Erik ten Hag explains why Alejandro Garnacho starts for Manchester United vs FC Sheriff

Erik ten Hag has explained why he's given Alejandro Garnacho the chance to make his full Manchester United debut.

United welcome FC Sheriff to Old Trafford in the Europa League group stage on Thursday night. Ten Hag has reiterated that United must win their group and that meant he was expected to pick a strong side to play Sheriff, which has been the case.

Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez start at centre-back, with Diogo Dalot and Tyrell Malacia at full-back, while Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes start again in midfield, retaining their positions after United's draw at Stamford Bridge.
