Man Utd winger Garnacho urged to dump agent

Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho has been told to fire his agent.

The Argentine youngster has yet to agree a new contract with the Red Devils.

Garnacho, who has been a key figure for coach Erik ten Hag off the bench this season, has 18 months to go on his present deal.

The Mirror states United offered Garnacho an eight-year deal, but Garnacho's family are not eager to accept such a long-term offer.

Former United defender Paul Parker has questioned the impasse.

"I don't understand why he wants to leave the biggest club in the world," Parker told wettbasis.

“And why Juventus or Real Madrid? Juventus are in a really bad situation at the moment so he would get there to be on the bench in a bad team. And Real Madrid, of course it's a big club, but he would play there even less than at Man United.

“So these rumours make absolutely no sense and I don't think they are true. I believe the agent is trying to pressure Man United to give Garnacho a big deal so the agent can line their pockets with big bucks.

“That's how agents work these days and Garnacho should consider firing him for not trying to help Garnacho. Actually, I don't understand why players want agents. The only thing they do is create drama and take some footballers' hard-earned money."
