Alejandro Garnacho will prove he’s a world class talent at his next club… but he won’t reach those heights at Man Utd

ALEJANDRO GARNACHO will be a world class forward, just not at Manchester United. Garnacho, 20, is rightly labelled as one of the club's brightest talents and was considered as one of three untouchable stars following last year's FA Cup final. But now the Puskas-award winning attacker looks set to be one of the first casualties of Ruben Amorim's rebuild.

So what happened in the space of half a season to trigger such a drastic change in transfer policy?. After all, Garnacho is the Red Devils' joint-second top scorer this season with eight goals, ranked only behind Amad Diallo on nine and level with club captain Bruno Fernandes.

Former manager Erik ten Hag said of him that if he works hard, "that will bring him to being a world-class player because he has the potential.". Cristiano Ronaldo, Garnacho's idol, played 73 games for Manchester United before turning 20, during which he had managed 10 goals.

In Garnacho's first 73 games, he had 12, suggesting he's shown more promise in these early years than even the great CR7. However, the winger has been one of the main stars to suffer a dip in form following the appointment of Amorim. Since the former Sporting Lisbon boss's arrival, Garnacho has scored just two goals and his inconsistency has been clear to see in a role which he just doesn't seem to have a feel for.
