Why Ten Hag doesn't hand out opportunities
The South American duo will be champing at the bit to be involved in Saturday’s Emirates FA Cup tie with Reading, having made substitute appearances during Wednesday’s 3-0 success at Nottingham Forest.
The former has played 18 times under Ten Hag this season, scoring two goals and Facundo’s cameo at The City Ground followed his competitive debut against Charlton Athletic – also in the Carabao Cup – earlier this month.
While the narrative around the domestic cup competitions can be of managers giving young players their moment in the spotlight, Erik continues to insist that this involvement is merited – a requirement both Garnacho and Pellistri pair are currently fulfilling.
