Manchester United coach Eric ten Hag made it clear at the beginning of his tenure that the players would have to earn their stripes, and even young stars would not get a free ride to the team without impressive results in training.
And this is exactly what academy star Alejandro Garnacho had to go through before distinguishing himself in the main squad.
At the beginning of the season, there were rumors about attitude problems, but the Dutchman made sure that the young star got rid of these problems before throwing him to the very bottom.
Garnacho, United’s new star
The Argentine has responded in style, scoring two goals and giving four assists this campaign, and now he is a conscientious member of the first team.
But the 18-year-old’s contract expires in 2024, and United is negotiating a contract with a highly rated young man.
They are eager to conclude a long-term deal with him, given the interest he arouses among elite clubs all over Europe.

Now Fihaes has reported that “Alejandro Garnacho is an unexpected target of Atletico Madrid for their attack.”
This is surprising, because a couple of years ago, the Argentine U-20 national team player was a member of the Atletico academy, but he decided to join United to fulfill his dream.
It definitely came to fruition last year under Ten Hag’s leadership.
Quite a few media outlets have previously linked Real Madrid with the acquisition of the last jewel in United’s crown, and this latest report says that Atletico does not want their City rivals to overtake their former star.

Atletico Madrid wants to prevent one of their homegrown players from joining the team of their greatest rival.”
The report also mentions how difficult it will be for Rohiblanco to steal Garnacho from United, as both sides are close to signing a new long-term contract.
The Peoples Person has already reported that the player is facing a salary increase that is 10 times higher than his current salary.
United fans have already changed the lyrics of Cristiano Ronaldo’s song to adapt it to the Argentine. There are high hopes for him, and the winger is unlikely to leave in the near future.
