Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has held high words for starlet Alejandro Garnacho, considering him a potential future star.
The 18-year-old forward has made an impact this season, delivering impressive performances as a substitute for the Red Devils.
Casemiro has been impressed by the Argentine’s abilities and character, considering him a quality individual. The 31-year-old midfielder believes that Garnacho will play a significant role for United in the coming years.
As stated by the Manchester Evening News, the Brazilian said:
“Recently he has renewed with the club, he is a player to whom the club contributes a lot. We know that he is a great player, but he’s also great for the next 10 years at Manchester United, we’re sure he’s going to be a great player here and he’s becoming very important to us.”
Garnacho joined the Red Devils from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2020 and has primarily featured in the club’s youth teams.
However, under manager Erik Ten Hag’s guidance this season, the 18-year-old has been given the opportunity to showcase his skills at the highest level.
Garnacho has seized the chance and has successfully earned a place in the manager’s plans.

At the beginning of the season, the gaffer seemed hesitant to rely on the young attacker. The 18-year-old received limited playing time during that period.
However, Garnacho demonstrated his true potential once he was given regular playing time. His energetic and direct style of play brought a refreshing dynamic to the team.
As a result, the young forward has become a reliable option off the bench. Throughout the season, Garnacho has been granted regular minutes on the pitch, contributing five goals and five assists in 34 appearances across all competitions.
While he still has a long way to go in his development, having experienced players like Casemiro in the squad is invaluable.
