Garnacho emerged as United’s standout performer in a less than convincing 2-0 triumph over Everton, earning both penalties which Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford expertly converted. Previously, the Argentine international netted one of the standout goals of the season against Everton and has progressively become one of United’s pivotal figures over the past five months.
Following the 2-0 victory, Ten Hag expressed in a press conference, “He is a player that needs a challenge and likes one. Our job is to push him to high levels.” Emphasizing Garnacho’s immense potential, he stressed the need to extract it through consistent daily efforts. Ten Hag underscored the importance of Garnacho’s focus and dedication, acknowledging the challenges that young players often face in maintaining these attributes. He referred to a previous disciplinary incident during a pre-season tour in 2022 when Garnacho arrived late to a team breakfast, highlighting his subsequent improvement in work ethic and off-the-ball movement, which has seen him start United’s last 18 Premier League matches.
However, Ten Hag also cautioned the young talent, stating, “When you are young you don’t know what it is to play in a high competitive league and perform every third day. You don’t know you have to perform every training session. You need a lot of skills to be the best.”
Garnacho has tallied seven goals across all competitions this season and assisted in five others. Following their response to consecutive league losses against Fulham and Manchester City with a victory over Everton, United now focus on the FA Cup. They confront arch-rivals Liverpool in a quarter-final clash at Old Trafford next Sunday.
