Alejandro Garnacho has signed a new contract at Manchester United, keeping the academy graduate at Old Trafford until 2028.

The 18-year-old burst onto the scene this season making 29 appearances for the Red Devils across all competitions, scoring five times.

The Argentine had been subject of interest from Real Madrid but snubbed a move back to the city of his birth to continue his Old Trafford adventure.

“When I joined this incredible club, I dreamt of achieving my debut, playing at Old Trafford, scoring my first goal and winning trophies with this badge on my chest,” Garnacho said.

“I feel very proud and emotional to have experienced these moments already, together with my family who have supported me every step of the way.

“We are all humbled to have this chance to continue our journey at Manchester United and I have already begun to work on achieving the next set of targets and ambitions.

“The manager and his coaching staff have helped me to improve in every way, and with their support, I am developing each day to help the team to be successful.

“I am relishing the future and can’t wait to create more special memories with this group, in front of our amazing supporters.”
