Manchester United are ready to reward teenage sensation Alejandro Garnacho with an extraordinary new contract.
After the Argentine dazzled at Old Trafford last night, it appears the club are already planning to link Garnacho to a long-term deal.
And as Fabrizio Romano revealed on Twitter today, the Reds have been preparing a contract extension for the 18-year-old for some time.
Work in progress to extend Alejandro Garnacho’s contract, negotiations have been ongoing for a month. ???????????? #MUFC

United boss Erik ten Hag finally gave the young attacker his first start last night, when the Reds met Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League.
Despite being called up to the Argentina national team, Garnacho had been limited to just 5 substitute appearances thus far for United.
But the Dutchman decided to give him a real baptism of fire in yesterday’s Group E match against a packed Old Trafford.
And the exciting South American certainly did not disappoint his coach or the fans, with a sensational all-round debut that saw him play as man of the match.
Garnacho played alongside his hero, Cristiano Ronaldo, and with his direct play, coupled with skill and breakneck pace, the former Atletico Madrid youth player was not at all fazed by the occasion.
So it comes as no surprise that the club are ready to offer the youngster a massive new five-year deal to ensure his brilliant talent isn’t fooled.
According to Romano, the club have been working on a deal, with talks ongoing for a month.
And the speedy wide man has also been building for a long time to this point, gaining plaudits and attention since he arrived at the club 2 years ago.
Fans have witnessed some sensational displays from the United youth team, culminating in a wonderful performance in last season’s FA Youth Cup final, scoring twice as he helped his team to success.
The club sees Garnacho, as well as some of his youth teammates, as a big part of the club’s future, and Ten Hag will surely have no choice but to give the emerging Argentine more chances to prove himself on the biggest stage.
