Manchester United must avoid Paul Pogba mistake with Alejandro Garnacho's development

Manchester United have a number of promising players coming through their academy, but no player has got the fans more excited than young Argentinian winger Alejandro Garnacho right now. The 17-year-old made his debut for the first team this season against Chelsea coming on as a substitute late in the second half.

Many fans are expecting that Garnacho's star at United will continue to rise under Erik ten Hag, but in recent weeks Italian clubs have begun to circle and enquire about the winger's availability. Juventus are chief among them, according to reports from Europe, and many fans will be getting unwanted flashbacks to the Paul Pogba situation when midfielder first left the club in 2012.

Luckily Garnacho has a contract with United until 2025, but to make sure that the winger is not swayed into moving away from Old Trafford the Manchester Evening News understands that the club are making progress towards a new deal for the player. However, there is still work to be done to make sure that United get the best out of him.
