Erik ten Hag reveals in an exclusive interview his admiration for the remarkable development of Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho at Manchester United.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has praised the progress of young talents Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho in an exclusive interview with TNT Sports.
Mainoo, 18, recently scored his first goal for the senior team in the FA Cup win over Newport County, while Garnacho, 19, has recorded four goals and two assists since making his Premier League debut in November.
Both players were part of the Manchester United team that won the FA Youth Cup in 2022 and have now become regular starters under Ten Hag. The manager believes that the future is bright for the club, with Mainoo, Garnacho, and other young talents like Rasmus Hojlund ready to contribute.
However, Ten Hag acknowledges the pressure that comes with playing for Manchester United and emphasizes the importance of performing and winning games. He believes that the club has the right characters and environment to support these young players, but they must find their own identity and continue to progress.
Mainoo has shown his versatility by contributing both defensively and offensively, while Garnacho’s impact has been noticeable with his high shot and chance creation statistics. Ten Hag attributes their success to their skills, attitude, and willingness to improve.
The upcoming match against Wolves will be broadcast live on TNT Sports, and fans can subscribe to the channel through various TV platforms. Ten Hag and his young talents will be looking to continue their impressive progress and secure a top-four finish in the Premier League.
