In a recent report, The Sun revealed that Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho is set to be offered a new contract. It is understood that the Red Devils are planning to give the Argentine winger a pay rise so that they can tie him down to a new, long-term deal a Old Trafford.
Garnacho’s Rapid Rise At Manchester
The Argentine sensation has already managed to break out as a first-team starter at the Theatre of Dreams and scored the winning goal in injury time versus Fulham recently.
Garnacho deserves a lot of credit for finding the back of the net twice and earning two assists in ten matches for Man United thus far on all fronts. The 18-year-old has caught the eye with his performances in Europe based on his average of 1.3 shots, 0.5 key passes and 1.0 dribbles per 90 minutes in the UEFA Europa League. He has even been accurate when distributing possession in the opponent’s half, as evidenced by his pass success rate of 87.7% in European football (stats via whoscored).
His current contract at Old Trafford is set to run out at the end of this campaign. Thus, it makes a lot of sense for Man United to try and tie Garnacho down to a lucrative, long-term contract.
Garnacho Set To Be Offered A New Contract By Manchester United: Good Move For Both Parties?
Garnacho is a decent dribbler with the ball and can make a few driving runs with the ball out on the flanks. He has got the pace to leave his marker to bite the dust in the final third and can score a few important goals for his team.
However, the Argentine whizkid is still quite raw and would need time to develop into a top talent at the highest level.
Still, there is no denying that Garnacho has got the potential to become a future star in European football. Therefore, it seems like a good move for both Man United and the youngster to extend their time together in search of more success.
Garnacho could grow into a superstar under a world-class manager like Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford. With all things considered, the Red Devils should try everything they can to tie the Argentine wing wizard down to a new, long-term contract as he is destined to be a regular starter in a few years. Moreover, Garnacho will have a great resale value in the future.
