Alejandro Garnacho comments show why he has been given his Manchester United opportunity

The World Cup pause came at the wrong time for Alejandro Garnacho, who was enjoying a wonderful spell in the Manchester United first-team.

After being handed his full first-team debut against FC Sheriff, he fired home his first senior goal against Real Sociedad a week later. Garnacho was then handed his first Premier League start in the 3-1 loss to Aston Villa before grabbing two assists in the 4-2 revenge League Cup win over the Villains.
