Garnacho is delighted to have penned a new deal with United, as he reflected on it and said: “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.

“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.”

Garnacho has been an impressive impact player under Ten Hag, producing some brilliant performances this season. That includes an assist for Marcus Rashford’s winner over Manchester City at Old Trafford and a winner in the 2-1 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage. He’s scored five goals and provided six assists in 32 appearances this season and it was said that he made United look ‘dangerous’ whenever he was on the pitch.
