BREAKING NEWS: ATHLETIC BILBAO COACH TARGETS GARNACHO AFTER UNITED MASTERCLASS AT SAN MAMÉS
In a dominant Europa League semi-final first-leg performance, Manchester United ran out 3-0 winners over Athletic Bilbao—thanks in large part to the dazzling display of Alejandro Garnacho. The 20-year-old Argentine winger terrorized Bilbao’s defense with his pace, flair, and creativity, earning widespread praise and catching the eye of Bilbao’s head coach.
Speaking after the match, the coach didn’t hold back in his admiration:
“If United make him available this summer, we’re going in hard—no hesitations. Garnacho was the standout performer tonight. Without him, the game would’ve looked completely different. He’s the kind of talent you build a squad around.”
Garnacho’s influence was pivotal as United also saw goals from Casemiro and a Bruno Fernandes brace. The result puts them in a commanding position ahead of the return leg at Old Trafford.
Despite Bilbao’s interest, Manchester United sources insist Garnacho is untouchable. Since joining from Atlético Madrid in 2020, he has risen quickly through the ranks, becoming a vital part of Erik ten Hag’s plans.
With the football world watching, Garnacho’s trajectory continues to rise—but United are intent on keeping their starlet right where he is.
