First name on the team sheet right now. We’re lucky he’s able to stay fit and healthy. Depending on what the plan for him is next season we’ll need another wide player. If he’s staying on the right which is where I think he’s played the best then we need a new LW

I know what you mean. He's on a similar path at the moment. It's only in his second season with the first team and he's still a teenager! Ronaldo was 21/22 in 06/07.
I'd love to see a United player replicate Ronaldo's 06/07 season in my lifletime. Best season he ever had for me.
He has that South American dog in him. He hasn't been getting the goals and assists from a "stats" point of view that his performances have deserved, but he's been hugely influential these past couple months.
Depends on who you are comparing him with. He doesn't have the pace of a young Giggs, prime Ronaldo, Bale etc. However, few do, and his acceleration is very good, and he has a very good low centre of gravity. His top speed is underrated, but he often struggles to maintain it, causing him sto stumble or lose speed after reaching it. That is quite common and can easily be worked on. Nani went from being fast to being extremely good at maintaining a very high top speed - I think everyone was surprised when he outpaced Clichy on a 50 yard run - Clichy was favoured at the time as one of the very fastest playeres in the league. In fact, I'd argue that with a little more training, Garnacho may reach Nani levels of pace, which is more than fast enough to be one of the very best wingers around.
He's going to be one of the best players in the world if he keeps up this trajectory, no doubt about that.
Just remember there’s no smoke without fire, whilst none of us no for definite, it would be a first however he’s not going to Madrid with their current options anyway but he might be persuaded in 2/3 years especially if Vinny junior goes?
Garnacho has shown he’s just as good off the right tbf. Vini, Mbappe & Garnacho front 3 with Bellingham, Camavinga & Tchouameni midfield.
There absolutely is in football transfer "journalism". They just make up stuff that sounds plausible.
Agreed. In this click-bait driven social media world, people literally just make shit up - even so much as journalists and sports writers. If it sounds good, just run with it for the clicks.
Always annoys me when someone posts a tweet from some random moron and laps it up as gospel. Gullibility in abundance.
Here we go again
Garnacho has done brilliantly this season to get around 15 G/A contributions.
He needs to make another jump to get up to the likes of Saka in the 30 G/A club. But I wouldn’t be that surprised if he is very close to that level this time next season.

I d expect him to end up there in a couple of years if they are interested. Not sure if they would go for him.
He was born there, Ronaldo is a Real legend and they are the biggest club around. Plus South Americans love them.
Here we go again
Sure, 200M euros. See if you can borrow a lever from Barca
Eh not bothered for a year or two. We're run by fairly smart people now, they'll know how to handle it.
If he really develops the next two years to a WC standard then Real might come in for him end of 25/26 and we'll be able to make a fair bit of pure FFP profit.

Madrid have much better players for LW position, no way they are going to sign Garnacho.
His mentality is his most important asset I think. Keeps going no matter the mistakes or chances missed. I noticed this even in the under 18s. Just looks for next chance.
Once his game awareness improves he will double his output, or should do. Can see how C Ronaldo inspired him.

exactly, in 3-4 years' time Mbappe will be around 28/29, Vini around 26, and Rodrydo also similar, Endrick will be just 20,
So I don't know how Garnacho fits in there because he won't get a lot of minutes in this setup.
We’re also obviously not letting him go for anything less than £100m+ should they ever actually come knocking either.
Yeah I think we may be lucky with him in that we wouldn't sell for less than 100mil (unless he ran down his contract) and at the same time I personally think he is just short of the quality of a 100mil+ player. So stars aligning he stays with us for a long time.
Here we go again
The feck is glaston doing in Spain. And why is he talking about Garnacho.
I don’t worry about any potential links to Madrid tbh. One thing people need to remember is Madrid only go for the absolute top end talent. In recent years the only PL players they’ve spent big on are Ronaldo, Alonso, Bale, Modric, Courtois and Hazard. These aren’t just good players, this is literally the best the PL had at the time of transfer.
Garnacho is good no doubt but RM won’t be spending £100m+ for just a good/very good level talent. They have players like Rodrygo, Arda Guler and Diaz who are as good if not better than him, talk less of Vini, Mbappe and Endrick who are tier above (potential wise for Endrick).
My main point here is we can just enjoy Garnacho without worrying about him leaving. If he proves to be good to warrant a RM move it means he’s become a nailed on world class player and that should mean good things for us on the pitch. I personally doubt he reaches such a high level but even if it does, it will be many years in the future so there’s no immediate worry.

And to add... They'll have Vini, Rodrygo, mbappe, endrick. They hardly need Garnacho
Yeah I agree. The only way I see it happening is if he has a Ronaldo/Bale like transformation in the next couple years.
Not only are they garbage sources, but they don't even back up what he's saying
To be good enough for Madrid you also have to be the best or at the very least second best player in your position in the world, Garnacho's a great talent but he'd have to be the next Ronaldo for them to be interested.
AG has been accused of being selfish this season - I'm not sure it was selfishness or self-belief, but whatever, he definitely wasn't selfish on Sunday as he could have gone for goal but passed to Amad. He's been amazing, imo, since he became a regular starter.
Don’t mind if he goes Real, as long as we fleece them for a fee. Can’t imagine they will have money though after signing Lord Mbappe.
Makes me sad how many are comfortable with us honing this talent and then, if he turns stellar, selling him off to Madrid for the appropriate price. What happened with Ronaldo was a tragedy and it should never happen again.
Part of being a so-called giant is ensuring your best players go nowhere until they are on the wane and have given you their best years. No way should it be entertained that we act as a feeder club and finishing school for anyone else. You simply do not hear of any other giant who does that, and it shouldn't just be the fear of oil money obliteration warding these clubs off.
What should happen is this club becoming a powerhouse again in its own right for whom it is a final destination club that stands on an even footing to win everything it contests for once more. Only after seeing out those objectives and wanting 'a new challenge' should players in their primes be even thinking about going anywhere else.
Even if you have a 'dream' of playing anywhere else, you do so once the best years have been extracted, just as is at any other giant in the game ala Munich only selling on their best players once the wheels are about to fall off or they've found a replacement or upgrade. We need to be as ruthless as we were pre-Ronaldo sale and it should no way be a marker and focal point for anyone following afterward. We are not a platform to be used to go on to another club.

Whenever Garnacho has a good few games the chat on here turns to transfer bollocks.
Strange to worry about that, just enjoy the kids development and the sooner United get back to the stage where other teams actually want their players the better!

When do we reckon he will get starts for Argentina? Surely only a matter of time on current form!
United are the best supported club in the world.
SJR wants to make us the best team in the world.
Garnacho will see all that is being done here and will stay.

Huge missed opportunity with regards to the no. 7 shirt
It does feel inevitable that he'll inherit the number 7 shirt eventually, but I agree it should've happened last year. I can't see a world where Mount outlasts him.
He will get the 11 shirt.
Hojlund will get the 9 shirt.
Hojlund will get the 9 shirt.
They will just tap him up and he will move there for free. Look how they have been signing players lately.
Agree, the stars (G+A) are decent but he has been directly involved in more goals than the stats shows, like the 2 penalties he won for us, or that he was directly involved in both McTomineys and Antonys goal against Liverpool this weekend - there are more goals that he has been involved in both not got "points" for it. Him and Höjlund are by far our biggest weapons offensively right now.
People seem forget that this is he first real season as a regular starter and that he is only 19 years old, being a starter for Manchester United and selected on regular basis lately for the world champions.
Feels good that he has 4+1(?) years left on his contract.
We’re a long way away from a situation where we need to worry about him leaving. He’s not that good right I am delighted with his progress this season of course - especially his mentality and adaptability to the right wing.
United fans and shitting their pants about a player potentially leaving despite United historically not having any problems keeping players, with Ronaldo being the exception
United doesn’t do “release clauses”. Yes, we’ve been white for years but what club do you guys think you’re talking about?
Also, you went from “€100m release clause” to “Ten Hag was quoted in his speech” to citing shite sources to “no smoke without fire, maybe one day”

I really like him as well and wouldn't at all mind being proven wrong, but I feel like his potential is being overestimated right now
He's a really good winger already and it's more likely than not that he will be much better by 22/23, but I just don't see him as a Ballon d'Or contender or even as a top 5 player in his position
In what way?

How do we define is prospect? Rooney came to the club after Ronaldo. To be honest Martial was much more talented than Garnacho who I admire just as much for his mentality as his skill. Personally in the current I rate Mainoo’s potential a little higher.
