SIR JIM RATCLIFFE has earmarked Alejandro Garnacho as an essential player under his new regime, according to reports.
Not only has he been identified as a player that won’t be sold, but it is understood Ratcliffe sees him as a player to build United around.
TalkSPORT report that United are to reject any interest from Real Madrid, who were rumoured to be readying an £86million bid for the Argentine.
But Ratcliffe sees the young winger, 19, as essential to the future of the club.
United chiefs have been impressed with the winger’s attitude around the training ground as he continues to step up to being a senior player for United.
It comes after Bruno Fernandes publicly questioned Garnacho’s attitude when he first broke into the United team.
