Man Utd set for contract talks with teenage sensation

Manchester United are planning a new long-term deal for promising graduate Alejandro Garnacho.

The 17-year-old has yet to make an impact with the senior squad, but has shown plenty of promise with the youth teams.

He bagged 14 goals and six assists last season, and United are determined to commit him to a new long-term contract soon.

His current deal expires in 12 months, and the hierarchy may need to act fast with Juventus lurking to sign him on a free transfer.

The Bianconeri previously pursued Paul Pogba on a Bosman deal in 2012, capitalising on the midfielder's lack of senior minutes.

They are planning another repeat with Garnacho, but United will be determined to avoid the prospect of losing the Argentine.

Garnacho has been tipped to make his breakthrough under new manager Erik ten Hag, who likes to integrate academy talents.

The teenager could get minutes in the Europa League group stage to prove himself before getting his Premier League chance.
