Owen Hargreaves urges Erik ten Hag to make Man Utd tactical switch - "he will be perfect"

Owen Hargreaves has urged Erik ten Hag to start Alejandro Garnacho in the second leg of Manchester United's Europa League tie against Barcelona.

Garnacho, 18, came off the bench during the first leg of the play-off clash at the Camp Nou on Thursday, which ended in a 2-2 draw. The two European heavyweights will meet again at Old Trafford next Thursday, with a place in the last 16 at stake.

Ex-United midfielder Hargreaves believes Barcelona were vulnerable in the transitions and has backed Garnacho to take advantage of that at Old Trafford. The teenager is enjoying a breakthrough season with United - scoring three goals and providing five assists.
