Much need competion for Sancho, I think he needs to brought on in the 70th min (for games we are comfortably winning in) and bedded in like the first time we tried to integrate C. Ronaldo.
Id want him to be starting next season all being well, just shearly on how he can lift a team and fans.
That doesn't happen very often unfortunately even when we play well.

Luckhurst: "Garnacho, 18, is contracted to United until 2025, despite summer reports his deal would expire next year amid speculation of interest from Juventus."


"Sources say United are comfortable with Garnacho's situation due to the length of his existing deal and incremental increases."

Amad and Pellistril both play on the right and were signed to try and help fill the lack of right winger; while Garnacho plays on the left - they're not in direct competition, so not sure why you're chuckling.
They could be presidents of USA, but still they're not playing and doubt they'll play even half the time Garnacho will get on the pitch.

Lack of right winger was filled this summer.

transfermarkt has him out of contract in 2023. Bad sources for them?

Looked super impressive in dribbling and ability. Has a big future.

I liked ETH's comment, saying he first needed to improve his attitude, work harder to get his chance. He obviously did that, and he gets played. That is how you manage young talents, nothing is given for free

I was very impressed but in no way surprised to be honest. He showed exactly what he is very good at (dribbling and being a general menace), played with maturity (which he always has in my eyes) but will need time and games to show what he is really amazing at (cutting into score, being on the end of chances and creative passing/crossing). Hopefully we see more of him.

Not the right thread but, for me, Hannibal will be no different when he gets the proper chance to play here. Another lad that just has the right mix of aggression and talent too.

Hopefully he gets more minutes. Dont expect him to feature next week. Hopefully some league games we can go 3-0 up with plenty of time to bring him on. Otherwise looks like cup games are his best bet (if we get favourable draws)

He is my favorite United player to watch by far. Every time he picks up the ball I get excited and its a joy to watch. My favorite move he had yesterday was the cheeky backheel he had to Malacia on the overlap. Just oozed class!

I think he should be getting minutes over Sancho on the left who looks miles off it at the moment.

The boy looked fantastic last night. Small steps here and there, but I’d like to see him brought on more often when Sancho struggles.

I'd play Garnacho over Sancho. His brave attitude and willingness to take on full backs is something I really admire. Yes, he lacks the final end product and his decision making is a bit off, Ronaldo was exactly the same during his younger years yet Ferguson decided to stick with him and let Ronaldo learn, improve and make mistakes. Let's give Garnacho that same opportunity.

Reserving judgement until we see him a few times in the PL, the technical ability is there for all to see. Sounds like ETH has been hard on him in training which is good to see, only way these young kids will really kick on.

Technically gifted player who excites the crows when he gets on the ball. These are the type of players fans go to the grounds to see.

He has a lot of competition on the wings but hopefully he still gets the appropriate minutes to show case his talent.

Why would he go to juventus, they are in a dire state at the moment and rely on freebies for a majority of their recruitment

He didn't seem at all out of place playing with the first team.
I feel like youth players in general tend to do really well when they first play - it’s almost like the shock hasn’t set in just yet and it’s once they’ve played with a bit of consistency, and other teams/players actually acknowledge that they’re decent and do their research on the player that they start to struggle a bit.

Yeah, I mean he's definitely an unknown entity to any opponent, at the moment.

What the feck is going on in this thread? He's either not going to make it because he doesn't have any end product or an absolute superstar, based off a 70 minute debut. Christ.

It’s a shame some people seem to be incapable of enjoying an exciting performance from a young player without having to tear into someone else to do it, in this case Sancho.

Garnacho’s performance was brilliant to watch but let’s give him time to develop before extrapolating a game against a truly terrible opponent into suggestions he should be starting every week. Not least because it’ll only take one poor game for the vultures to come out.

Hopefully he’ll get some more showings in cup games and/or sub appearances towards the end of league games to help him develop. Certainly an exciting prospect.

People getting excited and carried away and predicting he'll be a superstar is one thing, that's part of the fun of being a football fan, watching young players break through and hoping they'll be the next whatever, but the people writing him off already, I mean, I'll just assume they're all under 14, nothing more to add.

Had a decent game but needs to know when to cut inside and when to go on the outside. Malacia made lots of overlaps which would of got us in behind them and he ignored it and cut inside instead. Will become good though with more game time.

Very irritating but shows immaturity and gives an idea of the average age of the Caf I feel.

Elanga is another one he gets flack relentlessly at the moment when the really is both he and Sancho are still young players themselves and in reality still finding their way. Granted Sancho comes with more experience at a high level, and a big price tag, he is still young and adjusting.

Some has seen more than just 70 minutes and have watched his progression the past few seasons.

I was surprised how easily he transitioned. He looks the same in U18’s.

Describing him as an exciting talent based on his whole career so far is one thing. One poster has called him their favourite player. That's just mental. As is saying he's got no end product. There's a tendency for people to go overboard in both directions.

It's fine to be excited about him - he's a real talent. It's also fine to not think he'll quite make the grade. Talking in absolutes based on very little is the issue.

A few things that stand out when I say he's going to be a star are that he looks so self-assured, the way he grafts and the other is when he gets cleaned out, he gets straight back up and goes again at the defender as he's unfazed.

Those attributes along with the riggt technical skills are what make a top,top player.

None of that matters if he doesn't have the mental fortitude. We've had plenty of talented players who didn't make the grade, so making any predictions before they've established themselves as genuine first team quality is daft. He might be the one in a thousand who makes it, he might not. Right now he's just potential - nothing more.

Well no, in fairness, if he's starting European games he's narrowed the odds considerably from the one in a thousand point. Of course, the odds are still against him establishing himself with us but he's jumped up a few rungs on the ladder with that display last night.

Fair do's, he's got an advantage over the majority who don't make it. Based on that, would you personally describe him as your favourite player, or lacking end product?

Yeah people are daft and waste so much time and energy predicting stuff before it happens instead of waiting till it happens and then predicting it.

Bet your fun at parties, holy crap.

I forgot you're the footballing oracle.

Apologies for having some optimism for the future ol' wise one.

Well neither, obviously. I barely know the chap. He offered a level of directness that we haven't always seen from our wide men in recent weeks, I like his confidence and I'd like to see more of him. Probably enough to be going on with at this point, no?
