Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has emphasized the need for Alejandro Garnacho to elevate his performances moving forward.
In light of ongoing speculation linking the Argentine with a transfer to Napoli, Ruben Amorim provided insights into Garnacho’s current standing in the squad. Despite being included again after missing a previous match against Manchester City, Garnacho’s future at the club appears to be in flux.
“There’s no doubt about his talent,” said Amorim. “However, he needs to adapt to playing in a different position and enhance his contributions in the final third.”
He highlighted the improvements Garnacho has made in his off-the-ball recovery efforts, saying: “I strongly believe in building up play as a cohesive unit to penetrate the final third.
“Garnacho is learning how to best fit into this system, and he is making noticeable progress in training. He started in the last game, and I’m optimistic about his development.”
On the other hand, Ruben Amorim praised the promising young talent Toby Collyer ahead of the crucial Premier League clash against Southampton on Thursday. He noted that the 21-year-old possesses significant pace and a strong work ethic in training.
Collyer made a valuable contribution during Manchester United’s recent FA Cup victory over Arsenal, playing 39 minutes in a match that ended in a penalty shootout.
“Toby has been excelling in training,” Amorim said. “His pace and eagerness to learn are impressive, which provides us with an additional option for the upcoming match.”
After joining Manchester United’s academy from Brighton in 2022, Collyer has only made four first-team appearances so far. However, he looks poised to receive more playing time under Amorim’s leadership as he continues to develop.
