Man Utd news: Red Devils close to agreement with star Garnacho thinks is ‘the best’

Manchester United are reportedly closing in on a contract extension for Facundo Pellistri. A fresh commitment to the Uruguayan would come as good news for Alejandro Garnacho, who evidently rates him highly after an important contribution in pre-season. Man Utd star Varane publicly hits out at FA for ‘refusing’ to listen to players Despite being more than two years younger, Garnacho has managed to do what Pellistri has not – nail down a spot in the United first team. Last season, 19-year-old Garnacho managed an impressive 34 appearances in all competitions. By comparison, Pellistri has notched just 10 senior matches in his entire Red Devils career. All of them came last campaign, with manager Erik ten Hag gradually phasing the winger into the fold. Already a regular for Uruguay at international level, many have been left to wonder why things are moving so slowly for Pellistri at Old Trafford.
