Best pound-for-

Yeah its your united bias atleast not at this moment. Garnacho is great though, one thing he has over Martinelli is a lower center of gravity which combined with his pace and ability to go either way makes him just electric.He really should have gotten the 7, I trust Eric's judgment on this however, perhaps he chose to keep him hungry and not complacent?
I'd say he's better, might be my United bias speaking however.
Agreed.I'd say he's better, might be my United bias speaking however.
He probably already did so last season.Played very well today. I do wonder if the lineup today suggests that Ten Hag sees him ahead of Sancho.
He was really good today defensively, it's one of the main things I noticed as he had a tendency to become a bystander last season during defensive phases, but his work rate today to get back in front of Shaw was top notch.I don’t know if he does everything he should do (according to the Rule of Erik) when we’re out of possession but he is irresistible when we are going forward.
I agree. EtH has his specific rules, of course. I don’t know what they are so it’s difficult to know if he’s taking up the right positions, pressing at the right time etc but the improved effort and awareness of defending as a thing he needs to do is quite a big step forward.He was really good today defensively, it's one of the main things I noticed as he had a tendency to become a bystander last season during defensive phases, but his work rate today to get back in front of Shaw was top notch.
Hard not to, I think? His directness is such an asset and he’s popping up with either a goal or assist more often than not.Played very well today. I do wonder if the lineup today suggests that Ten Hag sees him ahead of Sancho.
I think so, I think he has a bit more awareness to his game than Martinelli imo, though think that's an area Garnacho will improve on, in time.Does anyone else see a similar playing style to Martinelli? Love his dribbling and acceleration.
And they’ll give him a Nr 7 shirt…Only downside is that I fear he's going to want a move to Real or Barca in a few seasons being Argentine/Spanish.
I was thinking this earlier. Wonder how many seasons we get to keep him before he is poached by Madrid?Only downside is that I fear he's going to want a move to Real or Barca in a few seasons being Argentine/Spanish.
442 baby!!I do wonder what will happen with Rashford if Garnacho and Højlund really kick on in the next couple of years.
Madrid would have to fork out an astronomical fee if he reaches his potential to prize him away. It's not 2009 anymore. When you think about it 80m for Ronaldo even at that time was far too generous.I was thinking this earlier. Wonder how many seasons we get to keep him before he is poached by Madrid?
There’s always a possibility but the one thing that gives me hope is the fact they have Vini Jr on the left already who could hold that position down for years, plus if Mbappe goes there it’s his favoured position as well even though they’d bring him to play striker and Barcelona are an absolute shambles at the moment and I don’t see them fixing things any time soon.Only downside is that I fear he's going to want a move to Real or Barca in a few seasons being Argentine/Spanish.
He has to really - with Rashford as a 9. The only other viable option is Rashford on the left with Sancho as false 9 as Martial is surely not fit to start after no pre-season games.He was very good. Interesting to see if he'll start vs Wolves.
Barca are washed. They won’t be buying any players that top PL clubs don’t want to sell for a while. And Real already have Vini and Rodrygo, with Mbappé likely following at some point.Turned 19 a month ago! Another season trending in the right direction, and I'll say he's the biggest talent since Ronaldo without any hesitation.
A shame how MG turned out. Imagine the two of them on the wings in the future...

As others have said there is no guaranteed starting spit for him there no matter how good he gets, unless he suddenly becomes able to play on the right.Only downside is that I fear he's going to want a move to Real or Barca in a few seasons being Argentine/Spanish.
People seriously still crying about a number?And they’ll give him a Nr 7 shirt…
Never underestimate the bedwetters, we're infested with them.People seriously still crying about a number?
Imagine he will if our new striker isn’t ready.He was very good. Interesting to see if he'll start vs Wolves.
Ah well, he has a contract until 2028 and if he keeps improving so much that Madrid want him, and with the way money in football is going, then it'll be £200 million minimum for him.Only downside is that I fear he's going to want a move to Real or Barca in a few seasons being Argentine/Spanish.
He won't, not in the foreseeable future anyway (within next 8 years or so). Supposedly Madrid would still have Mbappe and Vinicius Junior by that time, 2 of the very best left wing forward in the world playing in the exact same position as Garnacho. Unless they are buying him as 3rd choice LWF, or if they somehow declined sharply forcing Madrid to look for replacement.I was thinking this earlier. Wonder how many seasons we get to keep him before he is poached by Madrid?
