Ten Hag on Garnacho: “His next goal is to compete for a place in the eleven”

After Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Wolves with Alejandro Garnacho’s goal on the hour mark, Erik Ten Hag praised the Argentine striker and his progress in the current season. He worked very hard to recover. We are very happy to have him back and the impact he had. I think he did almost everything right, the goal gave him confidence and that’s very important for the next few weeks,” said the Red Devils coach. Ten Hag said: “I’m happy for him and I hope he progresses so quickly that he can compete for a place in the eleven, because that’s his next goal. Sometimes he lacks in defensive transition and pressure. You have to take a step forward, when to take action, they are decisions. When to enter the one-on-one, when to get behind, when to kick the goal, when to give the extra pass or when to give the assist instead of going for the own goal. Decisions make a good player a top player,” he analyzed then. In that line, the former Dutch footballer pointed out that “one of the aspects of the greatest talents is that they are mature. First, they take responsibility and second, they are mature. To bring their skills, they believe they can dominate rivals. And Garnacho once again did it.” With his goal against Wolves, the Argentine reached three goals scored in the current season, with only four games as a starter in the Manchester cast.
