Garnacho will feel that the left-wing slot is up for grabs at Manchester United because of the inconsistent performances of players like Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho. It will be interesting to see if the 18-year-old prodigy can convince ten Hag with his performances in the coming months now.
With his long-term future sorted at Old Trafford, their player will now be expected to focus on his football and continue his development. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has a proven track record of improving talented young players. And he could help the 18-year-old fulfil his world-class potential at Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, Garnacho has been linked with European heavyweights like Real Madrid and Juventus in recent months. And this decision to commit his long-term future to Manchester United will come as a major blow for the two giants. Real Madrid were hoping to add more depth to their attack, and Garnacho would have been a superb long-term addition.
Manchester United have spent big money on signings like Antony and Sancho in recent windows. However, the 18-year-old prodigy has managed to outperform both players. He will hope to establish himself as an indispensable asset for Manchester United in the coming months now.
