# Manchester United: Insider insists Garnacho closing in on a new contract

**Reporter Alex Crook has revealed on [TalkSport](https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1628324930340421634?s=20) that Alejandro Garnacho is close to signing a new contract at [Manchester United.](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/)**

### The Lowdown: A stunning breakout season

Manchester United are at the start of their revolution under Erik ten Hag, but some parts have undoubtedly progressed quicker than others as they find themselves in a title race and a Carabao Cup final.

Certain players have also taken major steps forward in their careers, with Marcus Rashford now [one of the most in-form players](https://www.90min.com/posts/marcus-rashford-pre-world-cup-form-and-post-world-cup-form-compared) across Europe and youngster Garnacho has proven himself more than capable of performing at this level.

The young winger is still on a basic contract given his age, and that prior to this season, [he’d made just two first-team appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alejandro-garnacho/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/811779). But now with [eight goal involvements](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alejandro-garnacho/leistungsdaten/spieler/811779) this season to his name, he looks set to be rewarded with a bumper deal.

### The Latest: Garnacho set for a new contract

According to Crook, everything is edging closer to the Argentinian penning a new deal at Old Trafford which would likely see his wages take a significant boost.

He said: “Another player close to agreeing a new deal, I’m told, at Man United is young Alejandro Garnacho. That will be a long-term contract as well, and I was told yesterday progress is being made on that, so it might not be too long until we get an announcement that he’s committed his future to Manchester United.”

### The Verdict: Smart move from everyone involved

It makes sense for Man United and Garnacho to get a new deal thrashed out as soon as possible as if he keeps performing at his current level this season, more clubs could start to take a keen interest in the winger, though talk of a new and improved deal would surely also give the teenager the confidence that Man United believe in him.

Garnacho has been afforded [13 league appearances this season](https://fbref.com/en/players/7aa8adfe/Alejandro-Garnacho), which may well have been unthinkable at the start of the campaign, but it’s a testament to the work he and Ten Hag will have done behind the scenes that he has risen to prominence at Old Trafford this term.

[It has previously been reported](https://metro.co.uk/2023/01/17/manchester-united-offer-alejandro-garnacho-just-20000-a-week-despite-real-madrid-interest-18115545/) that a new contract offer from Man United could see Garnacho go from a weekly wage of around £5,000 to £20,000, which will be life-changing for the winger, while the Red Devils won’t be ruining their wage structure by raising his salary.
