Rio Ferdinand believes Alejandro Garnacho could force Erik ten Hag's hand after another scintillating substitute appearance in the 2-1 win against Manchester City on Saturday.
The 18-year-old made his seventh league appearance of the season at Old Trafford, replacing Christian Eriksen in the 72nd minute and driving the Reds to an incredible comeback victory. Within three minutes the Argentine was racing past Kyle Walker and that danger down the left continued until his run and cross set up Marcus Rashford for the eventual winner.
Garnacho's presence undoubtedly changed the dynamic of the final 20 minutes, and another brilliant performance off the bench will inevitably put his name at the forefront of Ten Hag's mind. Competition down the left is rife, with an in-form Rashford currently the first name on the team sheet, but the teenager is knocking on the door for more regular minutes.
