“I haven’t seen a player like Lamine Yamal in the last eight or nine years. We had to put three players on him.” Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi said after the game.
“As a pure football talent, I’m going as far as to say I think Lamine Yamal is on another level to any player playing the game in the top 5 leagues in world football. 17 years old – Truly unbelievable”. Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand said.
Some Manchester United fans are not happy with Alejandro Garnacho’s comment under Lamine Yamal’s post, but it’s normal to appreciate talent. Marcus Rashford and Yamal followed each other on Instagram, and both players have praised themselves on multiple occasions.
Alejandro Garnacho has had a lot of goal contributions this season, but he knows he still has work to do. Although the team is still adapting to a new system under Ruben Amorim, but will be hoping to end the season with the Europa League trophy.
Manchester United have been linked with a move for top players this summer, but in order to bring them in, the club may need to qualify for UEFA Champions League football next season.
Multiple reports have stated that the likes of Viktor Gyokeres and Liam Delap are waiting to see which European competition the club qualifies to play next season before deciding on their future. Both strikers has a release clause that can be triggered.
“I didn’t talk to Viktor [Gyökeres], but if a player only wants to join Manchester United to play the Champions League, then that player will not come to United. We want players who want to represent United and not players who wanna play only certain competitions,” Ruben Amorim told SportTVPortugal.
