Manchester United currently facing challenges at left-back, former player Alvaro Fernandez has once again sparked interest among United fans. Fernandez scored for Benfica in last night’s match against France and earned the Man of the Match award, further highlighting his growth and skill. The 21-year-old remains highly regarded at Old Trafford, where United ensured a buyback clause in their agreement with Benfica. Rumors suggest that the club may consider activating this clause as early as the January transfer window, particularly as reports indicate new head coach Ruben Amorim is an admirer of the young Spanish player.

In the recent match, Fernandez stood out with 114 touches, a passing accuracy of 94%, and one key pass. He also made a significant defensive impact, with six clearances, four tackles, and five aerial duels won out of eight. This season, he has shown considerable improvement for Benfica, featuring in 14 matches across all competitions, scoring one goal, and providing two assists.

Given his development and impressive performances, should Manchester United bring Alvaro Fernandez back?
