Early signs are very promising. How far can he go? Will he make the left wing spot his own already this season?
Garnacho: What is his potential?
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Hard to see anybody forcing Rashford from wide left.
Can he play on the right side as well?
If Martial stays injured and Ronaldo stays poor than Rashford will be the centre forward with the left wing between Sancho and Garnacho.
No, I don't think he's ready. He is still very raw and has a lot to work on. But his drive, power, and finishing (most of the time) is very, very good. He¨s very powerful. I used to compare him to Fernando Torres as his technique and decision-making need improving.
I would say no. His strength is exactly how he took his goal. He actually would be quite useless on the right IMO.
Sancho says 'Hi'
I said the other day that his ruggedness and tenacity is why he’s so exciting and that goal is a perfect example.
I think we’ve had more talented players come through in recent years, but Garnacho is certainly one of the most professional match -ready I can recall seeing.

Our biggest potential in decade
Which he will reach in Juve or Barca
. His contract situation worries me now
Which he will reach in Juve or Barca
. His contract situation worries me nowI really don’t think he is at all. In terms of where he takes up space and how he approaches the game he’s very wise.
Not felt this sure about someone breaking through our academy since Greenwood.
Expires in 2025 but yeah I think he'll be headed to Spain in a couple of years.
Who exactly? Greenwood is/was very talented but who are these other players? You arent refering to McT or Williams i assume?
In the last tens years, I’d say Pogba, Greenwood, Januzaj and Rashford all had more star power at first glance. Not that it means much, which is my point.
Expires in June 2023. No?
To be fair he reminds me of januzaj, hope he acts professionally and grab it. Excited to see him more
It's very early to tell. I understand we want and need a great youngster coming up to the first team but he has played what? 5? 6 games so far?
Let's try to be calm and don't push ourselves where we've been before with other youngsters. Of course he looks promising but that's all by now. I love watching him working without the ball, that's promising. And he understands really well when to ocuppy and attack the space. I love that.

Januzaj with pace.
I like his directness. He seems willing to run at the defence. I hope he doesn't lose that when he gets criticised when it doesn't come off.
Finally a player who is willing to run at a defender!
I don't see how he has higher potential than Greenwood did
If he knuckles down and stops wearing hats to training he has a chance of being a top player. His development over the last 12 months has been crazy.
He’s rapid over the first 15-20 meters.
Could end up being world class if everything goes down his way, we should nail him down for a few more years, see how he develops.
Messi levels, probably even better.
I'd agree with that as well.
Sancho needs to improve nowhere near a 73 mill player on 375k a week
He’d easily outscore Sancho over the course of a season.
He’ll be a starter by the end of the season.

Where was Sancho today? Speaks volumes when he isn’t even missed, terrible waste of money.
He doesn’t. It’s not even close either.
He's going to put pressure on Rashford and Sancho in the short term, and possibly take one of the starting spots in the front three in the medium term. If he establishes himself as a regular in the first team by the end of the season, it probably means we won't need to spend on Gakpo (and can instead concentrate on bringing in #9 for the forward areas).
Seems a better choice than Elanga but that's all I can say so far. And that may not even be true! Very nice goal but it's just one game, and he was anonymous otherwise
Looks a real talent and a bargain at £420K.
I think he has higher potential than Greenwood, not been this excited about a player since Januzaj.
Who?
Exactly. Sometimes I come on this website and it just feels like people don't even watch football anymore
He’s got all the talent in the world and hopefully he keeps his feet firmly on the ground. Mental ability is what separates the likes of Ravel and Mason from becoming world class players.
He’s got a really good coach in ETH to help him come through and hopefully the club help manage him personally too. I like that ETH made him prove himself after the debacle in pre season and glad Garnacho didn’t shy away from the challenge.. says a lot about the lad!
High hopes for him.

He doesn't.
Greenwood had a much higher potential.
Hardly anonymous. First half alone he could have had 2 goals and an assist.
2nd half the whole team fell apart. We didn't even have a shot on goal.
Hope he does well whatever the case. One of my best friends (his wife is Spanish) is actually friends with Garnacho's parents. Hopefully they can convince them to stay in Manchester
