MANCHESTER, England -- Whatever happens to Manchester United between now and the end of the season, manager Erik ten Hag can at least point to the emergence of Rasmus Højlund, Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo as positives from an otherwise forgettable campaign.

It was fitting that the trio, all under the age of 21, sat up on the advertising boards in front of the Stretford End after Garnacho had scored United's second goal in a 3-0 win against West Ham on Sunday. Ten Hag will hope that the image is still being passed around and posted on social media in 10 years' time -- a first glimpse of players who would go on to become the core of the next great United team.
