Ruben Amorim has commented on the future of Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho, who continues to attract interest from Chelsea in the January transfer window.
Garnacho played the full 90 minutes of United’s late 2-1 win over Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday and was one of the best performers as one of five changes following Sunday’s miserable defeat to Brighton.
After the game, Amorim was undecided one way or another on whether Garnacho would remain at Old Trafford until the end of the month, but praised the winger’s progress after the winger was let go for a poor performance ahead of the Manchester derby just over a month away. before.
“He plays for Manchester United.” He said this when asked if he had played his last game for the club. “He was really important for us today. We’ll see next day.
“I think he’s improving in all aspects of his game. He got better today playing inside and outside, switching positions. He’s improving his recovery position, as you can see.
“Throughout the 90 minutes he was always there to recover and help. Sometimes it’s really good to show a little frustration because he wants more.”
Amorim also presented challenges for the 20-year-old to improve on, adding: “I think he has the potential to be much better in every situation of the game.
“What I can say is that he understood what I was trying to do and it was really clear. I just want to help him. At the end of the day, it’s the players who do the work.”
Chelsea considered a move for Garnacho but no bid was made.
