Antony absence could hand Alejandro Garnacho chance to accept Erik ten Hag 'challenge' for Manchester United

It was another brief appearance off the bench for Alejandro Garnacho on Thursday and another in which the 18-year-old didn't need long to get the Old Trafford crowd on their feet.

For the partly injured, completely fatigued and 33-year-old Cesar Azpilicueta it must have felt like a nightmare to see Garnacho stripped off and ready to go.

And it took the Manchester United man a matter of minutes to fly past a defender 15 years his senior, getting on the end of Jadon Sancho's cross but seeing his effort saved by Kepa Arrizabalaga.

It was only a brief moment but one that typified Garnacho's impact this season. His pace and directness is hard to manage on fresh legs, but after more than an hour of trying to manage Marcus Rashford it can resemble hell.
