Manchester United got the win, but it wasn’t enough. They needed to beat Real Sociedad by a two-goal margin on Thursday night in order to finish top of their UEFA Europa League group, but it wasn’t to be. Although their promising youngster Alejandro Garnacho broke onto the scene by scoring the winner, manager Erik Ten Hag bemoans missed chances and admits his team is in need of more proven goalscorers.##NAJAVA_MECA_6787037##Ten Hag was pleased with Garnacho – who overtook the legendary George Best as the club’s youngest non-English goalscorer in major European competition – but says United must work on their effectiveness in the final third.”We need options. We have problems in the final third. Antony not available, Anthony Martial not available, Jadon Sancho not available, but I’m really happy with that performance and I hope he can keep the process going. Garnacho was a threat, he scored a goal, he was reliable defending so if you can keep this going I’m really happy.”According to reports coming from Spain, United will try again to tempt Atletico Madrid’s out-of-favour forward Joao Felix. The 22-year-old Portuguese international has been linked with a move to Old Trafford on numerous occasions before.United should free Joao Felix from that prison in Spain. #mufcpic.twitter.com/H4Ep0kimMk— King Melvin (@melvinnasasira) November 2, 2022 Atletico Madrid could be forced to sell him in the coming months to cut the cost of their expensive squad. That’s where Manchester United’s sporting director John Murtough sees his chance of capturing the forward, who’s been frustrated with Diego Simeone’s rigid style that stifles his attacking potential. Is he the solution they’re looking for at Old Trafford? There will be more news on this, especially after the World Cup.
