What did Erik say to Garnacho pre-match?

Related Topics: Alejandro Garnacho, Nayefaguerd, Fred

With the scoreline locked at 1-1 heading into stoppage-time, our no.49 curled home a delightful finish to put us ahead and send Old Trafford into bedlam – preventing an additional 30 minutes of extra time, and sealing our place in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

We had trailed to a Said Benrahma strike early in the second half before Nayef Aguerd's own-goal brought United level inside the final quarter-of-an-hour, with Garnacho’s winner followed by a strike from Fred even deeper into stoppage-time.

Even aside from his goalscoring exploits, Garnacho put in a lively and impactful display down the left flank to earn the recognition of his manager in his post-match press conference.
