Alejandro Garnacho’s brother is delighted that Erik ten Hag is due to stay on as Manchester United manager, saying the club can ‘write history’ with the Dutchman in charge.
After a period of uncertainty, it has been reported that the Manchester United hierarchy have decided to keep Ten Hag on as manager for the forthcoming season.
There is only one year left on his contract at Old Trafford, but discussions are taking place over an extension of his deal.
This comes after the Red Devils’ worst ever Premier League campaign, which saw them finish eighth in the top flight, while they also finished bottom of their Champions League group which included Galatasaray and FC Copenhagen.
Manchester United’s season did end brightly, by beating Manchester City in the FA Cup final, but the campaign up till then had Ten Hag’s bosses considering his future.
Other candidates were considered, but the former Ajax boss is being given further time at the helm after two seasons in charge.
Roberto Garnacho is thrilled about it, responding to the news on social media by writing: ‘TEN HAG I LOVE YOU. My boss, our boss, we are here to write a history.’

Responding to comments on the news that Ten Hag will remain in charge, Roberto added: ‘I didn’t think this would make me this happy, all the news saying he was out, just for clicks, we stick together.’
He added, in a dig at rivals Chelsea: ‘And what is better, to change managers every year as Chelsea does and keep being shit and play conference league? Cmon bro, it’s better to build something.’

Alejandro Garnacho has been a big player for the Red Devils under Ten Hag, making 36 Premier League appearances last season, 30 of which came in the starting XI.
The 19-year-old scored seven goals in the top flight and three more in other competitions, including netting the opener in the FA Cup final.
