The Argentine winger, known for his fearless dribbling and explosive pace, revealed that while the opportunity was huge, he had a clear message for Pérez when they met face-to-face: “I’m staying at Manchester United.”

The young star reportedly thanked Florentino for the interest but made it clear his heart remains at Old Trafford, where he’s eager to forge his own legacy. The bold decision signals Garnacho’s ambition to become a central figure in United’s future, even in the face of interest from Europe’s most decorated club.

“Thank you, but I’m home.”

This revelation has sparked major buzz among fans of both clubs. Manchester United supporters are celebrating Garnacho’s loyalty, while Real Madrid fans are left wondering what could have been had the move gone through.
