“I’ve seen it in training—he’s ready to show his great quality. We’ve been waiting for the right moment, and now it’s time to give him the chance he deserves” — Ruben Amorim hints at a game-changing decision to unleash a Manchester United star against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup.

Manchester United are gearing up to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals later today.

The Red Devils have been in commanding form in this competition, winning their last two matches with a combined score of 12-2.

Speaking ahead of the match, manager Ruben Amorim hinted at Alejandro Garnacho’s potential return to the squad. He remarked (via ManUtd.com):
“His reaction to being dropped was really good. He trained exceptionally well and seemed a little upset with me—which is exactly what I want to see. I’m very happy with his response, and he’s ready for this game. We’ll make the final call after training.”

Amorim had previously left both Marcus Rashford and Garnacho out of the squad for United’s dramatic victory over Manchester City on Sunday.

Garnacho Must Embrace Learning
Early success can be fleeting if not handled with humility and dedication. Garnacho needs to stay grounded, focused, and appreciative of the opportunities in front of him.

Former United boss Erik ten Hag once praised Garnacho’s “great qualities,” and with the right mindset, he has the potential to become one of the world’s top forwards.

Against Tottenham, Garnacho is expected to feature as one of the attacking midfielders supporting Joshua Zirkzee, who will lead the line. The Dutch striker is likely to play a deeper role, facilitating the build-up and linking the attack.

Garnacho’s primary role will involve making sharp, intelligent runs behind Tottenham’s defense. His current League Cup form is outstanding, with three goals and three assists in just two matches.

To secure a regular starting spot, Garnacho will need to deliver another standout performance, demonstrating not only his talent but also his relentless work ethic.
