Former Manchester United winger Lee Sharpe believes Manchester United must build a future around their three young stars, Rasmus Hojlund, Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho.
The trio have been one of the big successes of United's season so far, with Hojlund on the scoresheet again in the club's 2-1 win over Aston Villa on Sunday. The Dane has now scored in five consecutive games for the club, while Mainoo and Garnacho have become key players in Erik ten Hag's side.
Talking to instantcasino.com, Sharpe says the three players are carrying the team right now and should be the players look to build a team around.
“If Rasmus Hojlund, Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho stay fit and Man United look after them – keep a couple of experienced players and sign some superstars to go alongside them – I don’t see why the club in the future can’t be built around them,” he said.
“They’re already producing man of the match performances week in, week out at such a young age – they’re taking all the accolades at the moment between the three of them.
“I know it’s just a short period of time and we don’t want to get too overexcited and too carried away, but these three aren’t just carrying the team at the moment – they’re carrying the club! It shows that Erik ten Hag is comfortable with putting young players into the starting XI, which is what the club has always been about. The future certainly looks bright with those three at the club.”
