Alejandro Garnacho has not started for Man United since their opening win over Wolves and he was unused against Burnley.
Manager Erik ten Hag was happy with the way Manchester United was organised, thus Alejandro Garnacho did not enter the game against Burnley.
Despite United fans appearing to be asking for his introduction by screaming his name halfway through the second half, Garnacho was not deployed as a substitute in United’s 1-0 victory at Turf Moor on Saturday night.
The 19-year-old has only made one start this season, in the team’s victory over Wolves. Roberto Garnacho, the 19-year-old’s younger brother, deleted a tweet in which he included a laughing emoji that seemed to allude to his sibling’s unutilized status.
On a night when United didn’t make an attacking substitute, Ten Hag replaced the sick Sergio Reguilon with Raphael Varane and the worn-out Jonny Evans with Sofyan Amrabat, making his debut.
“He (Garnacho) was in against Munich and I believed our team was doing extremely well,” Ten Hag remarked. “So I wouldn’t change that tonight since this game was a demand to preserve that organisation. I wouldn’t change for that reason.
“I noticed that even if it was just 1-0, the players still had potential, good fitness levels, and energy. In spite of the fact that everything is working against us right now, I wouldn’t change anything because Burnley recently scored a goal that was disallowed.
“I don’t want to say if it was the right or wrong choice, but once more, the timing was not in our favour. I wanted to prevent it and stick with this team since they were effective.
