Sir Alex Ferguson thinks Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo are the heart and soul of Man Utd after bursting onto the scene in recent years.
Garnacho started to make a name for himself at Old Trafford in the 2022/23 season with the Argentina international increasingly being used off the bench by Erik ten Hag, making 19 Premier League appearances, including five starts.

Mainoo had a breakthrough season this term with the England international who played a key role for Gareth Southgate at Euro 2024 making 24 starts for as they finished eighth in the Premier League, while he and Garnacho scored a goal each .
Both Mainoo and Garnacho have been widely praised and now legendary Man Utd manager Ferguson has been singing their praises.
When asked about the impact the young duo have had, : It’s the foundation isn’t it?
It’s the heart and soul of what Manchester United has been since the days of Sir Matt Busby, who started the whole process of trusting young players playing.
They’re young. What they’re showing at the moment, the composure and confidence to play in the first-team, and not be daunted by it.
In a way, it shows you the kind of courage they have. It’s a distinction in human beings, some have the will to be that [fearless at a young age].
