Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag has admitted it is 'very difficult' to find a role within his squad for Alejandro Garnacho amid concerns over where he fits into Ruben Amorim's system. Although Garnacho has had a good season with Manchester United, scoring eight goals and contributing five assists, questions have been raised regarding his future at the club. His time at Old Trafford has been mixed, with the 20-year-old winger often finding himself out of favour under Ten Hag. Garnacho, who can play on either flank, has seen his opportunities limited by the form of his teammates and a lack of cohesion within the side. Despite being one of United's brightest stars, he has struggled to find a consistent role in Amorim's system. Ten Hag, speaking after United's 3-0 win over Leicester City when Ruud van Nistelrooy took interim charge, said: "I think it's very difficult when you don't have many players who can play in different positions. We have to look at the whole team, we have to look at the players we have. He can play on the left, on the right." "He can also play as the number 10. He can play on the wing, and he is the kind of player who can play a lot of positions up front. I think he's a really good player, but he's not a striker. He can play in midfield. He can play on the wing. He can play on the left, on the right. I think he's a really good player but at this moment, it's very difficult." United face a crucial period in the coming weeks as they look to secure their place in the top four, with just three games left to play. Garnacho's lack of game time has been a concern for fans, who have been calling for him to be given more opportunities to shine. But with Amorim's system not suiting his style of play, it remains to be seen if he'll have the opportunity to add more to his tally. Garnacho's future at Manchester United is uncertain, but it is clear that he faces a battle to prove himself in Amorim's system. He will need to work hard to earn his place back in the side and show that he can be a valuable asset for the team. With the transfer window approaching, it remains to be seen if Manchester United will decide to cash in on Garnacho or keep him for the remainder of the season. But one thing is certain - Garnacho's time at Old Trafford has been far from easy, and he will need to adapt quickly if he is to have any chance of impressing under Ten Hag.
