Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho may have hinted he wants to stay at Old Trafford - after showing his ability again in the team's 2-0 win over FCSB in the Europa League . Garnacho came off the bench at half time, making a real impact as he assisted Kobbie Mainoo's goal to make it 2-0 and fans will be delighted that he put in the hard yards for the team despite being linked with a move away. The 20-year-old has had interest from Napoli and Chelsea this month after initially struggling for minutes under Ruben Amorim.
However, the Argentine has started two of the last three matches, indicating that Amorim does see a future for him at the club. And after playing 45 minutes against FCSB, it's clear his passion for United is still there after twice being visibly frustrated with himself. At one stage of the game, Garnacho gifted possession to FCSB and looked angry with himself as he lifted his hands in the air.
Only minutes later Garnacho was guilty of giving the ball away once again - but this time he darted back trying to regain possession, which would have pleased Amorim after subbing him on. It was the perfect sign to the Portuguese boss that Garnacho wants to fight for his place and demands more for himself after struggling to show his quality early on in Amorim's reign. Napoli have already seen a £40m bid for Garnacho rejected and Chelsea are understood to be interested, with the player's agents recently seen at Stamford Bridge for the Blues' 3-1 win over Wolves .
Amorim has made no secret he is satisfied with the efforts Garnacho is putting in during training and matches ahead of their trip to Bucharest - and after the game he hailed his contribution. When asked if he and Christian Eriksen changed the game, he said: "Not entirely the game but ..
. in the first half, they ran a lot to cover all the spaces, then you feel that in the second half, the opponent also gets tired and it's for the guys that come in. "But, of course, Garna has a different pace and is more like a forward, a winger, he's different from Chris ( Christian Eriksen ) who was playing in that position.
Amad is really good on one-against-one and can push players to defend with him, open more space. It was good work from everybody." Join our new MAN UTD WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Manchester United content from Mirror Football.
