Manchester United forward Alejandro Garnacho received phone calls from the Spanish national team in a last-ditch attempt to make him switch his allegiances from Argentina.
Garnacho has made 15 appearances in the Premier League this season for United and four of those have been starts. He has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in Erik ten Hag’s squad and looks set for a massive future at the top level – although his contract at United is into the final 15 months.
Mirror Football exclusively reported last month that United chiefs had stepped up their efforts to reach an agreement with the youngster's representatives. It comes as clubs such as Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are monitoring his contractual situation.
