Manchester United teenager Alejandro Garnacho says he is excited to help the club secure Champions League football.

Manchester United are placed fourth in the Premier League currently, seven points ahead of fifth, also with a game in hand.

Alejandro Garnacho is on the verge of a return to action, having been pictured back in training over the weekend.

After signing a new contract, Garnacho is excited for what lies ahead, and is setting his ambitions high.

Alejandro Garnacho excited for Champions League

Alejandro Garnacho has had a big breakthrough season for Manchester United, playing a part in the club’s Carabao Cup success.

He has also scored goals in the Premier League, FA Cup, and Europa League. Pending United’s qualification for the Champions League, it is only a matter of time until he scores there too.

Garnacho told club media: “This season we’ve still got one trophy ahead of us to play for and we’ll be battling for it as hard as we can.

“And we also have the target of getting into the Champions League, of course. And with my ambition and my will to win, I feel even extra motivated.”

Garnacho sounds totally locked in, not at all distracted by missing out on a call to the Argentina under-20 World Cup.

There is a chance he is involved this week as Manchester United take on Brighton and then West Ham. Both games are away from home, and won’t be straightforward.

But having Garnacho back would be a useful boost, and two victories would more or less guarantee Champions League football for next season.
