“Doesn’t work…” Rúben Amorim told to bench 12 g/a Manchester United star vs Everton

Rúben Amorim has been told he should use Alejandro Garnacho as a substitute against Everton as his current Manchester United role doesn’t suit him.

Rúben Amorim is gearing up for his second Premier League match as Manchester United‘s head coach, with Everton visiting Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

United started Amorim’s tenure with a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town, followed by a thrilling 3-2 win over Bodo/Glimt, building on the foundation left by Ruud van Nistelrooy.

This will be Amorim’s first Premier League match at Old Trafford, following his debut appearance at the stadium on Thursday evening. With points needed to climb the table, the pressure is on for a strong performance.

United currently sit 12th in the league with 16 points, six behind Arsenal and Chelsea in the race for Champions League qualification.

Parker advises Amorim

Speaking to bonuscodebets, former United defender Paul Parker explained that he thinks Alejandro Garnacho should come off the bench rather than play in the right No. 10 role.

Garnacho has started both of Amorim’s first two games in the position and scored against Bodo/Glimt but has received criticism for his finishing touch.

“We’ve already seen that Garnacho is better off the bench,” Parker said. “He gets caught up and tries to do the most difficult thing when he starts games.

“He should be a simple player like Steve Coppell. He hasn’t got tricks to beat players but should try to grind players down with perseverance and work ethic. He seems to want to do tricks.

“He also needs to work on his decision-making, which is very, very poor when he gets on the ball. His passing can be poor, and he doesn’t know when to take players on. Those are the areas he needs to work on.

“Garnacho in the ten doesn’t work because his decision-making is poor, and he’s not explosive. He doesn’t get his head up enough.

“Football has become selfish, and Garnacho needs a mentor, but I don’t think he wants to listen. He’ll quickly become a big part player. Coming from the academy gives you a better start, but then you’ve gotta prove the investment from the club was worth it”. 

“People say Garnacho is young, but I played with Ryan Giggs at that age, and he was far and ahead. All the young players I played with were far ahead of him. Good decision-makers, and they listened to those around them. He’s playing for himself, and he’s got to stop trying to impersonate other players and be his own player.”
