Alejandro Garnacho ‘dreams of playing for Real Madrid’ – with president Florentino Perez ‘desperate’ to sign the Man United teenager

Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho dreams of one day playing for Real Madrid, according to a report.

The 19-year-old is having a strong second year in United’s first team, having established himself as one of the players to watch last season.

Garnacho fended off competition from Antony on the right flank and started 20 of his 28 Premier League matches, scoring five goals in the process.

His surprising emergence last season was rewarded with a bumper new five-year contract, although, according to one report, the Red Devils could have a battle between them to keep him beyond that point.

Tyc Sports claims that the Argentina international’s “dream as a player is to play for Real Madrid”. It continues that the winger is not looking to move to the Bernabeu at the moment, but wants to feature for the 14-time Champions League winners at some point in his career.

Real Madrid have signed some of the brightest young stars in world football in recent years and look set to dominate La Liga and Europe.

According to Exclusive Real Madridthe Spanish giants are watching closely and Perez is keen to meet the player when the team travel to Manchester to face Man City in the Champions League next month.
