Patrice Evra says Alejandro Garnacho status at Manchester United proves team is 'not ready'

Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra claims Erik ten Hag's usage of Alejandro Garnacho this season shows that the team is 'not ready' to compete at the top level.

Garnacho started in United 's 2-0 win against Burnley in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night. Ten Hag handed the 18-year-old a spot in his starting XI for the fourth time this season and he lasted an hour before being replaced.

Although the teenager failed to replicate his heroics against Fulham as he was replaced by Antony on the hour mark, goals from Christian Eriksen and a superb solo strike from Marcus Rashford ensured that the Argentine did not need to bail his side out as he did at Craven Cottage last month.
