Garnacho started for the first time for Manchester United and was a real livewire, but Ten Hag told reporters after the game he has not always been happy with the Argentine because of his attitude to training.

Asked about the 18-year-old’s display, Ten Hag said: “I think it was a good performance from him. He did what I expected him to do. First, he deserved a chance in the last weeks.

“I was not happy with him. But the last few weeks I was happy with him. He’s had a better attitude, more resilience, more determination.
