Manchester United made the most of
Alejandro Garnacho
's speed and dribbling
.
The 19-year-old striker born in Madrid, but with Argentine ancestry (he was already scouted by Lionel Scaloni to play for the national team) was the great figure of the
Red Devils
in the
2-0 victory over Everton
.
At Old Trafford, Garnacho started in the team led by the Dutchman
Erik Ten Hag
, for matchday 28 of the Premier League.
The Argentine played as a right winger and gave the Liverpool defense a nightmare.
Only 9 minutes had passed when
Garnacho entered the area at full speed
as the left pointer.
He dominated the ball and hooked it to go out on his right leg, but
James Tarkowski
touched his support foot and the Argentine dropped.
Penal.
Bruno Fernandes
did not fail and the home team went 1-0 on the scoreboard.

A little while later, around 34 minutes into the first half,
Garnacho did his thing again
.
He took the ball as a right pointer and headed towards the area.
He first left James Garner in the way, then Amadou Mvom Onana and when he entered the area the one who came out to the cross and brought him down was Ben Godfrey.

For referee
Simon Hooper
the play was clear and he awarded a penalty for United again.
This time the one who took charge of taking the maximum penalty was
Marcus Rashford
who managed to deceive goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and made it 2-0.
RASHFORD WITH THE SECOND!

In the second half, Garnacho maintained his level and was Manchester United's clearest and most dangerous player.
He looked for his goal, but he was erratic when it came to defining (he had two clear plays) and was replaced shortly before the end by the Brazilian Antony.
Alejandro Garnacho completed one of his best performances of the season with Manchester United in which he has played 26 Premier League games with 5 goals and 5 assists;
6 for Champions League with one goal;
3 for the FA Cup and 2 more for the League Cup (one goal).
