WHAT NEXT FOR GARNACHO?
Despite his lack of form, Garnacho will continue on as a regular for Amorim in the squad, as the entire squad has struggled since the Portuguese boss' arrival, and he will not be keen on trying new combinations when United take on Lyon in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final clash.
