Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has revealed that Alejandro Garnacho is “a little bit upset” with him following the winger’s exclusion from the squad that defeated Manchester City 2-1 last weekend. However, the Argentine international is set to feature in the Red Devils’ Carabao Cup quarter-final clash against Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday night.
Speaking during his pre-match press conference, Amorim praised Garnacho’s attitude and commitment during training, noting that the player’s frustration at being dropped is a positive sign of his hunger to compete.
“Garnacho is doing really good; he trained really well,” Amorim said. “He seems a little bit upset with me, and that is perfect! I was really, really happy because I would do the same. He is ready for this game.”
The 19-year-old winger has been a standout performer for United this season, with fans eager to see him return to action. Garnacho’s determination to prove himself will undoubtedly add an extra layer of intensity to the Red Devils’ lineup as they aim to advance in the Carabao Cup.
The match against Tottenham promises to be a thrilling encounter, with Amorim’s squad eager to build on their recent derby success.
