Garnacho opened the scoring for the Red Devils while Casemiro and Anthony Martial bagged the other goals in a dominant victory.<\/p>\n
But despite Garnacho registering his first goal of the campaign, Ten Hag wants even more from the player, after admitting that his contributions were \u2018not good enough\u2019 earlier this season.<\/p>\n
\u2018You have seen, at the start of the season we played them. His contribution was not good enough,\u2019 Ten Hag said in his post-match press conference.<\/p>\n
\u2018He had some good actions. You see he is always a threat in a game, even when he is not playing well. <\/p>\n
\u2018He has to learn when he does his job and he is defending, he will always have his moment and he will always be decisive, because he has great qualities.<\/p>\n
\u2018It is not only off the ball. I want to see him entering the box and finishing. I think it is quite normal for a player of this age to have lots of space for improvement, but I like him.<\/p>\n
\u2018But we have to demand him and push him. He can get to a very high level, but he needs to show it every day.\u2019<\/p>\n
Garnacho came through United\u2019s academy and the 19-year-old Argentina international broke into the first team under Ten Hag last term.<\/p>\n
United, meanwhile, return to action on Saturday when they host Palace again, this time in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
