Erik ten Hag sent Manchester United message as returning star threatens to cast big shadow

Alejandro Garancho can show Erik ten Hag how much he can rely on him for next season in the final weeks of Manchester United's season.

The Argentine forward returned from injury, fresh from signing a new five contract, to score the match-clinching goal against Wolves on Saturday.

It was an assured finish from the 18-year-old, who was back on the pitch for the first time since March. United's injury problems have been well documented; particularly their issues in central defence.

Garanacho's absence has not been in the spotlight given Ten Hag's options out wide. It is perhaps the strongest, or certainly deepest, area of the United squad - Antony and Marcus Rashford hold the starting positions right now with Jadon Sancho and Garnacho in reserve.
