Erik ten Hag has hinted Manchester United fans will get to see more of Alejandro Garnacho in the position from which he wreaked havoc against Aston Villa last night.

Trailing 2-0 and booed off at half-time, United and Ten Hag appeared destined for another demoralising evening at Old Trafford in front of the watching Sir David Brailsford, who is set to take up a prime role under the new INEOS regime.
With their backs against the walls, however, United delivered their best 45 minutes of football so far this season and produced a classic comeback, inspired by their Argentine winger.
Garnacaho has spent the entirety of his club career stationed on the left wing, instructed to cut in on his stronger right foot but, with defences now wise to that tactic, he has cut a frustrated figure recently.
With Marcus Rashford restored to the starting line-up last night and deployed in his favourite role on the left, Ten Hag switched Garnacho’s role and it yielded a sensational performance.
The teenager scored twice in the second half and was only denied a hat-trick by a marginal VAR offside decision.
And, after watching his side produce their most cohesive attacking display of the campaign, Ten Hag believes Garnacho and an apparently rejuvenated Rashford proved they can play in the same starting XI.
