As well as Arsenal, the likes of Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are apparently e꧟yeing Garnacho too.

The Red Devౠils ace has caught the eye this season, becoming a regular and delivering some dazzling displays.

‘Burst onto the scene’

Goal aside, Garnacho gave his side something extra, thanks to his willingness to run at def▨enders and drive his team forward.

Tim Sherwood and Michael Owen both lauded the Argentina youth internatio꧙nal.

“He’s the nearest 💖thing I’ve seen to Cristiano Ronaldo,” Sherwood t💖old .

Meanwhile, Owen said: “What a finish to the game but what a finish fr💟om that young guy.

“At just 18 years old he’s burst onto the scene…🦂 wow.

“The burst of pace he showed 🧸to get in♏to that position, the directness of play… his grin just sums it all up doesn’t it?”

Admittedly, United won’t want 🅺such a top talent to simply up sticks and join anothe🌠r team.

90Min have quoted sources claimiജng that United are confident they can tie Garnacho down to a new contract.
