Although it appears like Manchester United needs something big to end their current awful streak, the solution might be far easier than initially believed…
What is causing Manchester United to struggle so much?
Erik ten Hag could undoubtedly make some minor adjustments to lessen their egregious mistakes, even though their main problems may be attributed to the Glazers, the toxic environment in the locker room, or a lack of technical and tactical skill.
Even the most jaded fan may argue whether or not to stick with Bruno Fernandes at the flank, considering the Portuguese superstar’s historical impact in the centre and the potential impact of the wingers he is holding off the team on the play.
Even though the former Sporting CP star is among the most inventive players in the Premier League, he lacks the necessary speed and energy to be a successful wing winger. Particularly considering that he played attacking midfield during his first full year in England, where he finished with 28 goals and 17 assists in all competitions…
Analyst “Bruno Fernandes has made an impact beyond what anyone could have expected,” said Gary Neville, “but I was worried the club wasn’t going to support him in the transfer market.” Not only while in control, but also when not – the way he runs and approaches individuals. It appears that everyone is feeling the effects of his hunger.” Roy Keane, who was formerly his teammate at Old Trafford, would agree, saying, “He’s lifted everybody at the club.” Like he’s been there for twenty years. He is very exceptional.”
Putting him back in that position might enable him to flourish once more, leading the team as the Irishman proposed and providing a much-needed boost for the right flank in the form of Alejandro Garnacho.
Alejandro Garnacho’s level of skill.
Even though Antony seems like the most obvious choice to start again after spending £86 million to sign him from Ajax in the summer of 2022, his performances haven’t been great, and given his lack of speed and ability to beat a man, he doesn’t really differ from Fernandes in terms of presence.
He only managed four goals and two assists in the Premier League alone last season, which shocked talkSPORT commentator Gabby Agbonlahor. “But when I look at Antony, there’s been a few big transfers in the Premier League, £86million for him…,” she said. In my opinion, he is a dolt. He doesn’t seem to take a player on when he has the ball, in my opinion. He lacks the quickness to keep up with players.
The Argentine “animal,” as commentator Christian Martin dubbed him, was commended by Paul Scholes for his physical attributes, which might potentially prove to be crucial: “This crowd loves entertainment and this lad was really entertaining, almost like a young Cristiano.” He could go both ways, which makes him so unpredictable, which pleased me. Some wingers can only go one way.”
Furthermore, although though the 19-year-old was four years younger than Antony and had much less senior experience, he nonetheless finished the previous season with 12 goal contributions across all competitions, one less than Antony’s total.
By bringing Garnacho into the starting lineup, Fernandes would be able to flourish in his preferred role and help Old Trafford get back on track. Garnacho would also add raw pace and cunning to terrorise opponents.
