Erik ten Hag explains why Alejandro Garnacho starts for Manchester United vs Fulham
28.05.2023 - 15:41 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Erik ten Hag has started Alejandro Garnacho in Manchester United's match against Fulham because 'he deserves it'.
Garnacho, 18, has established himself in the first-team this season and he recently signed a new long-term contract. The youngster has impressed Ten Hag and he's been given just his fifth start in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
He's set to start on the left wing and Marcus Rashford, who has reached the 30-goal mark, will lead the attack as the striker.

Meanwhile, Harry Maguire has been demoted to fourth choice in the centre-back pecking order this term and he's made just seven starts in the Premier League, but he's been given a chance to feature on the final day of the campaign.
The 30-year-old will start alongside Victor Lindelof against Fulham and they'll be supported by Diogo Dalot and Tyrell Malacia in the full-back positions, which means Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw are rested ahead of the FA Cup final.
Ten Hag spoke to MUTV ahead of kick-off and said: "We played on Thursday and we want to have fresh players, we want to win this game. We can secure third place and we can match a record of 27 wins, which was done 20 years ago.
"It's only been done one other time in the history of this magnificent club. He deserves to start and now he can show if he deserves it. I've spoken to him and that's the next step for him to be a starting 11 player.
"We know he has a huge impact coming from the bench. We want to see it [from the start] and to be fair, he's already shown this season several times when he's started, he can do a really good job for the team."
