Manchester United ended the Europa League group stage with a 0-1 win as the “Red Devils” defeated Real Sociedad in the transfer. However, thanks to the goal difference, it was the Spaniards who closed Group E in first place, devaluing in some way the success of the English. The only goal of the match was scored by Alejandro Garnacho, the talented Argentinian, who took advantage of an assist from Cristiano Ronaldo.
In fact, the 18-year-old was expected to have more space in coach Erik ten Hag’s schemes, however it is Bruno Fernandes who explains the reasons why Garnacho has not received the expected minutes. According to the Portuguese, in the preparatory phase, Garnacho did not have the right behavior and something like this penalized him a lot in the eyes of coach Ten Hag.
“Garnacho played a good match, but we expect a lot from someone like him. Still, he’s still young and he’s getting the hang of it. In the preparatory phase when the team started the tour, Garnacho did not have the right behavior and I believe that is the reason why he has not had many minutes on the field so far.
He didn’t train well, he also had mental problems. However, he has already started to train well, has a different attitude and deserves the chance to show his skills. We are very happy with him and I am glad for the goal he scored”, said Fernandes.
