Erik ten Hag described Kobbie Mainoo as 'on his way' to Manchester United's first team at a press conference last month.
The manager touted Mainoo and Garnacho as the brightest prospects from the academy, two players who'd been key in the club's successful FA Youth Cup campaign in 2021/22 and he reiterated the importance of youth development.
"Ajax was the same as Man United in developing young players, giving young players opportunities to work on their personality if they feel that they are good people and they have a good life and they can contribute in society," he said.
