Alejandro Garnacho breaks another record, promises to be an impactful player for Manchester United

Substitute
Jack
Grealish
gave
Pep
Guardiola’s
side
the
lead
in
the
60th
minute
of
the
match
however
the
game
changed
onwards
the
18-year-old
came
into
the
pitch
in
the
70th
minute,
helping
his
side
get
a
valuable
2-1
win
in
the
Manchester
derby.

Despite
coming
on
so
late
in
the
game,
Garnacho
tested
the
City
backline
more
than
any
other
United
player.
His
ruthless
attempts
at
taking
on
his
man
let
United
take
advantage
of
the
clutter
that
followed
the
opening
goal.
For
the
second
goal,
Nathan
Ake
was
turned
the
wrong
way
by
Garnacho
in
order
to
square
a
pass
to
the
centre
which
precisely
drove
the
point
home
by
Marcus
Rashford.

Alejandro
Garnacho
creates
Record:

In
his
first
Manchester
derby
as
a
professional
player,
Garnacho
now
has
entered
into
the
record
book
as
well
to
become
the
youngest
ever
player
to
provide
an
assist
in
a
Premier
League
Manchester
derby
at
the
age
of
18
years
and
197
days.

He
made
three
great
passes,
one
major
chance
creation,
and
one
memorable
assist
during
his
cameo.
He
has
already
contributed
to
three
goals
in
his
last
four
games
in
2023.

THIS
CITY
IS
OUR
CITY!!❤️❤️@ManUtd

The
18-year-old
however
at
the
start
of
the
season
was
not
in
contention
for
the
first
team
set-up
due
to
disciplinary
issues.
The
youngster
apparently
missed
two
team
meetings
and
his
casual
approach
was
warned
by
the
United
manager
Erik
Ten
Hag.

However,
Garnacho
took
that
in
his
chin
and
pulled
his
socks
in
to
win
over
the
manager’s
trust.
He’s
now
very
much
a
key
player
under
Ten
Hag
and
expectancies
are
high
that
he
can
get
even
better
in
the
future.
Ten
Hag’s
belief
in
him
is
showing
and
the
young
player
is
expected
to
get
a
new
deal,
which
United
views
as
a
top
priority.
