'Very special'- Robin van Persie praises two Manchester United players

Robin van Persie labelled Alejandro Garnacho a 'very talented' player as he moved to praise Manchester United's breakout star of the season.

After inspiring United to long-awaited FA Youth Cup glory last season, Garnacho was been promoted to the first team by Erik ten Hag and the Argentine is living up to his potential. Though still just 18, he has been a constant game-changer off the bench and already has four goals to his name, three of them being winning strikes.
