Bruno Fernandes claims Alejandro Garnacho had wrong attitude to be Man Utd player

Bruno Fernandes has claimed that Manchester United starlet Alejandro Garnacho suffered earlier this season due to problems with his attitude.

The Spanish-born wonderkid, who won the club's prestigious under-18 Player of the Year award last season, scored his first senior goal for United as they beat Real Sociedad 1-0 in the Europa League on Thursday. Although the result wasn't enough for the Red Devils to finish top of their group, Garnacho received plenty of praise for his exploits which came off the back of another promising display at Old Trafford last Thursday.

However, Fernandes has poured cold water on the hype surrounding the Argentina youth international, shedding light on Garnacho's apparently not-so-pleasing behind-the-scenes behaviour in pre-season. "He was good, but he knows that we expect a lot from him," the United midfielder told BT Sport following United's victory in northern Spain.
