Erik ten Hag says Alejandro Garnacho was “not good enough” in his previous starts this season after the Manchester United teenager scored in the Carabao Cup victory against Crystal Palace. Having secured a much-needed Premier League victory at Burnley on Saturday evening, the Red Devils ran out comfortable 3-0 victors against Roy Hodgson’s south Londoners on Tuesday night. Casemiro scored and then crossed for Anthony Martial’s goal on a night started by Garnacho impressively putting the Carabao Cup holders ahead from Diogo Dalot’s cutback. The 19-year-old began United’s first two matches of the season, but this was the first time he was named in the starting line-up since the defeat to Tottenham five weeks ago. “You have seen at the start of the season we played him and then his contribution was not good enough,” manager Ten Hag said of the Argentina international. “But he also had some good actions. You see always he is a threat in the game even when he is not playing that well. “He has to learn when he does his job in defending he will always have his moment and he will always be decisive because he has great qualities. “As well, it’s not only off the ball. But I want to see like today, he is entering the box in the right spot to finish. “But I think it is quite normal for a player of his age that there is space for a lot of improvement. “Everyone likes him, the fans like him, the team likes him, I like him but we also have to demand from him and push him because he can act on a very high level but he has to show it every day.” United made seven alterations, as did Palace, ahead of Saturday’s Premier League reunion at Old Trafford. Ten Hag will hope Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay can return from what the United boss called illness, so too left-back Sergio Reguilon. The on-loan Tottenham full-back’s absence meant Sofyan Amrabat filled in there on his first start for the club, before stepping into midfield at half-time. “Sofyan is a player, and that was one of the reasons we signed him, where the team needs him, he will play and he can play in more positions,” Ten Hag said. “Every player has his best position but he gives a certain dynamic in the game. We have seen today but also for him and many players, we just started. “That process was a little bit interrupted by the many injuries we have because when you can play a long time with the same team then you get routines, the players learn each other and it’s more automatic. “You see Mason (Mount), Amrabat, you see also others, they can contribute to our game and they will do.” As for Palace, Roy Hodgson had no arguments with the result as his side made a meek Carabao Cup exit in the third round. “I thought we were well beaten, basically,” said the Eagles boss, who saw Dean Henderson go off injured on his debut at former club United. “I thought they attacked better than we did, defended the few attacks we were able to mount quite comfortably. “As a result, unfortunately, you tend when that happens to only be looking at one possible result and that was the result they came up with.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live ‘There is no magic wand’ says Wolves boss after Carabao Cup exit at Ipswich ‘We gifted them two goals’ says Millie Bright after England lose to Netherlands Manchester City hit by travel headache ahead of hectic fortnight

Distance runner Faith Kipyegon was given $35,000 and a house by Kenyan President William Ruto on Tuesday as a reward for breaking two world records in the space of a week. Kipyegon, who met with Ruto at the president's office, said she would now fulfill a promise she had made to buy her father a new car. The 29-year-old Kipyegon, a two-time Olympic champion in the 1,500 meters, set a new 1,500 world record in Florence, Italy on June 2 when she broke the eight-year-old mark set by Genzebe Dibaba of Ethiopia. Kipyegon became the first woman to go under 3 minutes, 50 seconds with her 3:49.11. She broke the 5,000 meters record last Friday at the Paris Diamond League meet by clocking 14:05.20, winning that race ahead of former world record-holder Letesenbet Gidey of Ethiopia. “Faith has made Kenya incredibly proud,” Ruto said. “She stands as a shining model of consistency, discipline, hard work, as well as family. Faith is a great Kenyan woman — a mother, a wife and a world champion rolled into one.” Ruto pledged that the Kenyan government will also give similar rewards to future world-record breakers. ___ More AP sports: https://apnews.com/hub/sports and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Read More Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide
