When the Red Devils contacted Atletico Madrid to sign Alejandro Garnacho in October 2020, few people could have thought that this young man would quickly enter the first team in just 2 years.
After impressing Erik ten Hag with an excellent performance in the 2022 FA Youth Cup final, just a few days after the Dutch coach was appointed, the 19-year-old player became a regular in the team. one at Old Trafford.
Garnacho has been outstanding this season.
The winger has been a regular starter for Man United this season, and is on his way to developing into one of the most promising players in world football, let alone the Premier League.
The suԀԀen rise to stardom not only turned Garnacho into a valuable asset for the team, it also contributed to significantly increasing the market value of the young Argentine player.
According to the CIES football data tracking and research center, Garnacho’s value is currently worth 81.5 million pounds, increasing rapidly. It is important to know that the Old Trafford team signed Garnacho at the age of 16 from Atletico Madrid for a fee of just over 100 thоusand pounds.
The Athletic said that at that time, the numbers that Man Utd spent showed that Garnacho had a lot of potential and now the young player is meeting those expectations. Notably, Garnacho’s valuation is even higher than Joao Felix (£77.9 million) and Leroy Sane (£69.6 million).
One thing is certain: Man Utd will not consider selling Garnacho anytime soon, despite the young player’s skyrocketing market value. Instead, coach Erik ten Hag sees Garnacho as one of the team’s greatest assets.
Garnacho promises to shine even brighter.
There have been times this season when Garnacho was Man United’s only аttаcking player who worked hard and dared to break through to unlock the opponent’s defense. Clearly, Garnacho outperformed and outshone his other teammates in аttаck.
In particular, the last few months have seen the Argentine become a mainstay in the first team, even knocking Marcus Rashford to the bench. This season, Garnacho scored 5 goals and provided 2 assists after 26 appearances in all competitions.
The past two months have seen the 19-year-old player’s explosive performance. Garnacho scored 4 goals and had 2 assists in the last 10 matches for Man United , proving his impressive form.
Surely fans cannot forget the beautiful finish against Everton and the double that inspired the comeback against Aston Villa. The important thing is that Garnacho needs to keep his feet on the ground and handle more decisively.
Sometimes Garnacho makes bad decisions, which affects Man Utd’s finishing. However, this player is still young and can develop further to improve himself.
