People judge him as he was a 27 year old.
He is 19 and will improve alot, imagine him then. He will be amazing, i am sure.

All you need to tell him is ”you play in the position Ronaldo did when he was young today” and he will be buzzing.
It seems we're in agreement but I do admire a coach who implements a system and sticks to his guns.
Probably best performances in a United shirt. Young and will be inconsistent but he's one of the few current United players that gets bums off seats.
And Mainoo.
That offside and the shot at the far post instead of laying it off to Hojlund for an easy tap in, he has to get these right. They're simple, simple decisions and if they go in, it makes the game so much easier for us
So ehm. He is better on the right wing right?
Excellent today. He must continue on the right in case Rashford also starts.
Emery has been playing those high line tactics all season. Has allowed them to be well ahead of the rest for catching the opposition offside and have then in the top 4.
That offside is on Rashford. I have no idea why would Rashford pass from there. You have pace to Burn so carry the ball forward and then make a call to pass or shoot.
Serious lack of intelligence from Rashford. Nothing on Garnacho. He was racing to be the first option in the box.
He should be our main starter on the right from now on.
You're joking right?
Rashford played the right ball, all Garnacho had to do was keep onside, all their defenders were behind both Rashford and Garnacho.
That's completely on Garnacho
Why the feck would I joke. You don't pass from there. Not even sure why would you not take the ball forward.
Because he can play it into Garnacho in the centre of the goal before the defenders have any chance to get back and no way he can tell Nacho has just got ahead of him at that pace. I don’t blame Nacho either - it was superb play by both of them. Just occasionally those close calls go against you.
Just reminds me of a young ronaldo. So raw, mistake prone, tonnes of confidence and talent. Not sure what his attitude is like in general but strikes me as a gem, good personality and wants to learn. Could have thought he made it like the januzaj and macheda days, could have spiralled down after being dropped at the start of the season, but has gone from strength to strength.
They're the things you'd look for him to improve on as he develops.
Very good performance today even with that. Always looking to make something happen and brought us back into the game with some great composure.
Outstanding.
We can fix his tunell-vision later.

Because there's no one in front of Garnacho, he has a one on one at a head-on open angle instead of the wide narrow angle Rashford has.
I also admire a coach who sticks to his system but within that system there has to be flexibility, and with Emery there was no flexibility and he's carried on with a stupidly high line even when his team was in control of the game. You can still implement a positional game in possession by dropping back and being more compact, whilst taking advantage of the transition threat posed by your own attacking players. But he's now done that twice at Old Trafford and it's played into our hands twice. He had his CBs marking Hojlund in a high line but the space for both Rashford and Garnacho to exploit was always there and he allowed it to continue for most of the game.
But like I've already said, I'm glad we won and hopefully we can build some momentum going forward.
Definitely good performance, just want him to fix up some of the simpler decisions he makes on the field.
So happy for him. He’s still very raw (especially in his decision making) but he makes up for it with his tenacity and natural ability. I hope he stays on the right though.
I know he has, but imo, if he doesn't adapt soon, then Villa's upturn in fortune weren't last long under him. He's now committed suicide twice at Old Trafford.
Glad he did well on the right. I thought he would be ineffective there (similar to Rashford) but that was probably his best all round performance of the season.
Yeah, they definitely should have dropped deeper at 2 nil. Especially with the way we struggle to break teams down.
Also agree with you that we should be positive about the result and hopefully gain momentum.
This kid is a proper United player.
He's the closest thing to being the "real deal". He has the tenacity to churn out a great career and has the talent to go with it. I love his directness.
He puts his bones on the line. Absolutely relentless.

I've always thought he'd suit playing on the right because he's more old school than the likes of Rashford. Playing on his strong side should work and I'm amazed we've not tried it before.
He reminded me a bit of Kanchelskis tonight. Watch the fecking line though man.
He was immense on the right. Sancho and Antony can do one, we found the new Nani/CR.
Can he get quicker?
Just feel it's the only thing missing from him having world class potential.

Yes he can. Think adding a bit of muscle will help him.
Exactly!
Also any young player these days will be so connected to social media, it can't be easy to deal with the highs or the lows.
From game to game you are going to get very different performances, but at this stage it's all about giving him as much experience as possible. He ran himself into the ground tonight so we all need to bare that in mind come Saturday.
Just enjoy the ups and downs.
Boy of the Match.
It wouldn’t be a bad thing to get prime Kanchelskis incarnate on the right, to be frank. But I think Kanchelskis was faster, but Garnacho has better technique and much higher potential
Never stops going. Doesn't give a feck how many chances it takes. Killer mentality.
Every touch vs Villa

Feels slightly nuts we hadn’t played him on the right with Rashford left until now.
Antony may struggle to get back to the starting eleven now, especially as Amad is also nearing fitness. But it also depends on Rashford, whether he keeps trying.
Still doing the Rashford/Antony trying narrative, are we?
