United must persevere with Garnacho

Manchester United continued their recent upturn in results with a hard-fought 3-1 victory over Southampton in the Premier League last night.

Several United players struggled to produce their best form, but the team eventually got the job done courtesy of Amad Diallo’s late hat-trick.

While Diallo was ultimately the hero for the Red Devils, his late goals masked an otherwise wasteful performance.

Alejandro Garnacho had an even more frustrating night. He spurned several opportunities to score and was guilty of losing possession too many times.

His disappointing performance came in the aftermath of a bid from Napoli, who are interested in taking him to Italy.

While the Serie A club may ultimately make an offer that United are unable to reject, the feeling persists that selling Garnacho would be a bad idea.

Some of his current issues mirror Cristiano Ronaldo’s early time at the club, and we all know how that eventually worked out.

Garnacho is undoubtedly a talented player. If Ruben Amorim is the manager everyone thinks he is, he will unlock the Argentine’s potential.
