Andy Cole expects Alejandro Garnacho to become an all-time great at Manchester United.
The clamour for the 18-year-old to be given a chance in the senior team started at the back end of last season following his exploits in the FA Youth Cup. While Garnacho made his debut before the season’s close, he had to wait until the current campaign to become a household name.

Cole added: “I think the jury is still out on Antony. He cost a hell of a lot of money and we’ve only seen him do well in flashes, but as you know flashes
