Casemiro, a midfielder for Manchester United, has lauded Alejandro Garnacho and said the young player has a bright future.
Both players participated in United’s FA Cup final loss to Manchester City on Saturday, with Garnacho making an impressive appearance after coming off the bench.
The Argentinean teenager twice outran the opposing defense before curling a shot just wide of Stefan Ortega’s left post for City.
The Argentine has been outstanding during his breakout campaign at Old Trafford, having contributed in a number of pivotal game situations.
In 37 games, the youthful player made six assists and scored six goals, including two of the most memorable ones: a dramatic victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage and a cool finish against Wolves in May.
When asked about his teammate’s abilities, Casemiro was eager to compliment him because he was obviously impressed.
Casemiro told the Argentine publication El Destape that the player recently renewed his contract with the team. He is a player who the team invests a lot in.
Garnacho just agreed to a new five-year contract that may keep him at Old Trafford through the year 2028.
His new contract represents a big raise from the $700 per week that he was previously making before signing a contract in April.
He has our affection as players, but we also need to exercise caution since, at the end of the day, he is only 18 years old, said Casemiro. You must go calmly to avoid burning phases.
Garnacho only cost the team £100,000, it was recently revealed, thanks to the compensation United paid to Atletico Madrid last year.
We are aware of his greatness as a player, Casemiro insisted. But he’s also fantastic for the next ten years at Manchester United; we have no doubts about his ability to succeed and grow into a key member of our team.
