What's the latest on Garnacho's return?
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is confident Alejandro Garnacho will have a role to play before the end of the season.
The Academy graduate made his senior debut in the 2021/22 campaign and has firmly established himself in the squad this term, scoring four goals along the way.
Unfortunately, Garnacho suffered a serious injury during our draw with Southampton on 12 March and the teenager has missed all of our fixtures since.
During a press conference to preview our next Premier League match against Everton on Saturday afternoon, Ten Hag was asked to provide an update on when the youngster might return.

While the manager is reluctant to put a date on it, he is feeling optimistic – which is clearly great news for our supporters with so many games still to come.
“We have something in our heads, but I don't want - he will definitely be back before the end of the season,” said the boss at Carrington.
“I think he will be in the final stages, but I don't want to bring so much pressure on the medical and Garnacho to set a date when to be back.”

‘BACK STRONGER’
After suffering his injury in early March, Garna posted this message on Instagram: “It is difficult to put into words how I'm feeling right now,” he said.
“Unfortunately, I will not be able to help my team and team-mates in the upcoming games, in what is a very important part of the season for us at Manchester United.
