Manchester United are now very confident of nearing an agreement over a new long-term contract for Alejandro Garnacho, confirms Fabrizio Romano. The young Argentine winger’s current deal is going to expire in June and the Red Devils don’t want to lose him after his heroics under Erik ten Hag.

United Feel Garnacho New Contract Is Close Amid Exit Links
Garnacho has been enjoying a prolific debut season with the Manchester side after being fast-tracked into the senior team by the new manager. He played an important role to help his side defeat Manchester City at the weekend, coming off the bench and providing a brilliant assist for Marcus Rashford’s winner.
Romano adds that the Red Devils are continuing to hold discussions with the Argentine’s representatives in a bid to finalise a new deal. They feel that a full agreement over a deal is coming soon, amid fears from fans that he could leave the club for free after his contract expires in the summer.

Despite links to clubs like Real Madrid and Juventus, Romano states that neither club have contacted Alejandro Garnacho over the possibility of leaving Old Trafford and joining them as a free agent after this season is over.
Garnacho Among the Lowest-Paid Players in United Senior Team
Despite getting promoted to the senior team this season, the 18-year-old is still earning wages which a youth-level player does at the Manchester Side. It has been reported that he’s been getting a meagre £5,000-a-week wage, which makes him among the lowest-paid players in the senior squad.
The Red Devils will give him a significant increase in wages in his new contract after realising how important he has become for Erik ten Hag’s side – especially after the unexpected departure of Cristiano Ronaldo leaving the club short of forward options.

Garnacho has been enjoying a really good campaign with United, scoring two goals and providing five assists in 15 appearances. He has been praised by manager Ten Hag, who claims that the Argentine winger has the skill that ‘doesn’t see in many players in the Premier League’.
