Garnacho Proof, Gyokeres Inspiration: Man Utd vs PAOK
Man United strolled to a comfortable 3-0 win over PAOK in their pre-season friendly, with Alejandro Garnacho proving his worth and Viktor Gyokeres providing an exciting glimpse into the future.
The Red Devils were looking to build on their impressive win against Leeds in their previous friendly and they certainly did that. They dominated possession, created numerous chances, and looked sharp in attack.
Garnacho Shines Again
Alejandro Garnacho, who's been making waves in pre-season, continued his impressive form with a goal and an assist. The young winger looks like a real threat for Man Utd and his confidence is sky high.
He was instrumental in the opening goal, cutting inside from the left flank and delivering a pinpoint cross for Anthony Martial to head home. He then bagged a second in the 30th minute with a cool finish after a neat one-two with Hannibal Mejbri.
Gyokeres Makes His Mark
The introduction of Viktor Gyokeres in the second half was a real talking point. The Swedish striker, recently signed from Coventry, showed exactly why United splashed the cash for him. He looked dangerous throughout his cameo, showing great movement and intelligent positioning.
He nearly bagged a goal early on in his time on the pitch, hitting the woodwork with a powerful header. His performance was enough to get the fans excited about his potential and what he could bring to the team.
A Positive Pre-Season Continues
The win against PAOK keeps the feel-good factor around Old Trafford going. Erik ten Hag is clearly instilling his philosophy into the team and they're responding well. With the Premier League season just around the corner, the early signs are very positive for United.
The performance of Garnacho and the potential displayed by Gyokeres will certainly have fans buzzing with excitement. Man United is starting to look like a real threat this season.
