According to the Independent, Real Madrid and Juventus are monitoring Manchester United’s 18-year-old winger, Alejandro Garnacho.
The Argentine has 18 months left on his current contract however the two parities are currently renegotiating a new deal after an impressive breakout campaign.
The player’s representatives are wanting more than the £20,000-a-week offered which is a significant pay increase on his current £7,000-a-week deal. United are taking a measured approach as was the philosophy Sir Alex Ferguson had when dealing with young players.
Garnacho starred off the bench on derby day with Manchester United defeating current Premier League champions Manchester City 2-1 at Old Trafford. Garnacho turned neatly and provided a pin point cross which Marcus Rashford tucked home in the 82nd minute to seal all three points.
The 18-year-old took to twitter following the game: “THIS CITY IS OUR CITY!! @ManUtd… Assistance to one of the best in the world right now @MarcusRashford”. (@agarnacho7)
