Bruno Fernandes criticizes Garnacho, a member of his Man United team

Alejandro Garnacho’s attitude issue, according to Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes, is the reason he didn’t receive opportunities in the squad early.

On Thursday night, Garnacho scored his first goal as a senior for the Red Devils as they defeated Real Sociedad 1-0 in the Europa League.

Under Erik ten Hag, the 18-year-old has seldom played this season.

The midfielder did not merit a starting position until he showed indications of development, according to Fernandes.

“He wasn’t at his best at the start of the season. He didn’t have the finest attitude on the [pre-season] tour, which is why he didn’t receive his opportunity until now.

As Fernandes told BT Sport, “He’s getting his opportunities because he’s working better, he’s got a new mindset, and he’s worthy of his chances.”
