Manchester United Manager Rúben Amorim has addressed the decision not to start Alejandro Garnacho over Mason Mount in a recent semi-final match. Amorim stated that it is easy to criticise the team selection after the event, but highlighted that Garnacho missed a significant opportunity during the first half of the game. “Who missed the big opportunity in the first half in the semi-final? Garnacho. Football is like that,” Amorim said, according to reports.
Garnacho is a forward, and his style of play has been a subject of interest. Amorim has previously praised Mason Mount’s versatility and work ethic, indicating the value he places on his players’ abilities. Mount has been utilised in various positions, showcasing his adaptability.
Amorim has recently reaffirmed his commitment to Manchester United, vowing to stay as the club’s manager despite speculation surrounding his future. The manager’s loyalty pledge comes amid transfer speculation and fan dissatisfaction, with Amorim prioritising fan satisfaction amidst the club’s struggles.
