Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho is set to sign a new deal at Old Trafford following his impressive start to the season.
The Lowdown: Garnacho's emergence
So far this term, the winger has made eight senior appearances for Erik ten Hag's side across all competitions.
In those outings, the 18-year-old has chipped in with two assists and two goals, the latest of which saw him grab a late winner in United's 2-1 victory at Fulham and ultimately receive praise from the manager.
As a result of his efforts in the first-team this season, it appears that the Red Devils are looking to see the teenager sign a new deal at the club.
The Latest: Man United preparing new Garnacho deal
According to a report from the Daily Star on Saturday, Garnacho is close to signing a new deal at United which would see his weekly wages increase tenfold.
The report adds that negotiations are well underway with the teenager's representatives, and the Old Trafford hierarchy are optimistic that those will be successfully completed before the end of the year.

The Verdict: Great move from United
Hailed by journalist Steven Railston for his "electric" cameo against Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup earlier this month, Garnacho has the highest rate of shots on target per 90 minutes for United in the current Premier League campaign (2.14).
This highlights the attacking talent that he offers and how much of a threat he carries for opposition defenders and goalkeepers, as Fulham found out at Craven Cottage a week ago.
Given the promise and potential that the youngster has started to show in the senior team this season, it makes sense for the club to try and tie him down to a new deal.
If the player does sign the proposed new contract, this could be a great long-term investment for United, as long as he keeps taking every opportunity that he gets to impress Ten Hag.
