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

 

[Licha-Vidic]

Such a shame such a 'talent' can not be integrated into the team

 

[VP89]

I know I was advocating selling at a good price but I like the kid and rather he stayed now

 

[We Are Manchester United]

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...

 

[Fortitude]

Please take transfer talk to the dedicated transfer thread.

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.

 

[Gaidal]

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.

 

[M Bison]

No way we should be even considering letting him leave, if he was at a competitor we'd be crying out for someone like him.

 

[Superunknown]

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.

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

Solid today. Didn't really do anything to change my opinion of him but it was nice to see him run at a fullback with some success again.

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

Viva Garnacho. Criminal if INEOS sell him to Chelsea. Disgusting if it happens.

 

[CallyRed]

Good bye sweet prince

 

[Raven]

Best performance in a while, fair play to him.

 

[Beachryan]

Did he get MOTM? Seemed most likely candidate.

 

[MikeUpNorth]

Played well when the pressure was on him.

 

[Albo]

Motm he’s just a kid 20 years old. Garnacho , Ugarte , De Lit , Amad , Mazraoui are unsaleable .

 

[Pirlo'sBeard]

I'd only sell him if we're getting £70m and have a world class replacement lined up.

 

[Robbie Boy]

Good game.

 

[Idxomer]

He has been better in the last few games, seems like Amorim is getting to him.

 

[M Bison]

I'd only sell him if we're getting £70m and have a world class replacement lined up.

We wont have, i'm pretty certain of that!

To be fair, Amad does pretty much the same thing when he plays as one of the AMs (stays wide).

 

[Squeaky_Bum_Time]

Did he get MOTM? Seemed most likely candidate.

Probably Bruno. But he was up there with him. Linked up really well with Dalot, rangers struggled with that side especially in the first half.

 

[Yoro]

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.

 

[Stobzilla]

Better, but still missed two sitters and lost the ball anytime he is asked to engage with his back to play.

 

[Pav1878]

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

 

[the hea]

He's clearly a talented player but he still has some major flaws in his game that he needs to overcome if he wants to reach the next level.

 

[Hip Hop]

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.

 

[Baneofthegame]

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.

 

[Red00012]

Played well and could / should have scored

Hence this thread is quiet

 

[Dve]

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.

 

[Maclooch]

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.

 

[Irwin99]

Had a good game and seems to be very professional amid all this speculation.

 

[BorisManUtd]

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.

 

[AndyMUFC]

His finishing is horrific and he gets knocked off the ball a bit too easily, but he's always lively.

 

[bosnian_red]

I'd only sell him if we're getting £70m and have a world class replacement lined up.

To be honest the only player I could see is signing is Cunha. But more likely is that we don't make any big purchase beyond dorgu

 

[#07]

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.

 

[klayton88]

Mixed bag. Some good. Some shit. Would take 50m tomorrow before he's worth half that in the summer. Massive holes in his game.

 

[Shaw's Shank Redemption]

He is starting to be quite a good crosser of the ball - making one big open chance a game;

however the area he really struggles in is his progressive passes.

He isnt as intricate in his passing through defenders as Amad.

Still a good young player though and unfairly critical due to our own financial problems that has nothing to do with him.

 

[Mullet_Man]

Thought he had his best game in ages, tracked back a lot and worked hard all game.

Not great finishing but who has in recent months, that's a team issue nothing on him.

Would be sad to see him leave, would be even sadder if it was to Chelsea.

If you compare his average position to Amads (even when he’s at 10), Amad is actually wider, so I don’t really think it’s an issue that he pulls wide as long as the other 10 is pulled more centrally, which is what happens in reverse when it’s Bruno/Amad at 10. It worked fine last night because Eriksen did that and Amad provided the width from WB.

Garnacho is still one of our best (maybe best) at finding himself in shooting positions, so if he can fine tune his work in front of goal he’ll be very effective for us. He did also manage a couple of very nice crosses/passes into the box last night that his teammates did not capitalise on.

In short, I don’t think he’s struggling with the new system as much as everyone thinks.
