“Man Utd fans fume as ‘highly-rated’ youngster set to exit, just hours after Sancho’s departure – more on the way out?” DEVASTATING NEWS: coming from Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United fans are not happy as another player is set to leave the club just few days after Jadon Sancho’s departure. The highly-rated youngster has been deemed surplus to requirements, and is now looking for a new club. He said” He did to me the same thing he did to Sancho. I have to leave the club as soon as possible and I will prove my worth to him he wants to mess up my career and I can’t watch him do that”.
Highly-rated Manchester United left-back, Alvaro Fernandez, appears poised to depart for Benfica, a move that has irked fans, particularly in the wake of Jadon Sancho’s recent exit. The 20-year-old, who initially joined United’s academy from Real Madrid and earned the U21 Player of the Year for 2021/22, had a successful loan stint with Preston North End in the Championship last season.
Despite featuring in pre-season with United, Fernandez was loaned out to La Liga’s Granada for the current term. While he made 13 league appearances, seven came as a substitute, falling short of his season expectations. Reports indicate ongoing negotiations between United and Benfica for a potential permanent transfer, with a potential buyout option in the finalized deal.
United supporters took to Twitter to express their discontent. One fan raised concerns, stating, “If there’s no buyback clause in the Alvaro Fernandez deal, I’m baffled by the club’s approach.” Another fan noted the peculiarities in the left-back position, commenting, “It’s utterly bizarre considering the uncertainties in that LB position.” A third fan pointed out, “When Benfica and Dortmund are vying for your top young talents, it’s a sign not to sell them.”
Expressing dismay, a fourth fan proclaimed, “Alvaro Fernandez is the best full-back from our academy in over a decade. His potential sale to Benfica would be amazing but not in a good way.” Questioning the decision, a fifth fan asked, “Selling Alvaro Fernandez for just £10m is incredibly strange. Why did we even sign [Tyrell] Malacia?” The concerns within the fan base underscore the unease surrounding the departure of another promising young talent.
As the backdrop of Sancho’s departure looms large, fans are left grappling with the unexpected exit of Fernandez, emphasizing the uncertainty and discontent among the Manchester United faithful.
