Garnacho could earn Man Utd millions after joining elite list of footballers
Alejandro Garnacho could make millions if Manchester United sell him after joining an elite list of young players.
Having enjoyed a stunning breakthrough under Erik ten Hag, Garnacho has made significant strides in his career, positioning himself as a valuable asset for the Red Devils. The 19-year-old forward's impressive performances have not only earned him regular first-team minutes but also contributed to a substantial increase in his market value.
Garnacho's journey to success began with a stellar display in the 2022 FA Youth Cup final, shortly after Ten Hag's appointment as manager at Old Trafford was confirmed. Since then, he has become an integral part of the senior squad, netting five goals in 39 appearances.
According to Transfermarkt – the renowned football data site – the Argentine's current valuation stands at £21.73 million. This impressive figure represents a staggering rise of £17.38 million compared to his value from a year ago.

Only Brighton striker Evan Ferguson has experienced a more significant surge in value among Premier League teenagers, reports the Express. Despite initially struggling to earn Ten Hag's trust, Garnacho persevered and eventually earned more playing time with United's first team.
His breakthrough moment came when he scored a late winner against Fulham in a Premier League match just before the World Cup break in 2022. He continued to impress throughout the season, finding the back of the net on four more occasions.
However, there have been some recent setbacks for the youngster. He had a goal disallowed for a tight offside decision in United's 3-1 defeat to Arsenal earlier this month.

Garnacho was then surprisingly left on the bench for United's 1-0 victory over Burnley at the weekend having come on as a substitute in previous game against Bayern Munich. Ten Hag explained the decision, with the Dutchman saying: "He (Garnacho) was in against Munich and I thought our team was playing very well.
"So I wouldn’t change that (starting XI) tonight because this game was a demand to keep that organisation. That's why I wouldn't change.
"I saw the players were still capable and the fitness levels were good and the energy was still there, it was only 1-0. I wouldn't change that because I also know that Burnley in one moment and in this moment where everything is against us – we have seen again a disallowed goal.
"I don’t want to say if it is the right decision or wrong decision, but again there was a moment that was not on our side. I wanted to avoid that and keep this team on because they did well."
