Souness urges Man Utd whiz Garnacho to study Giggs videos

Liverpool hero Graeme Souness has offered advice to Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho.

Souness says the Argentina international should study videos of Ryan Giggs.

He wrote for the Daily Mail: "When I watch Garnacho, it looks as if there might be a real player in there. He has pace, technical ability, can finish and possesses a real boldness and confidence to take chances, as his two strikes against Aston Villa and his wonder goal at Everton proved. He's 19 and shows no fear.

"What frustrates me about him are his theatrics and the infernal holding his hand up to his head when he has a shot at goal and it goes 10 yards wide, as if it's a big drama. Did Ryan Giggs do that?

"To Garnacho, I say: 'Go and dig out some tapes of Giggs, the best winger we've seen in Britain in modern times and the finest since George Best was wearing a United shirt.' It's not all about you, son. Just get on with the game.

"That theatrical stuff is not necessary and it's not what top players do. It's irritating to watch.

"If he gets rid of that nonsense, he'll be a player worth watching, though as a teenager, he should be dipping in and out of the team and not be a main man for United."
