RUBEN AMORIM has warned Alejandro Garnacho that he must adapt to a different style of play if he wants to secure a future at Manchester United.

The Portuguese manager acknowledged that the 20-year-old winger doesn’t naturally fit into his system, requiring Garnacho to adjust to a new approach.

His lack of action has alerted sides in Europe with Napoli among the clubs monitoring his situation as they look to potentially replace PSG bound Kvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Reports have emerged claiming United want a fee of around £70m for Garnacho.

Sunday’s FA Cup triumph at Arsenal was the Argentinian’s first start since he was axed from the squad for the Manchester derby last month.

And Amorim wants to give him more opportunities – providing he is willing to change.

He said: “That is clear – he has talent. He needs to learn to play in a different position. He needs to play better inside.

“He’s improved a lot in the recovering position when he doesn’t have the ball.

“But doing that, sometimes he is not in the right place to make transitions like he was in the past.

“I prefer to defend and then build up with all the team to reach the final third. He’s finding the best way to play in this system.

“He’s improving during training. He started the last game. Let’s see on Thursday now.

“I think he changed the way he sees himself.”

Amorim also added that he will learn more from the clash with Southampton tomorrow than he did against Liverpool and Arsenal.

The manager said: “This next game will teach me more about my players than the last two.

“So I’m focused to see what kind of game we will play.

“There was no expectation for us in the last two games, nobody expected us to win but now they are expecting us to win and play well.

“So we will learn more.”
