Manchester United are set to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup quarter-final today.
The Red Devils have won their previous two games in this competition by a combined 12-2 scoreline.
Speaking ahead of the clash, manager Ruben Amorim suggested that Alejandro Garnacho could return to action.
He said (via ManUtd.com): “Really good (his reaction to being dropped). Trained really well. He seems a little bit upset with me, and that is perfect.
“I was really, really happy because I would do the same, and he is ready for this game. So, we’ll see at the end of this training.”
Amorim dropped Marcus Rashford and Garnacho for United’s win at Manchester City on Sunday.
Garnacho must focus on learning
Early success is a fragile gift that demands both humility and careful stewardship.
Garnacho must recognise this and learn to ground himself, staying focused and grateful.
Former United manager Erik ten Hag described Garnacho as a player with ‘great qualities‘.
Having unwavering focus will help him become one of the best forwards in the world.
Garnacho could start as one of the number 10s at Tottenham, with Joshua Zirkzee spearheading the attack.
The Dutch international is expected to drop deeper, collecting the ball and linking up play.
Garnacho would be entrusted with the responsibility of making intelligent runs behind Tottenham’s defence.
His form in the League Cup has been exceptional, with three goals and three assists in just two matches.
A standout performance, combined with relentless work rate, will be key for him to catch Amorim’s eye and secure a regular spot.
