Erik ten Hag indicated Alejandro Garnacho will play a part in Manchester United's home game against Wolves after he was unused at West Ham.

Garnacho returned to the United squad for the first time in seven weeks and, despite his game-changing prowess off the bench, Ten Hag turned to five other substitutes in an attempt to salvage the game.

Anthony Martial was introduced for Wout Weghorst before the hour before Jadon Sancho and Marcel Sabitzer emerged simultaneously.

Fred and Diogo Dalot were United's last batch of changes.

"He was on the bench, then, of course, he is capable of playing," Ten Hag said. "But we also had other options with Martial, with Jadon Sancho, with Sabitzer, offensive and fit - very fit - players are there and present, then you have to play them. "But in one week, you have to see, it's one week extra and he is brave, he can make a difference, yeah. "You have seen we tried to change them but that's always difficult when you are losing.
