Erik ten Hag tells Garnacho and Pellistri how to earn Manchester United opportunities

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has urged youngsters Alejandro Garnacho and Facundo Pellistri to keep showing him that they deserve the chance to feature for the Reds.

Both players came off the bench in the Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg victory over Nottingham Forest in midweek, and the South American duo will be desperate to feature against Reading in the FA Cup on Saturday. Garnacho has made 18 appearances for United so far this season, registering two goals and five assists.

Pellistri, meanwhile, has featured on just two occasions, with both of his appearances coming in the League Cup. He made his competitive debut for the club in the win over Charlton Athletic earlier this month, having also impressed for Uruguay at the World Cup in Qatar.
