After committing his long-term future to Manchester United, Erik ten Hag wants Alejandro Garnacho to step up and push for a starting berth.
The gifted winger joined United from Atletico Madrid in 2020, as part of the final wave of international signings before Brexit laws changed.
Garnacho was voted Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year last season after playing a major role in United’s FA Youth Cup victory, and he made his first-team debut in April According to Betfest Telegram
Argentina’s youth international missed the preseason tour of Thailand and Australia after aggravating Ten Hag, but he has since won Ten Hag over and signed a new contract until 2028.
“First and foremost, I believe he has the prize, and it is a prize,” United manager Jose Mourinho said of Garnacho. “He also demonstrates that he can make the final step – not only in talent, but also in execution.”
“But now it’s a new beginning, a restart, because the expectations and demands will undoubtedly be higher.”
“He is on his way, he is a strong character and that’s why he’s there in the moment on this level, and he did it by himself.

“But now is coming more work to go because the demands are higher, we expect more from him.
“But it’s great he made it because it tells we will give young players opportunities, but they have to deserve it.
“When I say ‘give’, translate it to ‘deserve’ and they have to deserve with their feet, they have to show it on the pitch and that means you have to invest a lot and deserve it by training performances, by performance in the under-21s, then wait for your moment and prove it again.
