Manchester United fans in delight as star boy sets to sign new bumper deal  

Manchester United fans will definitely be in cloud nine following the report that star boy Alejandro Garnacho is set to sign a new deal at the club that will see his salary increase tenfold.

National Daily understands that the 18-year-old has made a stunning breakthrough at Old Trafford and the Argentine who scored twice and provided three assists in four appearances, including an injury time winner against Fulham last week was awarded the club’s player of the month for November.

Garnacho’s exquisite form with two goals and three assists in four appearances has helped him win club’s player of the month for November

The teenager joined the Old Trafford  club from Spanish giants Atletico Madrid in 2020 for a fee of around £600,000.

It is understood that his performances have already alerted Real Madrid and Barcelona, who are keeping a keen eye on his contract situation.

Garnacho is out of contract in 18 months’ time and earns a basic salary of around £5,000-a-week.

However, National Daily can confirm from the report by the Sun that he’s set to sign a new deal worth £50,000-a-week to deter suitors from Spain.

Erik ten Hag has slowly embedded the winger into his first team squad and he’s been denied a spot in the dressing room in a bid to keep the teenager’s feet on the ground.

The Dutchman was unhappy with Garnacho’s attitude on the pre-season tour and kept him back from the squad in the early months of the season as a consequence.

United are aware of the level of talent that Garnacho possesses and do not want to give him too much, too early at the Theatre of Dreams.

However, the Red Devils hand seemed to have been forced considering Garnacho’s situation with a new and improved deal appearing inevitable.
