Alejandro Garnacho, a winger for Manchester United, is said to be dreaming of a transfer to Real Madrid after an outstanding debut season as a regular starter. Garnacho’s rapid rise at Old Trafford has brought with it a terrifying scenario that United had experienced with Cristiano Ronaldo fifteen years prior.
In October 2020, at the age of sixteen, the Red Devils signed him, attracting him from Atletico Madrid for a meager £100,000 in compensation.
The fact that academy director Nick Cox had to deal with the difficulties of the COVID-19 pandemic and finalized the agreement through a video conversation in his spare bedroom made the arrangement all the more remarkable.
Garnacho made an immediate impression in United’s youth divisions, playing a major role in the team’s FA Youth Cup victory in 2022 before establishing himself as a mainstay in the first squad later that year.
He made his Premier League debut in April 2022 against Chelsea. In his fifth game, he scored his first goal as a senior—a stoppage-time winner against Fulham.
At the age of 19, Garnacho has established himself as a key player in Erik ten Hag’s plans after starting the FA Cup victory over Liverpool on Sunday for the 25th time in a row.
He was already an Argentina international when he stunned everyone with his stamina in a 120-minute feat of athleticism and set up Amad Diallo’s amazing game-winning goal with seconds remaining.
However, if another La Liga powerhouse makes an offer, the Red Devils might find it difficult to hold on to one of their most valuable assets.
The recognition that Garnacho, a youngster from Madrid, will want to return at some point in his career has coincided with his ascent.
Additionally, TyC Sports reports that United No. 17 hopes to sign with Real Madrid in the future because of rumors that Florentino Perez is interested.
