Why four Manchester United players were left furious with Alejandro Garnacho during 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth
Alejandro Garnacho has been in the spotlight at Manchester United across recent weeks.
The Argentina international was left out of the squad entirely by Ruben Amorim for the 2﷽-1 win over Manchester City, with the ♉Portuguese tactician explaining that it was a “simple selection” decision.
On Sunday, the Manchester United No.17 returned to the squad, but it was not a fun afternoon as Bournemouth recorded a 3-0 win at Old Trafford, leaving the Red Devils 13th in the Premier League.

Amorim introduced Alejandro Garnacho in the 55th minute♛ against the Cherries, alth👍ough the 20-year-old annoyed many of his teammates 24 minutes later with a brainless decision.
Rasmus Hojlund, Diogo Dalot, Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandes frustrated with Alejandro Garnacho
In the 79th minute as Manchester United trailed ꩲby three goals, the Madrid-born forward found himself in a pr🧔omising position on the left wing, supported by several teammates.
Aside from🙈 Amad Diallo – who was very deep at the back post – Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Hojlund were outside of the box, but that did not stop Garnacho from delivering a m💝indless cross into a sea of Bournemouth players with the outside of his right foot.
Given the context of how the game was panning out🌞, and the lack of direction on the cross, all four turned their backs in disgust, flinging their arms up in the air in complaint.

Even if Bournemouth hadn’t cleared the cross, it was no꧃t heading towards anybody in red, hence why Amad, Fernandes, Hojlund and Dalot were so annoyed.
In truth, Garnacho, who Troy Deeney criticised, uses this technique – known as a trivel🌠a – quite a lot, which suggests ♕he needs to practice using his weaker left foot more often.
Ruben Amorim told to change Alejandro Garnacho position
The Manchester United academy graduate had been performing to a decent standard under Erik ten Hag, scoring eig𝔍ht and assisting another four goals in 26 appearances so far this 🦄season.
However, Garnacho has not started as well as he would have liked under Amorim in a new 3-4-3 formation, obviously being dropped for the Man𓄧chester derby before struggling to make an impact against Bournemouth.

As a result, Robbie Savage𒉰 feels Garn💯acho should play at wing-back insteaཧd of attacking midfield, telling Amorim on BBC 606: “I didn’t think it (the formation) suited Garnaওcho as a ten. I think he’s better as one of the wing-backs.
“I thin❀k it suits Dalot. I think the player that it doesn’t suit is Garnacho as a ten.”
Wherever Amorim uses the Argentina international, he needs to improve his decision makiꦓng when Manchester United embark on pro💮mising attacks.
