Alejandro Garnacho sent clear message over Man Utd role by Ruben Amorim

Ruben Amorim has told Alejandro Garnacho he needs to learn to shine under him. Garnacho has started just five of Amorim’s 13 games in charge of Manchester United and he axed him from his squad completely for last month’s derby win over Manchester City. This has alerted Napoli and they are looking for a wideman because Georgia star Khvicha Kvarataskhelia is joining Paris St Germain.
United are in no mood to sell Garnacho if Napoli did make an offer this month, but their interest reflects the new uncertainty over his future. Garnacho, 20, has managed just one goal and one assist as he has struggled to adapt to life under Amorim. The United boss does not question the Argentina winger’s ability and says he needs to learn his new role in his 3-4-3 formation. Garnacho has looked ill at ease as a wing-back and Amorim wants him to be better inside.
The South American has been a star performer over the last 12 month and he scored seven goals and contributed four assists before Amorim arrived in November. “He has talent and he needs to learn to play in a different position,” said the United boss, speaking before Thursday’s Premier League game against Southampton. “He needs to play better inside. He improves a lot in the recovering position when he doesn’t have the ball. But by doing that, sometimes he’s not in the right place to make transitions like he was in the past.
