Nah not even close. Greenwood was a generational talent who you could say may break Rooney's record. Garnacho can be good nonetheless.

The same things I see here and other places saying about Garnacho - I saw the same things been said about Elanga last season
Greenwood was levels above.
He was exceptional. Potential world class...
Garnacho is still promising. He's coming off a very good season, I hope he continues to progress and grabs every opportunities given to him..
with the right mentality and coaching he can be a very good forward.
Yeah the sad thing is this is a common theme on Redcafe which many posters don't learn from.
They overrate these kids to a level they can't reach (Giggs, Ronaldo or even Greenwood comparisons already on this thread) only to slate them in 2 months time when they can't instantly produce this level. For the record, I still have a lot of faith in Elanga to improve.
Anyone else get flashbacks of 18 year old Ronaldo with how he played?
He might be the fastest guy running with the ball in United now that Greenwood is gone, or RV were just so slow?
But Elanga never showed such talent. He showed pressing and energy
Completely different level over the other kids we have.
Crazy that he only turned 18 about a month ago. The last 6 odd months must have been amazing for him.
I didn't think he was ready yet but he proved me wrong today. He looks good enough for the squad. Bags of skill and a good bit of know how too. I was worried about him athletically but by God he's fast enough.
He was one of the brighest talents in Spain IIRC, Elanga was not
Oh not this shite again. It was nonsense with Greenwood and it’s nonsense with Garnacho based on today. There’s a portion of this fanbase who really hate flair and individualism.
So fecking raw upfront but the talent is there obviously for anyone to see , apparently he was the kid who ten hag got angry over being late, I sincerely hope that he has the right attitude and makes the most of his natural capability under ten hag and doesn't let it rot like so many before him did.
It wasn't him.
Oh, my knowledge is outdated it seems, why wasn't he playing him in the first place though?
Probably easing him in, there are a couple in front of him from a seniority stand point who EtH wanted too look at first, but of the youngsters I would say he, Iqbal and Savage have been the best of the bunch in-game and will probably be involved with the match-day squads.going forwards.
The others will probably get loans to start the season and the other three will see where they are come January.
MOTM today. Obviously still raw but you can't teach that dribbiling and ability to beat players so effortessly or that workrate either. Will be interesting to see what happens with him this season.
Really ? goal against Brentford ? goal against Atletico ?
No, I mean he's more than just running and pressing machine

Was an excellent acquisition by the club. We are quick to slate the scouting department but excellent business on this one (our youth scouting has been pretty good for the past 5 years or so to be fair).
Do you also see dead people?
He was good today but was easily shown down blind alleys too often when he came up against a decent full back. There's definitely something there though, hope he gets a chance this year
He scored several goals, yes.
Makes sense, hope to see more of him this coming season.
He is a confident lad…could get a few minutes this season if he stays fit.
Whenever a wide player goes passed his marker people always get excited and over react to a performance.

You just described Wayne Rooney
The highest praise I saw given to Elanga was that he works hard and that at least he isn't Rashford.
What do your eyes tell you? Nobody cares what you read
Very good performance today, looked like he had a point to prove to the manager. Very exciting talent for sure!
This kid is going to be a player. Looking forward to watching him grow up
Elanga was extremely highly regarded, he was the one of the best players in the academy before he got promoted. He's not handled the step up to first team level but that's football, some sink and some swim.
What's his contract situation ?
How many years does he have left ? Is he signing a new one ? Seems a real talent, would be good to get him on a 5 year contract.

Didn't watch the game but judging by the comments, you'd think he was the second coming of Christ. No doubt the same posters will be shitting all over him in 3-5 years time.
Having said all of that, it's nice to hear he had a bright game. Not sure how much game time he'll get this season, but he'll certainly be staking a claim to push for some first team games if he plays at the standard some have said, especially if we don't add to our wing department.

Handled it pretty well when he broke into the first team. He was one of our very few bright sparks last season.
Sign him up!
Nah come on. Elanga never even set the u23’s alight. Garnacho is a talent equivalent to Greenwood imo.
Yeah should be utilised as impact sub to be direct against tiring defenders
Yeah can't afford to lose him as looks a real talent
Haven't seen all that much of Garnacho but based on what I have, I don't see it. At least not from an ability/ talent stand point. Greenwood was one of those rare talents we won't see the academy producing for a good while. I haven't seen anyone come though being anywhere near as good (I missed the 90s boat). With the right mentality he'd have been our record goalscorer.
