Erik ten Hag reveals what he told Alejandro Garnacho before late Man Utd FA Cup heroics

Erik ten Hag hailed teenage sensation Alejandro Garnacho for the stunning late strike that sent Manchester United into the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Garnacho scored with a sublime curling effort in the 90th minute to put United ahead against West Ham, with substitute Fred sealing the win with a third goal in added time. United, fresh from Sunday's Carabao Cup final triumph, will host Fulham for a place in the semi-finals at Wembley, with Ten Hag full of praise for match-winner Garnacho.

"I saw today another step from him," said Ten Hag. "I told him before the game, 'you have an impact when you come on, but now you need to have impact as a starter'. I think he's capable of it and that's the next step he needs to take."
