Ruben Amorim noted that Alejandro Garnacho “has changed in everything” since he took over at Manchester United and continues to improve him, with Crystal Palace the next.
The 20-year-old was dropped for the Manchester Derby in December, but has apparently been impressed by his response since then. Garnacho came from the bank in the 2-0 Europa League victory on Thursday at FCSB and set up the goal of Kobbie Mainoo.
United has protected their automatic place in the last 16 of the competition and now wants to translate that form to the Premier League, where they have only lost one of their last four games.
The Red Devils start the weekend 12th in the table, but Amorim hopes that he can have an impact on Sunday.
“He changed immediately since that match against Manchester City, the way he understands things, he understands that I just want to help him, and I just want to win games,” Amorim said.
“He turned into everything – the approach when I talk to him, the way he recovers, he sometimes understands that I am another coach and that I ask in my own way. He understands it 1738368930 That it is never in a bad way – it's always for him.
“I think all the merit is for Garnacho. He improves and we want to keep improving with Garnacho.”

In the meantime, Palace wants to jump back after a 2-1 defeat against Brentford last weekend, which ended an unbeaten line of five games in the Premier League.
A victory on Sunday would jump in the table in the table, but Oliver Glasner confirmed that his match was given injuries.
Cheick Doucoure and Chadi Riad have both sustained seasonal injuries, but the Eagles will also be without the influential Ebereechi.
“He [Eze] got a knock in the competitionup match [against Arsenal] With the emirates and since then he has always had pain, train and not training, playing and then pulling him out … “said Glasner.
“Last week he hardly trained all week, and this week it started again. We decided that we want to get him pain -free, so that he can perform at his best level so that he does not go with us Manchester.”
Players to watch
Manchester United – Manuel Ugarte
From players to play 500+ minutes this season, only Bournemouth's Tyler Adams (4.8) made more tackles per 90 minutes in the Premier League than Manuel Ugarte (4.5).
It is most of a Red Devils player to play 10+ games in a season since Rafael in 2011-12 (4.8), while it is the most by a midfielder since Owen Hargreaves in 2007-08 (4.8).
Crystal Palace – Romain Esse
Romain Esse delivered only 119 seconds on his Premier League debut after he had contracted the previous time out against Brentford.
The 19-year-old only wants to become the fourth teenager who scored in his first two performances, after Alan Smith for Leeds in 1998, Federico Macheda for Man Utd in 2009 and Anthony Martial for Man Utd in 2015.
