As Ronaldo cut ties with the Red Devils, it was rumored that Argentina international Alejandro Garnacho would inherit the iconic number 7 jersey.
What did Brown say about Garnacho?
Said jersey is now up for grabs at Old Trafford, with the great Premier League club making the decision to part ways with Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo after his explosive interview with Morgan. This spot in the ranks of Manchester United has previously been filled by the likes of David Beckham, Eric Cantona and Bryan Robson, with it yet to be determined who will be next to receive the player.
There has been talk of this responsibility being handed over to a young Argentine player, but former English footballer Wes Brown believes it is too early for a young footballer to take such a step up. The ex-Red Devils defender said it might not be easy yet, and he doesn’t mean it in a bad way. According to Wes Brown, Alejandro Garnacho is a great young player, he loves his attitude on the pitch, the way he wants it, the way he attacks.
“With small children sometimes it’s like ‘give me the ball and I’ll give it straight to you.’ But he doesn’t like it, he wants to show everyone how good he is,” says the Englishman. Alejandro Garnacho wants to do good for himself and good for the team.
Brown thinks the head coach held on to him too well for quite some time in that first period of the season. Wes knows that Alejandro trained with the guys every day and he was probably a little upset that he wasn’t involved a little earlier, but he says it helped him get that piece of anger to show that the young player is good enough. to play on this team. According to him, now it’s just about managing it.
