A Square Peg in Amorim’s Round Hole…
Ah, Manchester United, the great theatre of dreams. Except this time, it’s more like a pantomime of problems! Alejandro Garnacho, the budding star destined to shine brighter than the floodlights at Old Trafford, finds himself like a mouse in a tiger’s den. Post-monsoon, October’s exit of Ten Hag and November’s winds bringing in Ruben Amorim have left young Garnacho – who’s more inclined to frolic on the wings – feeling like a fish stuck on dry land. Ruben’s master plan with all its wibbly-wobbly moving parts sees Garnacho’s versatility stretched to the point of resembling a particularly anxious rubber band!
Before you ask, no, they didn’t try fitting Garnacho for a wing-back role just for kicks and giggles. The lad’s attacking prowess is nothing short of a fireworks display on the fourth of July, dazzling but with a somewhat predictable lack of defensive responsibility. Given Manchester United’s shopping list reads longer than Santa’s wishlist, selling our young dynamo may be the bizarre, twisted solution to fund Amorim’s next wishlist. Ineos can’t be expected to make it rain cash every transfer window, after all!
Garnacho’s not just sending out friend requests like it’s the 2000s, mingling and warming up to the likes of Barcelona’s wonder-kid, Lamine Yamal, declaring him the best in the cosmos. Some purists may see this as blasphemous behavior, but hey, footballers and their social antics never cease to amaze! Meanwhile, Garnacho’s bond with Manchester, competitive spirit, and Instagram feeds will tell if his feet (and his heart) will continue sporting those red, proud socks of United, or if summer trade winds will whisk him away to another vibrant stage!
