Manchester United fans told impressing seven goal star seeking big time move

Former Red Devils star Nicky Butt believes Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho is privately eyeing a move to Real Madrid or Barcelona in the future.

Garnacho has been one of the better and more influential players at Old Trafford during the club’s recent struggles, reaching double-digits last season and scoring seven goals in 18 games so far this term.

However – there has been some transfer speculation that he could be interested in a move away from Old Trafford in the coming windows, having been previously been linked with moves to Juventus and Atletico Madrid.

But Butt can see him ‘wanting’ to leave if there was an opportunity to join La Liga giants Madrid or Barca: ‘The Premier League is the best league in the world but all the best players always leave and go to Spain, go to Real Madrid or Barcelona,’ Butt said on the Football’s Greatest podcast.

‘If you look at all the superstars, they never stay in the Premier League. They stay until they need to go to the next level.

‘A lot of the players see the next level as being Real Madrid or Barca but we don’t see anywhere bigger than Man United. Our mentality is if you leave Man United you’re going down.

‘You don’t get appreciated here like you do at Madrid. You can guarantee Kylian Mbappe will be in the running for the Ballon d’Or next year because he’s at Real Madrid.

‘It’s like Garnacho, he’s doing well here now, he’s a young Argentinian boy. If he keeps going, you can imagine him wanting to go to Real Madrid or Barcelona. Players become superstars there, not only on the football pitch.’

There is a massive lure of making a move to the likes of Madrid and Barcelona, Garnacho has been impressive for Manchester United at times, but he is not going to get that move to the La Liga giants unless he improved by a couple of levels.
