Alejandro Garnacho earned praise from Man United icon Wayne Rooney following Saturday's 2-0 win over Everton.
Wayne Rooney believes Alejandro Garnacho has been Manchester United's best player this season – but has challenged him to increase his attacking output.
He was a threat throughout the game, causing problems for the Everton rearguard down both flanks. The only criticism that could have been aimed at him was his indecisiveness when he found himself inside the box with the opportunity to test Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.READ MORE: United's next four fixtures compared with top four rivals
"I think you find with young players, when they pick the ball up, they're always very direct but that works really well for him so often," Rooney told TNT Sports. "It's sloppy from Godfrey to give the penalty away, but for me today, it was Garnacho who was the one that made everything happen today. "He's going to make mistakes, every player does, especially at his age, but he's still learning and what he has got is a drive and hunger which is something that any fan wants to see in any player so I've been really impressed with him this season and he'll be a talent for the future.
