Alejandro Garnacho became the latest Manchester United academy graduate to start a Premier League game for the Red Devils when he started the 3-1 defeat against Aston Villa in November.
Erik ten Hag has been renowned for bringing through young talent, having had so much success at Ajax with youth including Frenkie de Jong, Antony and Donny van de Beek. The trio have gone on to be sold for huge transfer fees to Barcelona and United respectively as Ten Hag developed a fairly young side at the Dutch club.
The Red Devils also have a history of having such a successful academy, with Paul Scholes, Gary Neville and Marcus Rashford amongst the best to come out of Carrington since the start of the Premier League era. But there are now a new set of stars that can come through and save Ten Hag millions, such as Garnacho and many others.
