United went behind to a contentious Said Benrahma goal, with the ball seeming to have gone out for a throw-in before the Algerian curled home beyond David de Gea.

A Nayef Aguerd own-goal got the Red Devils back on level terms before Garnacho curled home a stunning goal for 2-1. Fred then added gloss to the scoreline at the death.

But Garnacho was the player singled out for most praise on the Twittersphere. Erik ten hag rotated heavily on Wednesday, but Garnacho's name no longer looks like an understudy's on the United teamsheet.

If Marcus Rashford is United's deadliest player this season, Garnacho looks to be the most promising, and he already looks capable of delivering a cutting edge more consistently than fellow wide men Antony and Jadon Sancho.

Ten Hag has been building a team in his image this season, jettisoning Cristiano Ronaldo and winning the League Cup on Sunday, and Garnacho is at the forefront of the next generation at Old Trafford.

The fans are excited:
