Erik ten Hag urged Alejandro Garnacho to "keep his feet on the ground" after the teenager's stoppage-time winner earned Manchester United a dramatic 2-1 victory at Fulham.In the final match before the Premier League breaks for the World Cup, the spoils were set to be shared at Craven Cottage until United substitute Garnacho's late intervention.Christian Eriksen's first goal for United had put the visitors ahead after 14 minutes, but Fulham deservedly drew level just after the hour through former Red Devils winger Daniel James.However, despite Fulham being the better team for large parts of the game, Ten Hag's men claimed the points when Garnacho linked up well with Eriksen before firing past Bernd Leno just before the final whistle.The 18-year-old earned his manager's praise for his impact after replacing Anthony Martial in the 72nd minute, but Ten Hag also had words of caution for the Madrid-born forward, whose goal was his first in the Premier League."It's a massive win this, Alejandro Garnacho had a big impact on the win.
