News about Alvaro Fernandez

Manchester United's penalty shootout FA Cup semi-final win over Coventry City brought more questions than answers - both in terms of Erik ten Hag and his players.  This has been a season riddled by mistakes on and off the pitch for United and with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos team now assuming control of football operations, a summer shake-up feels inevitable.  United are looking to raise £100million through player sales and for some shown the door that will mean accepting a sizeable loss on their initial transfer outlay. Mail Sport runs through Manchester United's squad to work out who stays and who goes.

A number of big-name Manchester United players could be sold this summer, according to a report. It has been another season of struggle for the Red Devils this term, having failed to build on their third-place finish last term in their second season under Erik ten Hag. The Red Devils find themselves sixth in the Premier League table, 11 points off of Tottenham and Aston Villa - who are tied on points in the race for a top four finish.

Fans of Manchester United have taken to social media to find out how much money the club paid for Alejandro Garnacho after his good show against Everton over the weekend. On Saturday, the Argentine starred in United's 2-0 win over Toffees, providing a timely reminder of how little money the club paid for his services. Garnacho moved to Old Trafford in 2020 as part of a recruitment drive that culminated in the signing of three top players from Spain, with Marc Jurado joining from Barcelona and Alvaro Fernandez from Real Madrid. The club paid just £420,000 for the transfer, but it's a transfer fee that has still baffles the United fans. Fans took to social media to remind those of what a bargain the forward was.

Manchester United's current part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe's new part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is expected to stamp his authority at the club this summer. Ratcliffe's £1.3 billion investment to purchase a 25% stake in United was officially approved last week, and he has already made significant decisions in recent weeks, with the club naming Omar Berrada as their next chief executive and contracting Dan Ashworth to become their sporting director. According to the Manchester Evening News, attention is now shifting to the playing staff, and United is prepared to offload at least 10 players at the end of the season.

After Manchester United had to offload 13 players in January without being able to make any new signings, Erik ten Hag has bemoaned FFP policies. The United boss decided to reduce his team, offloading mainly fringe players. Despite spending over £410 million since taking over, Ten Hage in Rasmus Hojlund has only one recognized fit striker, as FFP restrictions prevented him from obtaining a new one last month. United's Jadon Sancho, Alvaro Fernandez, Facundo Pellistri, Joe Hugill, Maxi Oyedele, Rhys Bennett, Dan Gore, Radek Vitek, Isak Hansen-Aaroen, and Sonny Aljofree have all passed away in January, whether on loan or permanently.

Dan Gore, 19, a Manchester United midfielder, is ending his loan transfer to Port Vale's League One team until the end of the season. Gore has made his first-team debut at United this season, playing as a replacement against Aston Villa in the Premier League and Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup. However, there is also a recognition that Gore must play regularly in order to continue.

Sir Dave Brailsford has only been covering Manchester United's scenes for the past few weeks, but Ineos sports director Adam Wood has admitted to the club's overstaffing. Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been on the ground at Old Trafford and Carrington, during the £1.3 billion investment, and the former British Cycling champion is already identifying areas where savings can be made and the club can be more streamlined. Ratcliffe is expected to appoint an external auditor to examine United's spending and structure, which may put some of the 1,100 employees under scrutiny.

SIMON JONES: A number of agents have been pitching to Manchester United prospect Dan Gore with the promise of finding him a loan. After impressing coaching staff, the 19-year-old has made his first team breakthrough this season against Crystal Palace and Aston Villa. However, there's an agreement that he needs regular competitive games to advance to the next level, and United will consider loan options.

Alvaro Fernandez, a loanee at Manchester United, has been called back to Granada by Manchester United. After spending the previous season in the Championship on loan at Preston, Fernandez joined the club in September on a season-long loan. However, Grenada's time as Nuevo los Carmenes has come to an end, according to a short statement shared on their website.

SIMON JONES: Manchester United are allowing 20-year-old striker Mateo Mejia to join Sevilla on a free transfer, but the transfer will also include a 25 percent sell-on clause. Mejia joined United Zaragoza in 2019 and has represented Colombia at the U20 level. Following the club's game against Tottenham on Sunday afternoon, he is expected to be loaned by United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri.

SIMON JONES: Manchester United are in talks to sell Alvaro Fernandez, a left-back, to Benfica. The Spaniard has spent the first half of the 2023-24 season on loan with LaLiga's Granada, but has yet to find a regular starting position. The 20-year-old has made 13 appearances in the league but started just five of them, and hasn't had a goal contribute during this time.

The striker has penned pen to paper on a contract with United until 2026, with the possibility of a further year, but the striker will continue his development with Martin Paterson of League One struggling Burton. Hugill, who joined Sunderland in 2020, has been on the bench four times for United this season, including for the FA Cup win over Wigan this week.

Following the arrival of Sergio Reguilon from Tottenham, Manchester United defender Alvaro Fernandez is expected to join Granada on a season-long loan. Fernandez excelled at Preston North End last season, and Burnley has expressed an interest. Marc Jurado, a 19-year-old defender, has completed a permanent move to Espanyol with a sell-on agreement.

Manchester United are trying to sign a left-back after Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia's injuries during less than a week in the transfer window. Both the England international and his understudy are set to be out before November, so Alvaro Fernandez is the only nominal left-back at Erik ten Hag's disposal. At Preston last season, the 20-year-old impressed on loan, but it will take a major leap of faith from ten Hag to throw him in at the deep end of the Premier League.

Dean Henderson, a goalkeeper for Crystal Palace, is currently negotiating a fee with Manchester United. Altay Bayindir of Fenerbahce has been lined up to replace Henderson's place.

Burnley's offer for Aaron Ramsey, a center for Aston Villa midfielder Aaron Ramsey, has increased to £12 million, and Man United has contacted Man United regarding a loan transfer for Left-back Alvaro Fernandez this summer. Ramsey is the uncle of Villa player Jacob but he could leave his boyhood club this summer if Burnley decides to bring in new recruits this summer.

Manchester United's new squad numbers have been given to four of their academy players as Erik ten Hag's squad has been preparing for the new season. The Red Devils are gearing up for their first friendly against Leeds on Wednesday, before moving to Scotland for a follow-up match against Lyon. A pre-season tour of America follows where much tougher opposition awaits in Arsenal, Wrexham, Real Madrid, and Borussia Dortmund.

West Brom paid the price for starting yet another game slowly as a result of Preston's defeat, leaving them languishing in the Championship relegation zone with only one win all season. Under pressure boss Steve Bruce called their unlucky habit of going a goal down within 15 minutes in eight of their last 11 games this season 'ludicrous.' Albion fell behind after just seven minutes, this time when Emil Riis, a young boy, swept Alvaro Fernandez's low cross.

Hannibal Mejbri, a Manchester United midfielder, is expected to join Birmingham City on loan. The Red Devils academy player was instrumental in United's losses to Liverpool and Crystal Palace last season but he has yet to commit to Erik ten Hag's first-team plans. Birmingham, the joint-lowest scorers in the Championship after six matches, has held talks with Man United in the hopes of attracting the 19-year-old to the west Midlands on loan.
