The midfielder gave a prickly interview to Sky Sports after the game in which he bluntly suggested that Garnacho\u2019s wonder-strike was the only element of his performance that deserved praise.<\/p>\n<p>Fernandes instead felt that full debutant Kobbie Mainoo deserved to be credited with being the best player after the 3-0 victory at Goodison Park. Garnacho\u2019s early bicycle kick put the Red Devils on their way to a comfortable triumph on Merseyside.<\/p>\n<p>But Garnacho\u2019s stunning effort was not enough to win over Fernandes. In a spiky interview, the 29-year-old playmaker said he would only praise the winger for his goal &#8211; an incredible acrobatic effort from an angle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll give him a good note just for the goal. But that\u2019s because he knows I have big expectations for him,\u201d Fernandes said.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE: <\/strong> <strong>Man Utd escape nightmare transfer saga but Bayern Munich not going away[TRANSFERS] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Bruno-Fernandes-Alejandro-Garnacho-5089774.jpg?r=1701184599812\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s not a great player yet, but he has a big future ahead. We expect a lot from him. He knows that, even more from me. I\u2019ll always be behind him asking for more. Amazing goal though.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, the Portugal midfielder now appears to have gone back on that verdict. Speaking ahead of United\u2019s crunch visit to Galatasaray, Fernandes pointed out that there were other elements of Garnacho\u2019s performance that deserved praise.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he has seen Garnacho practice the acrobatic effort that saw him score against the Toffees, Fernandes responded: &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if he has been training that, it&#8217;s not going to be good for his back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has that special talent for big moments. But I&#8217;m more happy for his work off the ball, against Everton the best game he has done until now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> DON&#8217;T MISS&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Garnacho&#8217;s acting hero urges him to ditch Man Utd after Everton screamer[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd urged to steal sporting director who rejected Sir Alex Ferguson[NEWS] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag fires back at Roy Keane and issues warning to Mainoo[QUOTES] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Man-Utd-Alejandro-Garnacho-Everton-5089777.jpg?r=1701184599867\"><\/p>\n<p>There has been a conscious effort within Old Trafford to keep Garnacho\u2019s feet on the floor.
