Bruno Fernandes has revealed Alejandro Garnacho was "not at his best" at the start of the season, with concerns over his attitude.
Although 18-year-old Garnacho travelled on United's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia, he did not play a single minute while on tour, while players like Tahith Chong, who looked set to leave the club, were given minutes by Erik ten Hag.
That decision seemed bizarre, but Ten Hag explained last week - after Garnacho was handed his full debut against FC Sheriff - that he was "not happy" with the youngster at the beginning of the campaign, which Fernandes has now expanded on.
