Arsenal are eyeing Alejandro Garnacho with a number of clubs keeping close tabs on his contract situation at Manchester United.
For all the drama surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo and his attempts to make sure the attention is always on him, United aren’t letting him ruin Sunday’s win over Fulham.
It looked like United were heading for a 1-1 draw as Daniel James cancelled out Christian Eriksen’s opener.
However, winger Garnacho conjured up a magic moment as he blazed past the Fulham defence to slot home a last-gasp winner for United.
Arsenal are eyeing Alejandro Garnacho
Garnacho is starting to make a real impact at United.
The Argentinian winger joined the Red Devils from Atletico Madrid in 2020 and is now emerging into the first team.
Garnacho scored against Real Sociedad in the Europa League before starting his first Premier League game against Aston Villa.
Garnacho then came on against Villa in the Carabao Cup and recorded two assists in just 28 minutes on the pitch.
The 18-year-old then bagged the dramatic winner against Fulham just days later and he has bene earning huge praise.
Harry Maguire has taken to Instagram to call Garnacho a ‘special talent’ but United are now facing interest already.
90Min claim that Arsenal and Chelsea are both keeping tabs on Garnacho ahead of a possible move.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain are also thought to be interested.
Garnacho is under contract until 2025 but United want to make sure that he has a bumper new deal to prevent his head from being turned.
A move to Arsenal feels unlikely anyway; if United were to sell Garnacho, it would surely be to a European club rather than a Premier League rival.
Young players will be attracted to Arsenal due to Mikel Arteta’s ability to develop prospects but Garnacho to North London sounds like a pipe dream rather than a realistic move.
