Alejandro Garnacho's scathing Man United attack left me speechless - it's time for a response
Alejandro Garnacho, at times, has been one of the very few shining lights for Manchester United this season. From scoring against Manchester City in the Community Shield to restoring his place under Ruben Amorim, it's been non-stop.
Before the international break, which Garnacho spent differently after being left out of the Argentina squad, scored in the 3-0 win over Leicester City. It was his first Premier League goal in 17 games, when he scored against the Foxes on November 10.
The winger has struggled to make the impact Amorim and he would have hoped. However, in glimpses, Garnacho has been United's most-dangerous player with his direct offensive play causing havoc for defences. He has registered assists in each of the last three Europa League games and when playing to his level, is unstoppable.
His lack of consistency and problems to fit into Amorim's 3-4-3 system has added fuel to the fire surrounding his future. The 20-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Napoli and Chelsea in January and United could still cash-in on him in the summer to comply with PSR.
United's end of the season could firmly rest on how the forward plays with a place in the Champions League still up for grabs. However, despite seeming to look close to his best recently, Garnacho has been on the receiving end of a scorching attack from ex-United player Paul Parker.
Speaking to SpilXperten, Parker said: "We can't keep using the excuse that Garnacho is young. He is not young anymore, at least not in football. He turns 21 in the summer and before he knows he will be 30. He needs to understand that and start performing."
"The best players, like Ryan Giggs, were not considered young when he was 21. Garnacho might be immature but he is not young
