Manchester United starlet trains with national team for the first time

This week marked Alvaro Fernandez’s inaugural training session with the Spanish senior squad; the Manchester United loanee has continued to impress since his release from the Premier League powers.

Also, do not discount out the possibility that he will earn his first La Roja cap.

Alvaro Fernandez, who is currently on loan from Manchester United to Granada, is a member of the Spain U21 squad for the international holiday in November.

However, with fellow left-back Jose Luis Gaya struggling for fitness in the senior squad, Spain manager Luis de la Fuente gave Fernandez the opportunity to stake his claim alongside Rodri, Gavi, and Alvaro Morata. If Gaya is ruled out of this month’s European Championship qualifiers against Georgia and Cyprus (Granada Hoy), a promotion from the Under 21s to the first-team is on the cards.

During his time at Deepdale, Fernandez was dubbed Young Player of the Year by Preston North End. The twenty-year-old has made every effort to maintain his form at Granada. The former Real Madrid prospect has already appeared in eight La Liga contests, with one impressive performance against Barcelona garnering widespread acclaim from the Spanish press.

“Highly active.” “Fernandez contributed in every area (of the field),” AS remarked following his action-packed performance in Xavi’s reigning champions’ exhilarating 2-2 draw.

“His exceptional skill sets give the impression that he is more practical in the role of a traditional left-back.” He worked himself to exhaustion by exerting considerable effort throughout the field. “At times, excessive!”

His tenacious determination and admirable work ethic will undoubtedly resonate with the individual who still possesses the cards to defeat Manchester United.

Conversely, Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag could have benefited greatly from Fernandez’s services during Luke Shaw, Sergio Reguilon, and Tyrell Malacia’s injury-related absences.

Recently, Victor Lindelof, Diogo Dalot, and Sofyan Amrabat have all been compelled to play out of position at left back.
