Alejandro Garnacho is only 18 years old and has already won one significant title with Manchester United whilst making 29 first-team appearances for the club this season.
The talented winger, who really impressed Erik ten Hag during their first season of working together, recently signed a new contract with the club.
In an exclusive interview with MUTV to mark the signing of his contract, Garnacho revealed which Red has helped him become a regular first team player by acting the “Father Figure” for him at the club.
“From the very first day that I went into the dressing room [the team have] really treated me just like one of the lads,” he said.
“I’m the youngest guy out of all that squad and so players like Lisandro Martinez who is like, well I say around here that he’s like my dad! He treats me like my dad [would treat me].
“When he needs to tell me off, he does, and when I do well, he tells me that I have. He always tries to help me with everything.

“Then you have players like Bruno [Fernandes] who’s quite close to me. He helps with everything that he can.
“I’m also good friends with David De Gea, we speak the same language and he’s a player who I’m very close to and we get on very well together. They all help me quite a lot.”
Alejandro’s development will surely only benefit from having such experienced players around him as he works to achieve further success with Manchester United.
