whether that is putting Garnacho at LWB or even at 10 or even Amorim sacking the 10 idea off temporarily to play Amad RW and Garnacho LW given the issue we have with WBs.
 
Man Utd 2:1 Rangers New
Overall a better game from him, but he needs to stop going for the shot every time, his finishing is just not good.

But that game also showed why he isn't gonna work in this formation, he played the entire game as a winger and not a 10, he was closer to the touchline than our wingbacks were. And I doubt Amorims offensive plan is for Malacia to underlap and play as the 10.
 
I like him a lot and still enjoy seeing his directness. We don't have enough players who carry a threat. He was unlucky not to get a goal today.
 
Motm he’s just a kid 20 years old. Garnacho , Ugarte , De Lit , Amad , Mazraoui are unsaleable .

To be fair, Amad does pretty much the same thing when he plays as one of the AMs (stays wide).
 
I'd only sell him if we're getting £70m and have a world class replacement lined up.

Same, he'll get better. Needs to use his body better like Amad does.

If we sell him without replacement our none existent attack will become extinct.
 
I don’t want to sell Garnacho. He’s still young enough to develop further.

It all’s depends what we do with the money and who we sell to.

We surely can’t be selling to Chelsea again.

If we use the money to buy an unproven Dorgu etc, we are idiots.

If you’re gonna cash in on Garnacho, the money has to go on a striker or top wing backs for fecks sake
 
See? He doesn’t care about the system he played like a winger so we end up with the wingback coming inside to keep the balance. That’s an issue.
 
I’d still sell him for 70 million + if it was offered, because tonight shows he’s clearly a winger and not a ten, but was a great threat tonight.
 
His best game of the season? Ineffective as per usual, but at least today he passed when he should and shot when he should. Very lively and his press work was excellent.
 
The only way anyone should be happy with selling him is if they know he’ll be replaced with the finished article. The risk of the money from his sale being wasted is too high.
 
I'm not happy we're going to sell him (though probably have to to get some money) but some overrating his performance tonight. Could've scored, was decent but nothing special.

He's kinda of a direct winger that United have had many times and is enjoyable to watch but guess it could be coming to an end.

His first PL goal for United was Fulham away. Perhaps his last could be there as well.
 
His finishing is horrific and he gets knocked off the ball a bit too easily, but he's always lively.
 
Better, but still missed two sitters and lost the ball anytime he is asked to engage with his back to play.

Have to agree.

On the plus side he adds a lot of thrust, he's dangerous and occupies defenders. He's also young so you hope for and expect improvement.

However, he takes a lot of shots and a lot of them don't even hit the target. That's difficult to accept when our centre forwards are crying out for service.

Also tonight reemphasized that Garnacho is a winger. He's happiest pulling out wide with a wingback or fullback inverting so he can get 1v1s in the space. That's the position he's most comfortable in and where his game flows most naturally. If Amorim really is the future I don't know where that leaves Garnacho long term.

Ole would have loved this kid though.
 
Mixed bag. Some good. Some shit. Would take 50m tomorrow before he's worth half that in the summer. Massive holes in his game.
