Undoubtedly one of the most clinical finishers in Manchester United’s history, Ruud van Nistelrooy couldn’t have reached the levels he did without a few howlers along the way.
Tonight, after the emphatic scenes that followed Joshua Zirkzee’s late winner on his debut, Alejandro Garnacho was brought straight back down to Earth when he missed essentially an open goal in the dying embers of added time.
Marcus Rashford was alert enough to latch on to the end of a loose ball after a complete miskick from Calvin Bassey and proceeded to unselfishly play in his attacking counterpart – despite being perfectly set up for a shot himself.
Then, when 70,000+ fans expected to see Bernd Leno’s net ripple, Garnacho was left red-faced while watching his strike drag wide of the post.
