Manchester United are confident of agreeing a new long-term contract with Alejandro Garnacho, sources have told ESPN.
Garnacho has a deal until 2024 with the option of another 12 months but a new agreement is being negotiated to reflect the 18-year-old’s rapid development since making his first team debut in April.

His wage has increased incrementally since his arrival from Atletico Madrid in 2020 but United believe his status as a regular within Erik ten Hag’s senior squad warrants fresh terms.
Negotiations have been ongoing since the summer but sources have told ESPN that a new round of talks are scheduled. There is interest in Garnacho from Real Madrid but United are convinced the forward is keen to stay at Old Trafford after breaking into Ten Hag’s team.
He has made 15 appearances this season, scoring two goals, and was named in Argentina‘s provisional squad ahead of the World Cup.
