Alejandro Garnacho has become the first Manchester United player to react to the club's decision to retain Erik ten Hag as the manager.

Ten Hag went on to lead the club to one of their worst finishes in the Premier League by sealing an eighth-place spot in the standings with just 60 points.

Whereas he helped the club end the season on a high after they lifted the FA Cup, United chiefs were said to be keen to replace him at the end of the season.

However, that won't be the case, with Sky Sports reporting that the club's hierarchy has resolved to keep the 54-year-old beyond the summer.
