Alejandro Garnacho has got the potential to be "anything he wants" at Manchester United. That's according to ex-Manchester City player turned TV pundit Micah Richards.

"A lot of people, when they wear that shirt, they can sink.
"But he almost plays up to the fact he knows he should be at this level. It's a similar thing with Kobbie Mainoo and they just relish the task. That's how I sometimes define if someone's really [got it] as long as they keep their feet on the ground. Just taking on that
