Ten Hag not surprised by duo's impact

United manager also reveals there's more to come from Reds conveyor belt

ERIK ten Hag insists he has not been surprised by the success of Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho in the United first-team, and he believes there are even more talented youngsters at the club with the potential to follow in their footsteps.

The Reds have spent more than £400m on new players since Ten Hag arrived at the club less than two years ago, yet two of their best performers this season have been a homegrown teenage duo.

Mainoo and Garnacho both still have a lot of work to do if they are to continue their respective upward trajectories, but Ten Hag is already delighted with the progress they have shown.
