Manchester United fans may not be happy to see their team being inconsistent in the league and during the season, but they are happy to see a couple of players doing well this season. Alejandro Garnacho made a great impression last season, and this season, he has become more reliable for Erik Ten Hag. Garnacho continues to play many games for Man United under Ten Hag this season.

Garnacho has received lots of praise from the Man United fans and Ten Hag himself, but recently, the Dutch manager spoke highly about another youngster who is having a great breakout season. The player everyone is very happy with is Kobbie Mainoo, who has been immense in the midfield.

Ten Hag did not want to compare to the legend of the game like Clarence Seedorf, but he is currently being compared to players like him because of how good he is at just 18. Ten Hag said, "I think never ever compare players with another player. Never. Because Kobbie Mainoo, but also other players, they build their own identity. Don't compare with anyone. His skillset, that is so typical. And it's so Kobbie Mainoo, it's nothing to do with other players. Of course, he can learn from other players, especially from great players as Clarence Seedorf was. But Kobbie Mainoo is Kobbie Mainoo. He has big potential and I'm quite sure he will have a big career."
