Manchester United puts in extra work after wasting open goal chance in Fulham win

Alejandro Garnacho put in some extra work after being left frustrated by his open goal miss against Fulham in the Premier League curtain-raiser on Friday night.

Luckily for United, it wasn’t costly in the sense we won the game 1-0 thanks to a Joshua Zirkzee winner.

After missing an open goal late in the match, the Daily Mail claims Garnacho headed to the NAS Elite Sports Performance Centre, a favourite for Premier League stars.

The facility has been used by Kobbie Mainoo and Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the past, and it’s seen as a way to get extra training of a high standard.

Clients have access to physiotherapy, osteopathy, strength and conditioning, nutritional support and wellness essentials including phlebotomy service, IV Drip Therapy, and vitamin shots.

This shows Garnacho’s appetite to improve this season. He will want to add more goals and consistency to his performance, but last season he was our most lethal threat going forward.

The Argentina international is a special talent and we can’t wait to watch him blossom at Old Trafford.

Next up for United is a trip to Brighton and Garnacho will be hoping for his first goal of the season as well as his first start.
