According to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13442961/MAN-UNITED-CONFIDENTIAL-65m-Premier-League-Alejandro-Garnacho-Erik-ten-Hag.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail, </a>the 19-year-old may look for a hike in wages and a fresh contract if he dazzles on the continental stage with Argentina in the upcoming Copa America. His current contract, signed in April 2023, ties him to United until June 2028 - but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/erik-ten-hag-kobbie-mainoo-alejandro-garnacho-man-utd-playing-philosophy/blt7e8b1c36ed526e6c" target="_blank">given his impact on the pitch</a> with the Red Devils he might demand more financial benefits from the next season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Garnacho boasts of having made 49 appearances this season, the joint-most by an outfield player at United with only Diogo Dalot matching that figure and Bruno Fernandes one behind on 48. The Argentine is also on an impressive run of 37 consecutive starts, highlighting his reliability and importance to the squad. His consistent performances have made him indispensable to the team, and if he can replicate this form for Argentina at Copa America, it’s expected that his representatives will urge the team management to thrash out a fresh contract with improved weekly wages.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Recent reports have suggested that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-next-season-sir-jim-ratcliffe-erik-ten-hag-could-be-sold/bltc77822f8025cf0d8#csc52476ae3a87d33b" target="_blank">Garnacho, along with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Hojlund, </a>are the only three players who are guaranteed their places in the team in the 2024-25 season. This demonstrates the club's unwavering confidence in his abilities even as they prepare for a summer clear-out.

DID YOU KNOW?

Garnacho's journey from a promising academy product to a key first-team player epitomises his upward growth trajectory. And success with Argentina would further elevate his status as an elite winger in world football. However, before flying to the United States for the Copa America, Garnacho would be eager to secure a Europa League berth for next season by helping United beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final on May 25.
