Alejandro Garnacho's ex-Man Utd coach questions decision to throw him into first-team

Former Manchester United coach Neil Wood has questioned Erik ten Hag's decision to throw Alejandro Garnacho into the first-team fold.

The 18-year-old made his United debut back in April in a 1-1 draw against Chelsea, and made a further four substitute appearances before he was handed his first start in the Europa League clash against Sheriff Tiraspol.

Garnacho impressed throughout and looked a thorn in Sheriff's side, with his pace and invention on the left-hand side.

Garnacho's former youth coach, Neil Wood, shares the excitement surrounding the Argentinian - but is worried being fast-tracked into senior football may harm his development.
