Manchester United have an exceptional talent on their hands in Alejandro Garnacho.
It's been a tough decade for the Red Devils, but class is permanent and is clearly embedded into the roots of the club - as can be seen with their academy product portfolio.
Despite the emerging talents of youth players such as Hannibal Mejbri, Shola Shoretire, Anthony Elanga and Charlie McNeill - there is a bigger buzz around former Atletico Madrid prospect; Alejandro Garnacho.

The Manchester United youngster has achieved a cool 18 goal returns (12 goals, six assists) in 30 appearances that span from the U18s to the U23s in Premier League 2.
Despite not making a first-team appearance for the Red Devils, the 17-year-old was called up to the Argentina national team last month in what looked to be a bid to get the starlet to secure allegiance - with Garnacho also able to play for Spain having been born in Madrid and growing up there.
Garnacho was described by the Spanish media (via Playmakerstats.com) as the "jewel in the crown" of Atletico Madrid's academy, though, that was until Manchester United beat several top European outfits to his signature.
The youngster has also been described as "rampant" by Manchester United themselves, after a performance against Stoke City in which he bagged a hat-trick in the U18s' 6-1 win.
With his record healthy, his reputation growing, and the fact that he is 17-years-old plying his trade with the U23's - the main hype around the starlet is his adoration and subsequent comparison to Cristiano Ronaldo.
Taking to Instagram, Garnacho has already stated: "Greatest of all times... @Cristiano" after the great Portuguese gave the youngster the match ball after hitting a hat-trick against Norwich City.
The United starlet has also been seen emulating Ronaldo's "Siuu" celebration after netting in the academy whilst his deal with Nike is yet another resemblance of the famous attacker.
The fact that Garnacho has trained with both Lionel Messi and Ronaldo at the age of 17-years-old is incredible but he has earned the right to do so with his performances for the youth set-up.
His goal in the FA Youth Cup win over Wolverhampton Wanderers served as a fantastic example of his prowess as a player.
Ten Hag could instantly impress the fanbase by utilising the youngster in what looks to be a major rebuild for the club.
