Alejandro Garnacho has a unique characteristic which marks him out among Manchester United ’s other wingers, according to Paul Scholes.
Garnacho was selected by Erik ten Hag to start for United in their final Europa League group game of the season against Real Sociedad on Thursday night. The selection was a big show of faith from the United manager, who is without Anthony Martial, Antony and Jadon Sancho, but could have picked Anthony Elanga.
The 18-year-old winger made his senior debut for United in April and has burst onto the scene this season after putting in a strong performance in the 3-0 win over FC Sheriff last week. And with Sancho and Antony attracting criticism from United legend Rio Ferdinand for their reluctance to take on opposition full-backs, Garnacho appears the perfect tonic.
