Erik ten Hag says Alejandro Garnacho's next challenge at Manchester United is to secure a place in the starting XI.
Garnacho came on in the 81st minute for his first appearance in 55 days to score the clincher in United's 2-0 win over Wolves.
The 18-year-old sustained an ankle injury in the goalless draw with Southampton on March 19 but Garnacho has since signed a new five-year contract.

Garnacho has now scored five goals in his breakthrough season at United, having only made his debut on April 28 last year.
"Garna, we see it, the view, because he scored a great goal," Ten Hag said of Garnacho's impact. "He came on and he scored a goal. He did almost everything good and that will give him belief and that is good for the rest of the season. He is back, it will give him confidence and he can have an impact.
"One of the aspects for the biggest talent is that they are mature. First, they take responsibility and second, they are mature. To bring in the skills, they have belief that they can dominate opponents. And once again he did it.
"He had a big impact in many games either when he's starting or coming on. He's ready, straight into the game and that is so important for the squad that you can bring young players and I'm happy you can bring young players. Hopefully, he can progress so quickly he can compete for a starting XI position because that is his next challenge.
"He is showing when you score some winners - Fulham - the assist against City and now the second goal, he is showing some things. Also sometimes he lacks defensive transition and pressing. He has to step up, when you are going into an action or keep the ball, so decisions. But when you see all over he is a huge talent and he is brave.
"Decisions, making decisions, scanning situations, when to go into one-on-ones, get behind, when to go for goal, when to give the extra pass or when to give the assist rather than to go for own success. Decisions like that make a good player a top player, that is the difference.
"It shows that you can go that way and that pathway is open for young players in United. If you work in the right way, when you work hard, we can guide you to go get into the team.
"But in the end it is about the player. He has to invest and have a plan to do it."
