Granada wing-back Alvaro Fernandez says he could see a career path at Manchester United.

Fernandez is on-loan at Granada from United, where he moved from Real Madrid as a teen.

He recalled to the Athletic: "At that time, there was Brandon Williams and Luke Shaw and there were no other full-backs.

Manchester [United] is completely different [to Real Madrid]. You lived with the professionals you'd go down for breakfast and you'd bump into [Marcus] Rashford. I was lucky enough to start very well in England. They gave me the best youth player award [reserve team player of the year, in May 2022] and supported me a lot.

There was [fellow Spanish speaker Juan] Mata, [Edinson] Cavani, [David] de Gea, who pushed me, encouraged me and looked after me a lot. I have no complaints about that. At Madrid, maybe it's more separate."
