EKO HOT BLOG reports that Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag has revealed that he plans to utilise the current wave of young talent at Manchester United, starting with Argentinian sensation Alejandro Garnacho, according to reports.

As the new United manager looks to pre-season, he will no doubt be impressed by the abundance of youth stars at his disposal and he looks set to promote 17-year-old Garnacho immediately.

“Erik ten Hag has told senior staff at Old Trafford he intends to fast-track teen sensation Alejandro Garnacho’s Manchester United career,”

“Ten Hag is already planning for 17-year-old Garnacho, signed from Atletico Madrid in 2020, to play a much bigger role next season.”

After a whirlwind few months, the South American has seen his chances increase and has certainly made the most of them.

The young attacker was only handed his first Premier League start by Ralf Rangnick against Chelsea at the end of last season.

But he has since gone on to score twice in the FA Youth Cup Final, securing a win for United for the first time in a decade.

After playing for his native Spain at the youth level, the youngster opted to represent Argentina after qualifying through his mother’s heritage.

And following a starring role in his chosen country’s recent U20 tournament, scoring 4 goals in 4 games, he was quickly promoted to the first team alongside superstar Lionel Messi.

And his coach at the international youth level, former Liverpool player Javier Mascherano, sees a bright future for the United player.

“Alejandro is a great player with a lot of potential for growing” said Mascherano. “It is clear that by playing in the club he plays for, and above all the importance his club gives him for the future, it is up to him to show what he is capable of.”
