Man Utd’s Ten Hag hails Garnacho for ‘mature’ performance vs Wolves
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag called Alejandro Garnacho’s performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers “mature” after coming off the bench to seal a 2-0 win.
The Red Devils lost at West Ham United last time out and desperately needed a win against Wolves as fierce rivals Liverpool closed in on the Premier League top four.
Anthony Martial gave United the lead in the first half before Garnacho rounded it up in the 94th minute from a counter attack. It was the Argentine sensation’s first appearance in 12 competitive games having been ruled out with an ankle injury.
“Garna, everyone can see it,” Ten Hag said. “He came in and did almost everything good, and scored a great goal that will give him belief. It’s good for us for the rest of the season, that he’s back, and can have an impact.
“One of the aspects of the biggest talent is that they are mature. First, they take responsibility then second, they are mature to bring in the skills and have belief that they can dominate opponents.
“Once again, he did it. He has had a big impact in many games: whether starting or coming on, he’s straight into the game and that’s so important for the squad.
“I’m happy we can bring in young players and, hopefully, he will progress so quickly that he can compete for a starting XI position, because that is his next challenge.”
