The meteoric rise of Manchester United’s 18-year-old sensation has been nothing short of remarkable. In just a short time, he has established himself as a vital figure in the first team, winning over fans and coaches with his fearless style of play and mature approach to the game.
His consistent performances have secured him a regular spot in the starting XI, and the club made its faith clear by handing him a long-term contract extension on February 23. But the story doesn’t end there—talks are already underway for a fresh deal that would improve his wages and reflect his growing importance to the team.
For now, neither the player nor the club are rushing negotiations. Both sides prefer to wait until the end of the season, when United’s European fate will be clearer—whether that’s Champions League football, a Europa League push, or the Conference League.
Amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding Erik ten Hag’s future, one thing remains certain: the United manager deserves credit for giving opportunities to young stars. Just as he has done with Alejandro Garnacho, Ten Hag has been instrumental in developing this 18-year-old prodigy into one of the brightest talents at Old Trafford.
