Garnacho Impresses Amorim with 'Complete Game' in Manchester United's Draw with Arsenal

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim praises Alejandro Garnacho's performance in 1-1 draw with Arsenal, citing his 'complete game'.

Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho made a lasting impression on manager Ruben Amorim with his outstanding performance at Old Trafford on Sunday. Garnacho's tireless efforts paid off as Manchester United drew 1-1 with Arsenal in the Premier League.

Garnacho was a force to be reckoned with on the right wing, posing a constant threat to the visiting team. His aggressive plays earned him four fouls, the most of any player in the match. One of those fouls proved particularly crucial, leading to Bruno Fernandes's decisive free-kick goal just before halftime.

Alejandro Garnacho's performance against Arsenal was a notable improvement from his recent outings. In addition to winning four fouls, he successfully delivered two crosses and came out on top in the majority of his duels. This display was a welcome turnaround after his previous match, where he hit the side netting in Manchester United's 1-1 Europa League draw with Real Sociedad.

Garnacho's recent form had been under scrutiny, particularly after his reaction to being substituted during Manchester United's 3-2 win over Ipswich Town last month. On that occasion, he opted to head straight down the tunnel rather than joining his teammates on the bench, sparking criticism. However, his impressive showing against Arsenal suggests he may be getting back on track.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim praised Alejandro Garnacho's performance against Arsenal, saying, “I think Garnacho made a really complete game. He was upset last Thursday and today, he was amazing.” Amorim's comments to Sky Sports after Sunday's match highlighted Garnacho's impressive turnaround.

Garnacho's future at Manchester United had been uncertain in January, with media reports linking him to a potential move away from the club. This speculation arose after Amorim dropped Garnacho from the squad in December, along with Marcus Rashford, citing the need for higher standards and competitiveness. However, Amorim later expressed his support for the young winger, noting that Garnacho had made a positive change in his attitude and was showing signs of improvement at United.
