Manchester United supporters were amazed by Alejandro Garnacho's display despite their 4-3 Premier League loss to Brentford on Sunday, May 4. United have now extended their winless league streak to six games following the defeat at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Having registered a three-goal lead in the first leg of the Europa League semifinal against Athletic Club midweek, Ruben Amorim decided to rotate the squad. However, Garnacho was named in the starting XI to help United register a much-needed league win.
Despite scoring one goal and providing one assist, Garnacho's efforts were not enough to save the day for Manchester United. In his stint, the Argentine registered a passing accuracy of 79% (31/39). He provided five key passes, created one big chance, and registered one shot on target (via Sofascore).
