Granada wing-back Alvaro Fernandez still hopes for a future at Manchester United.

Fernandez is spending the season on-loan with Granada in Spain.

He told the Athletic: "What message did United give me? That I should go out on loan, that Ten Hag didn't count on me, that I should continue to gain experience, rhythm, and we'll see what happens in the future.

"But it's clear that football doesn't end at any club and that you have to keep working. My main objective is to return to United and make a place for myself there.

"I've never had any doubts. I have people by my side who support me and make me see things as they are. I understand that you have to take it step by step.

"We'll see the situation… you know how football goes, it goes day by day.

"I have two years left in Manchester and for now I'm thinking mainly about Granada. When I have to talk in the summer, or at Christmas, you never know… we'll see what happens.

“My objective is Manchester, of course, but it's such a crazy game that maybe next year I'll be in Germany or Italy or Spain. You never know."
