Manchester United wonderkid Alejandro Garnacho has reportedly caught the eye of Juventus.

This year, out of all the players in United’s academy, Garnacho was spoken about a lot more than any other prospect.

Garnacho’s incredible form in the FA Youth Cup brought the club glory and he has been performing well at U20 level for Argentina.

United fans see him as a young star with a bright future at the club, but not if Juventus have their way next summer.

According to a new report from Tuttosport, as cited by Sport Witness, Garnacho is being watched closely by the Italian giants. It is believed that they are looking to make a move for the player when his current deal expires in 2023.

That would see them repeat what they did with Paul Pogba in 2012 when the midfielder left United for the first time. Not to mention how Juve are likely to sign him again on a free transfer this summer.

We will be hoping Garnacho signs a new deal at United.
