Alejandro Garnacho makes a return to the Manchester United squad for the West Ham game
As per Metro, young Argentine winger Alejandro Garnacho has made a return to the Manchester United squad for the game against West Ham United.
Garnacho, who has missed the best part of two months of action after the injury he picked up against Southampton, has travelled with the United squad to London to face the Hammers.
The 18-year-old recently announced that he will become a father. He also signed a new long-term contract with the Red Devils earlier this week.
Erik ten Hag would be delighted to see the Argentine back in the squad as United have looked leggy and short on ideas in the forward line.
Marcus Rashford has struggled for consistent form in the past few games, which is understandable how good he was since the World Cup.
The problem with this team is that if Rashford or Bruno Fernandes don’t turn up, the attack looks blunt. The likes of Jadon Sancho, Antony and Anthony Martial haven’t looked good when given the opportunities.
In his first season as a senior United player, Garnacho has got four goals and five assists in 29 appearances in all competitions. Most of those appearances have come off the bench as well.
His energy and directness on the ball would be key for ten Hag’s men to do well in the remaining games of this season.
After being comfortable in the third position till the last few games, United have been dragged into a top-four race with Liverpool. The latter have won their last six games, while the former has struggled for form.
As a result, Liverpool are only one point behind the Red Devils, albeit they have played two games more.
