Erik ten Hag's relationship with Alejandro Garnacho has seen its fair share of trials and tribulations since the Dutchman's arrival at Manchester United.

Ten Hag was reportedly unhappy with Garnacho back in 2022 for his tendency to leave training sessions with his laces untied, according to The Athletic. His actions were considered 'too lax' and have since been corrected. "Every club at the top needs players with the X-factor," he said last month. "Garnacho has it in him to become that player. We’ve already seen on occasions that he has shown the X-factor, so if you want to be that player that people are saying is world-class, then you have to do it consistently. He has that skill."
"They all have their own identity but for Garnacho to go that way he has a lot to come, he has to work very hard. You have to do it on a consistent basis and so far he has not.
