In Manchester United's final encounter against Real Sociedad in the group stage of the Europa League, Alejandro Garnacho scored a goal for the club.
Erik ten Hag is confident that Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho will become a "reliable" attacker in the near future.
Garnacho was recalled to the starting XI a week after making an enterprising full debut against FC Sheriff. In the following game, Real Sociedad, which Real Sociedad won 1-0 in the Europa League, Garnacho scored his first goal in his professional career.Garnacho did not play during United's preseason tour of Thailand and Australia because of his poor attitude, as revealed by Ten Hag just last week. During that time, Garnacho traveled with the team but did not participate in any matches.
This season, the 18-year-old player made a cameo appearance three times before getting the starting nod against Sheriff. Additionally, Garnacho was demoted to the Under-21 team to play in EFL Trophy matches against Carlisle and Barrow.
Garnacho performed admirably on the left wing and scored the lone goal in San Sebastian, despite the fact that Jadon Sancho, Anthony Martial, and Antony were all absent due to illness or injury.
Ten Hag expressed his displeasure by stating, "Of course, we are disappointed that we were not successful in scoring with a two-goal difference." "However, we came out on top, kept a clean sheet, and now have more options in the forward line thanks to Garnacho.
"He is making great strides in his development. I have high hopes that he will be able to maintain that attitude. When he is dependable, you see that he is a threat because he can create, he can give final passes, and he can score goals, so the process is beneficial."
Ten Hag showed signs of irritation with the referees and assistant referees on multiple occasions in the second half, but he was gracious during his post-game press conference."The fans of (Sociedad) did everything in their power to create an atmosphere that would slow down the pace of the game, and it appears as though their efforts were successful because their team only fell short by a score of 1-0.
"They have my congratulations on their victory. Although we are always disheartened when we are not ranked number one, we have some encouraging things to take with us to Manchester because we are a united team."
