'When he needs to tell me off he does!': Alejandro Garnacho praises 'father-like' figure that has helped him settle in to Manchester United's dressing room - as he also picks out Bruno Fernandes and David de Gea

Alejandro Garnacho has praised a 'father-like' figure that has helped him settle in to Manchester United's dressing room.

The teenage winger signed a new five-year contract with the Red Devils on Saturday and committed his future to United until June 2028.

The 18-year-old's breakthrough season at United has been disrupted by the ankle ligament injury he sustained against Southampton on March 12.

Garnacho scored four goals and made five assists in 31 appearances before the injury.

In an interview with MUTV, he described how Lisandro Martinez is a like a 'dad' to him and he has also received guidance from Bruno Fernandes and David de Gea.
