Manchester United academy insider warns club about Alejandro Garnacho plan

Former Manchester United Under-23s manager Neil Wood doesn't think Alejandro Garnacho is ready to figure in the first-team on a regular basis.

Class of '92-owned Salford City appointed Wood as their manager in the summer and that signalled the end of the coach's successful stint at Old Trafford, during which he helped 17 academy players make their first-team debuts.

Wood spent three years at United as the head coach of the club's U23s and he played a key role in the development of Anthony Elanga, Shola Shoretire, Dylan Levitt, James Garner and Ethan Laird among others.
