Alejandro Garnacho’s foul against Southampton has been criticized by BBC journalist Simon Stone.
In the 19th minute, Rasmus Hojlund made a great run down the left and made a pass to the Argentine, who put it away.
“The Argentine reaches great positions but is wasteful. It’s been a constant theme this season. Amorim has admitted that his team does not score enough goals. That’s another one that’s gone.”
A half to forget for Garnacho and Manchester United
Garnatxo not only committed a terrible foul, but landed on low rating of 6.4/10 on SofaScore for the first half, an amount that is quite poor by their standards.
Things went from bad to worse for United and Garnacho as the Premier League strugglers found the net at Old Trafford for the opener.
A corner from the Saints bounced off Manuel Ugarte and into the net to give the visiting team an advantage.
Southampton have won just once all season and could be set for a season-defining win.
Amorim has been at United since November but has yet to hit a good run of form. The club have had flashes of brilliance, such as their heroic win over Arsenal in the FA Cup third round last week, but have often come up short.
This is what the former Sporting CP coach said things would take a while to turn around.
“I have to sell my idea,” he said at a press conference. “If I’m going to change all the time, it’s going to be even worse.
“But I understand that they have a lot of difficulties because they spend two years playing one way and then they are playing another and with many defeats, it costs them a lot and you feel it during the game.
