Man United ace Alejandro Garnacho can use trait Erik ten Hag loves to claim Premier League start

More than a month has passed since Manchester United's 2-1 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage. Alejandro Garnacho calmly slotted the ball past past Bernd Leno to claim all three points for Erik ten Hag's side, as he became the youngest player to score an injury-time winner in the league since Federico Macheda in 2009.

The World Cup has been and gone, yet Ten Hag will have had the image of Garnacho's winner at the forefront of his mind throughout the enforced winter break. A Carabao Cup fourth-round tie against Burnley looks set to present the Argentine with yet another chance to impress.

The right-footed winger has scored both of his senior goals for United with his left-foot, something that will sit very well with his manager. Ten Hag held wrong-footed training sessions earlier in the campaign in a bid to reduce some of his squad's dependency on only using one-foot.
