JAKARTA - Manchester United started doing warehouse washing hours after winning the FA Cup. They finished selling the forgotten star, Alvaro Fernandez, with Benfica.

Benfica agreed to make the 21-year-old left-back permanent with a transfer value of 5 million pounds.

This is the first sale of the Red Devils before Old Trafford's exit opens massively shortly.

Fernandez is indeed marginalized. Since leaving for the senior team in 2022, he has not got a place.

He failed to make a single appearance in Manchester United's first team. Fernandez has only been on the squad's plane five times in the Premier League.

He was then loaned to several clubs, such as Preston North End (2022-2023), Granda (2023-2024), and finally Benfica.

Manchester United included a purchase clause in the loan agreement to Benfica. However, there are other details in the clause, which include splitting back and selling only to United.

Benfica feels the need to make Fernandez permanent, which has contributed quite a bit since the loan in January 2024.

He made 16 appearances for Benfica, scored one goal, and provided one assist.

His performance helped the Portuguese giant finish second in the league.

Fernandez has struggled to convince Benfica to make a permanent deal after his loan.

Spanish Under-21 players are now leaving Old Trafford with a duration of four years.
