Ten Hag sees value in United's Academy

In an exclusive interview with club media, to be released on Sunday morning, the boss was asked about this weekend extending the run of containing at least one homegrown player in a matchday squad to 85 years, providing there is a place for the likes of Marcus Rashford, Scott McTominay, Anthony Elanga, Alejandro Garnacho, Tom Heaton and so on.

With the Reds taking on another club with a respected youth programme in West Ham United, there is likely to be continued focus on this area, following Garnacho's impressive first start, against Sheriff Tiraspol, and the fact he is a member of the side that won last season's FA Youth Cup.
