‘He’s better than Alejandro Garnacho’ – Man United legend praises 21-year old star | OneFootball

According to former Manchester United defender Paul Parker, Alejandro Garnacho is not the best young winger at Old Trafford.

Garnacho has made his place in the Manchester United starting XI after a run of impressive performances this season. It would not be wrong to say that the young winger is one of the first names on the team sheet now. The Argentinian attacker has started the last 15 games for the Red Devils.

However, former United defender Paul Parker wants manager Erik ten Hag to give chances to another young starlet at the club.

Parker believes  21-year-old winger Amad Diallo is actually better than Garnacho and wants to see him get more chances to shine.

“I thought Amad Diallo came on against Nottingham Forest and showed more than Antony has done since he arrived,” Parker told bettors.ng.

“He is very clever, and I think, right now, he is better than Garnacho, and he deserves to get the chance to get a run.

“Given Man United’s situation, Erik ten Hag has to give the lad a run. There is so much more in him as a wide player than all the other players. His pace can trouble any opponent.”

Amad was the star of the promotion chasing Sunderland team in the Championship last season. He scored 14 goals and provided four assists in all competitions in his season long loan at the club.

United signed Amad in January 2021, for an initial fee of £19 million from Atalanta and the deal contains possible add-ons for an additional £18 million. The Ivorian is under contract till June 2025, with the possibility of a 12-month extension.

Antony has failed to make an impact since his £86m move from Ajax, having not contributed to a single goal this season in 21 appearances. Amad deserves to get a proper chance in the team at the right-wing position.
