Paul Scholes says Alejandro Garnacho has impressed him every time he has watched him play, and hailed his display in Manchester United’s 2-1 win over Manchester City on Saturday.
The 18-year-old, who came on with 18 minutes to go, teed up Marcus Rashford for the winner on 82 minutes, sending a low cross for the striker to toe home his 16th striker of the season. It means Garnacho now has five assists to his name to add to the two senior goals since his breakthrough.
Speaking on BT Sport after the match, Scholes suggested the Argentine should have come on before Antony, who entered the action at half-time when Anthony Martial was forced off with “small complaints”.
