Both Alejandro Garnacho and Heung-min Son will have one eye fixated on the much-awaited Europa League final between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur this month.
Ange Postecoglou will be counting on his South Korean captain to show up in Bilbao, despite the fact that Son has struggled for Spurs this season despite being a Tottenham and Premier League hero.
Garnacho would give the Manchester United supporters a farewell gift by playing in the final, and Chelsea is interested in signing him.
Being quick is something Heung-min Son and Alejandro Garnacho have in common. In a game that might go either way, both players could threaten the other’s backlines by scuttling past them.
Paul Scholes was selecting a combined starting lineup for TNT Sports from the players of Manchester United and Tottenham in anticipation of the Europa League final.
Paul Scholes says Alejandro Garnacho is better than Heung-min Son
Scholes selected Guglielmo Vicario over Andre Onana to be the goalie.
Paul Scholes chose Diogo Dalot and Patrick Dorgu as his full-back duo instead of Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie, while he also chose Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven for central defense.
Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, and Manuel Ugarte were selected by the United legend for the midfield.
Amad Diallo replaced Dejan Kulusevski, Garnacho replaced Son, and Dominic Solanke replaced Rasmus Hojlund in the front three.
Four players from Tottenham and seven from Manchester United made up Scholes’ combined starting lineup.
Alejandro Garnacho vs Heung-min Son stats this season
Archie Gray and possibly many others in the game view Son as “world-class,” thus Paul Scholes’ preference for Garnacho is a little unexpected.
But Kobbie Mainoo also thinks highly of Garnacho, and at just 20, he has the potential to be a top player in the future.
However, the statistics show that Son still holds the advantage over Garnacho based on this season.
| STATS THIS SEASON | HEUNG-MIN SON | ALEJANDRO GARNACHO |
| STARTS | 36 | 36 |
| GOALS | 11 | 11 |
| ASSISTS | 12 | 10 |
This season, both players have made 36 starts across all competitions.
Even though Son plays for Tottenham, a team that is 17th in the Premier League standings and below Manchester United, he has as many goals as Garnacho and two more assists.
