Erik ten Hag Manchester United manager has lavished praise on Alejandro Garnacho, who has been impressive for the Old Trafford outfit in the 22/23 season.
The 18-year-old has featured in 15 games across all competitions for Manchester United in the current campaign and has racked up two goals and five assists.
He also came off the bench and delivered an excellent display in the Red Devils’ 2-1 win over Manchester City in the Premier League last week. Erik ten Hag introduced Alejandro Garnacho in the 72nd minute of the game when the Red Devils were trailing the game by a goal.
After Bruno Fernandes scored a goal in the 78th minute to restore parity, Alejandro Garnacho set up Marcus Rashford to score the winner for Manchester United as the Red Devils earned all three points from the fixture.
Erik ten Hag says there is a lot more to come from Alejandro Garnacho
Speaking to reporters, Erik ten Hag heaped praise on Alejandro Garnacho, who he said has a skill that not many in the Premier League have – the ability to beat players in one on one situations.
Erik ten Hag also warned there is a lot more to come from Alejandro Garnacho and the Argentine youngster has a lot of room for improvement.
“He has a skill that I don’t see many players in the Premier League having — he beats players one-on-one. He has learnt in the last months about how to play in a team, how to live, how to do the right things in the week, how to have the right attitude on the training ground and you see how he’s acting as a team player and with his individual skills that can make the difference,” Erik ten Hag said.
“Also for him, it’s to keep going in the process. It’s not done. There is a lot to come. There is a lot of room for improvement with him but he can help, he can contribute on the highest level already and I’m thrilled. It’s a bonus for us as a club that you bring in young players and they can come not only into the squad but the team and I think that is a part of our project that has to contribute to our success.”
