Chants of ‘Viva Garnacho’ rang out around Old Trafford after the exciting Argentinian opened the scoring in our Carabao Cup triumph against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
Garnacho converted from Diogo Dalot’s low cross in the first half to set us on our way to a convincing 3-0 win over Roy Hodgson’s side – with Casemiro and Anthony Martial also getting on the scoresheet in M16.
Our no.49 started the Reds’ opening two matches of the season, but his three latest appearances - prior to the Palace clash - had all come from the bench.
The youngster was an unused substitute against Burnley at the weekend and, when asked in his post-match press conference how Garnacho can progress to being a regular, Ten Hag explained that he wants to see more from the 19-year-old.
