The Argentinian winger who made his first team debut for United in April 2019 has this season established himself as an important member of the club’s squad.
Garnacho has so far made 31 appearances for United in all competitions this season, scoring four goals and providing five assists.
He scored his first goal against Real Sociedad in November last year, before adding a dramatic last minute winner against Fulham in the Premier League later that month. He has since also scored against Leeds United and West Ham.
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,” Garnacho said on Friday after signing his new contract.
“I feel very proud and emotional to have experienced these moments already, together with my family who have supported me every step of the way. 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.
The 18-year-old, who joined United from Atletico Madrid in 2020, only had a year left on his original contract, and so in recent months the United hierarchy had made it a priority to get him to commit his future to them.
“Alejandro has really dedicated himself to achieving the objectives that the club set out for him since he arrived in Manchester,” said the United Football Director John Murtough. “His talent, drive and determination to succeed saw him quickly progress from our Academy into the first team, and this new long-term contract reflects our confidence in him to continue his exciting development under the guidance of Erik and his staff.”
