Manchester United managed to persuade Alvaro Fernandez to ditch Real Madrid for the Reds after the club provided him with a detailed plan for his development.
The left-back arrived at Old Trafford from the Los Blancos academy in September 2020 and went straight into the Under-23s aged just 17. His rise saw him named the team’s player of the season last term before Preston North End opened their door for a loan move.
Fernandez is a key player in the Championship outfit’s set-up having played 23 times, normally as a wing-back. He’s provided four assists and kept seven clean sheets in that time.
