Alejandro Garnacho, a young talent brimming with potential, finds himself at a crossroads at Manchester United under the management of Ruben Amorim.
Once seen as a promising winger, Garnacho has struggled to maintain his place in the starting XI, raising questions about his attitude and commitment.
Graeme Souness has weighed in, delivering a scathing critique of the 20-year-old’s behavior and warning that his current trajectory could derail his promising career.
Garnacho Falls Out of Favor
The Argentine winger initially impressed Amorim, scoring in the new manager’s Europa League debut against Bodo/Glimt.
However, his performances and attitude since then have led to a significant reduction in playing time. Garnacho has started just two of the last nine games, fueling rumors of dissatisfaction within the club.
Souness didn’t hold back in his assessment, saying: “He’s just a 20-year-old boy who hasn’t proven himself yet. Acting like he’s made it will only ruin his potential.”
Adding to his challenges, Garnacho was excluded from the squad for the Manchester derby and has seen limited action since. Reports suggest his representatives are already exploring a January transfer, signaling growing uncertainty about his future at Old Trafford.
Amorim’s Expectations for Discipline
Ruben Amorim, known for his high standards and disciplined approach, has not shied away from making tough decisions. After leaving Garnacho out of a key matchday squad, the manager acknowledged the player’s initial disappointment but praised his response in training.
“He seems upset with me, and that’s good,” Amorim said earlier this month. “It shows he cares. But he needs to channel that frustration into proving himself on the pitch.”
Despite this, Garnacho remains on the fringes of the team, and with Manchester United preparing for a crucial clash against Liverpool, the young star’s future hangs in the balance.
