He looks fantastic. Outstanding attributes across different parts of his game.

At youth level it was clear to see he was good at dribbling whilst running at pace, where he could maintain control whilst running at full pelt. I didn't think he'd start showing the level he's currently showing at first team level so quickly. But the way he's playing currently I foresee the LWF role as his for the taking.

But this doesn't surprise me because I've felt a few of the current younger players that were signed by John Murtough at youth level were very good and had the potential to be first team players. Still a long way to go, but the signs are very very positive.

Would you put him above Sancho in the pecking order? I think our best front 3 is Antony - Martial - Rashford as it stands, but I'd honestly prefer this kid over Sancho based on his directness.
100%

He’s young, so there’ll be ups and downs, but he must be super confident after tonight and his goal in the Europa. Deserves to play more games. Sancho can have a few more weeks off to get over his lurgy, recharge his batteries and hopefully contribute at the business end of the season.

I'd prefer Garnacho right now, but having Sancho finally find some form would be great. We're going to need him whether Garnacho continues this form or not, so I hope we see more of him.

You can see the crowd are starting to buzz when he gets on the ball similar to the other wonder kids we've had down the years.

Should be starting on Sunday for me.
Just leaving the stadium. Was in the corner he was attacking. Was absolutely brilliant to see. Crowd absolutely hyped every time he got the ball. Can't wait to see more

Yeah, at the very least it would be handy to have someone who can play on the right as cover. I mean supposedly play on the right, thats why we signed him right :lol:

Incredibly exciting talent. Nothing beats a young attacker from the academy breaking into the first team effortlessly.

His touch and dribbling on the ball reminds me a lot of when Giggs broke through (albeit Gigggs was very left footed)... great prospect

He looks fantastic, shades of a player who I shall not name when he came from the academy and took the stage by storm.

Him Rashy and Martial as front 3 for now, has to be.
None of the three is good at the right so only two of them can start. Garnacho is so young so he will have his ups and downs. And the fullbacks will start doing their homework on him soon so we cant expect to much of him to soon.

Both Marcus and Martial struggles with injuries at times so he will get enough gametime to develop nicely.

Think Antony is safe on the right as he is our only left footed attacker bar Pellistri who doesnt get a chance, and Sancho needs to get his head straight if he want to makes it here.

Yeah, it's not like I expected Sancho to set the league on fire, but his impact and usefulness really has been underwhelming. Oh well, I'm sure he'll come good at some point.

I'd say give Garnacho a go on the right, see what he can do there.

Martial up front, Rashford on the left AG on the right.
ETH likes to interchange his wingers anyway ( bar when Antony is fit) so that’s also a option for Sunday

Yeah, Bruno and Rashford were doing it in the first half.

Although I do think he'll probably start Bruno on the right and either Rashford up front, AG on the left or Martial up front, Rashford on the left. I think he prefers Bruno in a wide position as we seem to have more control in midfield when he isn't playing in the middle.

Thank Christ! We needed someone to break through in attack after the Greenwood situation.
Really hope he continues improving. Great to see.

Mostly very positive comments here recognising what he did tonight.

For those with dull/subdued views of this teen pretty much making a game winning impact without acknowledging it :lol:

The new starboy. Unreal cameo from him. Not just his dribbling ability, but the pass he made to McT for his goal was insane.

Problem is we have no one to play on the right. Antony is a must have in this team. Garnacho cannot play every game anyway. I would like to see him rotate with Rashford and Rashford rotate with Marial as well.

Boy is gonna be a star. That ball for McTominay was just ridiculous.. didn’t know he had that in his locker.

Making Sancho look very average.

I was reading somewhere Martinez had taken him under his wing a little bit and they are good pals off the field . For the 3rd goal when Bruno scored You could see Martinez on the sideline having a word with Garnacho

if he starts with Rashford and martial this weekend I hope he’s on the right

rashford is completely useless on the right but with the way Garnacho can burn players I think he can still be effective there

He is real deal. How do I know? That pass to McT was pure joy. People talk about dribbling, speed but for me this game is all about pass.

Looks to be a great talent, but I'd bench him until he stops shaving those eyebrows.
