Erik ten Hag claimed Manchester United's squad is not fractured after revealing Alejandro Garnacho apologised for liking social media posts criticising the manager's handling of the Argentine forward.

Cole Palmer scored twice deep into stoppage time to complete a hat-trick as Chelsea stunned Manchester United 4-3 on Thursday, all but ending their hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League.

Garnacho gave a glimpse of his vast potential with a brilliant overhead kick to inspire United's 3-0 win in Sunday's Premier League clash at Goodison Park.

Born in Spain but with an Argentine mother, the 18-year-old was called up for Argentina's friendly against Australia and did not hesitate at the prospect of playing alongside Lionel Messi with the World Cup champions in Qatar

Manchester United's Argentine winger Alejandro Garnacho must push for a starting spot in the Premier League side after an impressive debut season in which the 18-year-old has scored five goals, manager Erik ten Hag said.

Garnacho has made a meteoric rise at United this season, making 27 appearances for Eric ten Hag's side, including 10 starts, and scoring four goals, the latest of which was the decisive strike in the Red Devils' 3-1 FA Cup last 16 victory over West Ham on Wednesday
