Among the youthful prospects that Erik ten Hag has highlighted as having the potential to lead the charge for silverware in the years to come are Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Hojlund.
At the same time that the club is working hard to ensure that it will be able to participate in the Champions League for the following season, the manager’s goal to develop around youthful talent is becoming more and more apparent.
Old Trafford has witnessed a transformation in the dynamics of the team during the 2023/24 season, with a combination of seasoned players and emerging prospects playing crucial parts in the team’s success.
There have been a number of young players who have been given opportunities throughout the tenure of the Dutchman.
These players have either been recruited from other teams or developed through the club’s own academy.
Ten Hag is not only focused on the immediate future, but also on the long-term potential of United, taking into consideration the fact that the top four of the Premier League is within reach.
During an interview with Sky Sports, Ten Hag underlined his confidence regarding the potential of Mainoo. He also emphasized the tradition at Manchester United of cultivating young players.
He emphasized the significance of establishing a winning attitude in these individuals by highlighting instances from the club’s long and illustrious history.
Players such as Hojlund, Forson, and Diallo are living examples of the club’s dedication to the development of its younger players.
Despite the fact that Antony has been involved in the current Premier League season, he has been subjected to criticism for his performances. Garnacho and Hojlund have both played key parts in the campaign.
Forson, a developing star who is only 19 years old, has earned his spot in Ten Hag’s plans after making his way through the club’s youth divisions.
During this time, Amad has been hampered by injuries, which has prevented him from having the breakthrough season that was anticipated at Old Trafford.
