Man Utd winger Garnacho: Why I prefer wide left

Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho admits he's a naturally right-sided player.

The former Atletico Madrid junior has played on the left-side of United's midfield so far this season.

He told manutd.com: “I've always liked to play out wide on the left, as a right-footed player able to cut inside.

“To be able to play as a right-footed player down the left, you also have to be pretty decent with your weaker foot. From an early age, I've always practiced hard using both feet, because that makes you into a much better player and so nowadays I can play with both feet – not to perfection but to a good standard.

“Thankfully I was able to score those two goals with my other foot without too much difficulty."
