Erik ten Hag addresses the Garnacho family
Via Manchester United – here is what Erik ten Hag said to Garnacho and his family;
“I met your family, the most important people in your life,” says the boss. “It’s a big, big moment, so I [will say] some words.
“He is improving and he has improved a lot. That is why we are now here and he deserves this, a new contract. It is deserved by his performance and he has fought his way into the team.
“So, it was a huge step and he did it magnificently. Now, I hope and I think this new contract is an inspiration and a motivation to do even better. Because it is a big step and today you deserve it.
“We have to do some celebrations and you have to do some celebrations with your family, they are the ones who are in your heart.
“This club needs players who can do incredible things. It is not only about ‘we want to win’. Also, we want to win in a certain way. But winning is the most important and then we want to win in a certain way because we are playing in the Theatre of Dreams.
“And then this club has to win trophies and you want to win trophies, because in the end a contract is great but in the end of a career you want to collect trophies. You want to look back and say ‘I won the Premier League, I won the Champions League, I was at the World Cup’.
“I think he has the talent to do it but talent has to work because talent that does not work will not go far. This is the start, a new start, a signed contract, and tomorrow new roles, new aims and go.”
