“Judging from his performance, he’ll win Ballon D’or next season…Everyone will be shocked”: Man United star praised for key quality that will help United’s Champions League bid

Alejandro Garnacho is undoubtedly the most skilled player in Manchester United, and there is one specific attribute that sets him apart and allows him to excel.

The 19-year-old delivered a fantastic display, earning United two penalties in their 2-0 victory over Everton.

Garnacho is currently experiencing his most successful individual season for the Premier League powerhouse, having scored seven goals and provided three assists.

His ability to use his speed and aggressively attack opposing defenses in the United’s offensive plays is widely recognized, and talkSPORT’s Tony Cascarino particularly admires this aspect of the Argentine’s game.

During an interview on the Weekend Sports Breakfast, the ex-Chelsea forward expressed admiration for Garnacho’s willingness to consistently engage in direct confrontations with opposing players.

“Throughout the years, Manchester United has had a succession of wingers, including notable players such as Stevie Coppell, Gordon Hill, and Ryan Giggs.”

“There are numerous individuals who are willing to challenge and confront a player, and he possesses that ability.”

“At times, he genuinely desires to challenge and outperform other players. Ultimately, he was the decisive factor that distinguished the two teams yesterday.”

Garnacho’s contributions in the match against Everton, including the successful penalties by Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford, may have a significant impact on Manchester United’s pursuit of a top-four position.

Erik ten Hag’s team is now trailing fourth-placed Aston Villa by a margin of eight points, with ten remaining matches in this season.

United achieved a third-place finish in the previous campaign, indicating that they have a significant amount of work ahead of them in order to duplicate this accomplishment.

However, a challenging encounter could potentially overwhelm them, resulting in them having to accept a position among the top seven instead.

Upcoming matches against Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle, and Arsenal are still pending in the remaining weeks.

Securing a spot in the Champions League is not guaranteed, but it would be premature to dismiss United’s chances in the competition.
