Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho is set to sign a new five-year deal after reaching an agreement in principle with the club, as per ESPN.

The 18-year-old has made 27 appearances for United since making his first-team debut last April, scoring three goals and impressing with his performances. As a result of his progress, his new contract will see his salary adjusted to reflect his new status in Erik ten Hag's squad.
Negotiations over new terms began several months ago. A source close to the talks confirmed to ESPN that both the club and the player have now agreed to the deal's financial elements and the contract's length. Garnacho's salary will also progressively increase as his role in the Manchester United team grows.
While an official announcement is yet to be made, both parties are said to be keen to finalize the deal, with an announcement potentially coming in the next few weeks.
It is understood that negotiations over the sale of the club to potential buyers, including Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani and British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, have not affected contract talks with players.
Garnacho joined United from Atletico Madrid in 2020 and has impressed with his performances, earning call-ups to the Spanish and Argentine youth teams.
He was also part of Argentina's preliminary squad for the 2022 World Cup, although he did not make the final cut and is yet to make his senior international debut.
The new deal will be a massive boost for United, who have identified Garnacho as a key player for the future. With his talent and potential, the Red Devils will be hoping that he can continue to develop and make an even more significant impact in the years to come.
