Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag praised the impact of Alejandro Garnacho after victory over Wolves.

Garnacho struck after coming off the bench for the 2-0 win.

“Garna, everyone can see it," Ten Hag later 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," he continued. “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."

On what Garnacho must do to go to the next level, Ten Hag added: “Making decisions, being aware, scanning situations, when to go one-on-one, get behind, when to go for goal or make an extra pass.

“Decisions like that are what makes a good player a top player – that is the difference. But when you see it overall, he's a huge talent and very brave.

“It shows that the pathway is open for young players at United. And if you work in the right way, work hard, we can guide you to get into the team. But, in the end, it's about the player – he has to invest and have a plan to do it."
