I give him a good nod just for the goal, but that&#8217;s because he knows I have big expectations for him.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/26\/19\/78254463-0-image-a-21_1701027473163.jpg\" height=\"495\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Bruno Fernandes jokingly claimed that Alejandro Garnacho did not deserve Man of the Match<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/26\/19\/78251141-0-Alejandro_Garnacho_s_wonderful_overhead_kick_opened_the_scoring_-a-22_1701027598218.jpg\" height=\"432\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Garnacho&#8217;s wonderful overhead kick was Man United&#8217;s first goal in a 3-0 win away at Everton<\/p>\n<p>The Man United captain said: &#8216;He&#8217;s a great player&#8217;, before quickly correcting himself. &#8216;He&#8217;s not a great player yet, but he has a great future ahead,&#8217; Fernandes said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We expect a lot from him, he knows that, I&#8217;ll always be behind him, asking for more. Honestly, amazing goal.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8216;A goal like this has to silence the crowd.

Obviously, I&#8217;m very happy to have him on my side.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Garnacho was awarded the Man of the Match prize at the conclusion of the interview, and while the Argentine player was thankful, Fernandes said: &#8216;I don&#8217;t think he deserves it, but take it. For the goal, so you can remember the goal.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The fallout could be a result of Garnacho&#8217;s Argentina beating Fernandes&#8217; Brazil in a World Cup qualifier in the week, or just an acceptance that several Man United players were possible recipients of the prize after their performance on Sunday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Sky Sports after the match, pundit Michael Dawson said: &#8216;Kobbie Mainoo, he was absolutely magnificent. He was calm and he was class, at the age of 18.
