Alejandro Garnacho earned high praise from manager Rúben Amorim following his standout performance in Manchester United's 1-1 draw against Arsenal. Amorim described the Argentine's display as his best since taking charge, highlighting his impact both in attack and defence.

Key Role in United's Attack

Similar to his midweek outing against Real Sociedad, Garnacho started on the right wing in United's front three. He proved to be a constant threat to the Arsenal defence, particularly in the second half as United increased their attacking pressure.

Constant Threat

Despite United's only goal coming from a Bruno Fernandes free-kick in first-half stoppage time, Garnacho was instrumental in the team's attacking play throughout the match. His crosses created opportunities for Joshua Zirkzee and Matthijs de Ligt, both of whom were denied by the Arsenal keeper. Garnacho also had a chance to score himself, but his shot went over the bar.

Defensive Work

Garnacho wasn't just impressive in attack; he was also diligent in his defensive duties. He helped United frustrate Arsenal for much of the game, contributing to a valuable point against the Premier League's second-placed team.

Amorim's Praise

"We have some good players for the transition like Garnacho," Amorim told reporters after the match. "I think with Garnacho, and we are always talking about Garnacho, he defended very well and attacked very well. I think it was Garnacho's best game since I've been here. He is improving and we understood the plan quite well."

Continued Improvement

Garnacho's performance against Arsenal is a testament to his continued improvement. The 20-year-old has established himself as a key player for Manchester United, and his potential is immense.

Alejandro Garnacho's performance against Arsenal was a showcase of his talent and potential. With the support of Amorim and his teammates, the Argentine has a bright future ahead of him.
